I have to admit I questioned your judgement when you first moved to the farm (like it was any of my business). You're apparently a good enough judge of character to see that Bert, Adam, and family were great people. They add a lot to your channel these days.

In 1973 I bought a 1949 GMC pickup for $150. I had borrowed it before and knew exactly what I was getting. The first time I hauled $150 of building materials home on it I thought that was something. By the time I sold it 3 years later I had hauled $450 of building materials home in one load. Of course a lot of that was due to inflation during those 3 years. I sold some firewood and slate off it too, but not many dollars worth at $25 for a thrown on load with sideboards.

[@InTheWoodyard]

nice.

[@crazyman3157]

“Birds of the same feather flock together.” I remember my grand parents telling me that. Threw my short 43 years I have seen a few bad feathers leave my flock and gained more good feathers. Great group of friends you have Chris. Bert, Adam, and Gavin are all great friends to have. Your old best friend Tony is good friends as well. Kenny and Eric are good brothers to have as well. Life not about money, yes you need it to buy things and pay bills, but a good group of friends is the best lottery anyone could ever win. GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

I usually do. Thanks.

[@alfredutri4071]

When comparing and contrasting the delivery of a face cord with the truck verses the trailer, I think your time and effort is about equal. With the trailer you have to hitch up and un hitch which takes time and effort. Backing up to the unloading site is not as convenient, and you must be sure your trailer battery is charged. The hand loading is about the same, although with the trailer you don't have to watch out for the window. The only aspect of the truck delivery that has extra effort is the manual unloading. With all factors considered a face cord deliverd with the truck is just as efficient as with the trailer in my opinion.

[@InTheWoodyard]

You have very valid points but the trailer does empty itself...saving my body a little bit!
