Today's project

[frequentflier]

Red and white oak and silver maple to split and stack. I stopped and asked some tree trimmers if they had wood chips and got two huge piles. I mentioned that we heat our house with wood and they delivered this stack with a promise of much more to come. We bought them a case of water.
Ooh my aching back LOL

I found a case of beer works a bit better.

I know... right?!!

Corona?

No. I think he said beer.

They were in company trucks and I imagine that could get them into trouble with the bosses.
We are going to get a case of Gatorade.
I must say, though, that the group are hard working and look like they work well together. They know their equipment and how to use it, too. The trees they trimmed looked more professionally cut than most tree companies. With a background in horticulture, I have a critical eye.
Though there is a language barrier, I found the different guys I dealt with to be polite and professional, dressed properly for the work and all had hearing protection.
One of the last local tree trimming companies we used, the owner was up in a bucket truck with crocks, shorts, no hearing or eye protection and his crew was sketchy as hell. One of them brought his puppy. I often wondered if he had proper insurance as I have heard stories...
Karl Bowen took down some pines a couple years ago and the 1st thing he did was send proof of insurance. I would hire him or HoneyCove for our tree needs in the future.

You have an outdoor boiler?

wharf rat...do you need wood?

Timing was impeccable.
Was literally writing to somebody (in the ranch) about some when I noticed your text.
Haven't seen any of the usual Penn Line Spring cutting crews this year and struck out on the last three prospects.
See ya tomorrow.

What is an outside boiler??

What is an outside boiler??

I gather you do not have such a system.

They are an outdoor system that burn wood which heats water that the existing central boiler/furnace circulates around the home. They also can produce the homes hot water.

There also is indoor, wood burning hot air furnaces that feed into the central hi- vac.

We always called them Taylor Stoves (realizing that's a brand name like Kool-Aid).

They certainly can produce a lot of smoke, although most with the outdoor units don't worry so much about how dry their wood is.

Never heard of it but thanks for enlightening me!
