Local guy.. I've been buying wood for him for 5 years or so, he drops it off during the week, I stop in over the weekend and pay him. It works for both of us ![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
I've alot of stuff to be split, and not the time to haul home the borrowed splitter, etc. So I figured I'd see if he had a cord or 2 to keep me going until I could get to it. He said "no, not for you...the fireplace was one thing, your stove is another". I was :grrr:
Then he said "how much do you have to split?" I said about 1 cord dry and ready (all cut into 16" rounds) and probably 2-3 of fresh stuff from summer/fall cut from the property. He said He's coming around with his 2 cord an hour splitter to some of his regular customers, and splitting what they have to help them out. Charging $100 per hour for 2 cord split. All done after New Years.
I figure, I don't have to tow the borrowed splitter home (and bring it back), stand out there, and git 'er dun, and all, it's worth it.
Add in the SO is having a "no, you can't have your own splitter, it's too dangerous" (said to me with a running chain saw in my hand :coolhmm: ).
