No! If he wants the wood he can 'do' the tree for the wood.

We had a light dusting of snow last night. Now it's warming up again.

I agree with bby. Spend the money on a chainsaw, or better yet, an ax. Then you can get some exercise other than walking by the Dan.

Make sure that Bear stays out of the way.

I had a Birch tree in the back corner of the lot. It got sick and ate up by Saprobes. After it had been sufficiently consumed, I just pushed it over.

chainsaw might come in handy for threatening the cook to cook.

Traditionally, the wife cooks and the hubby works. But I guess we are not talking a 'traditional' household here.

If that Oak is big enough in diameter and straight it would make nice boards. If not, then firewood.

Muggins (me) paid him and the twunt never returned!!!

That'd not likely happen around here. They're getting $250 bucks a cord for firewood.
