    Everyone wants it ready to burn. They don't want to wait until it's seasoned. Just stack it up and let it season, it will sell quick. We've been having rain for a week now,but cold air is making it's return. I mean I'm only 6 miles from Pennsylvania. 4 hours from Western NY where you get over 20 ft of snow a year. Heath use the vinyl coated wire. That will hold, I use it to guy trees that I plant in the Spring, Summer and early Fall. Try it and see, it will work for what you're using it for.

    Reason I didn't sell fully seasoned wood was I didn't have the space to store it while it dried. Your yard will be ok once it's had a chance to dry out. Green wood here sells for 30-40% less than certified dry wood of the same species. So,got the room take the time todry it,sell for that much more. Cheers from HB NZ

    Hey Heath, good video. Rachel is not going to like all that mud. You may want to pray for snow so it covers the ruts. It will clean up. I don’t think green wood ,would work up here in Minnesota either. I definitely agree with you on covers keeping leaves and branches from getting in the wood. What are you going to use for you gas container. I went out and bought the vevor model for diesel fuel. I thought about getting one for gas but they aren’t grounded. Great idea using the bladder for a shelter for your fuel tank. You guys have a Merry Christmas. Later

    Perfectly honest you wanted too much for green wood that has to sit almost 2 years. 100 bucks a face cord and you'll probably move it.
    Getting it cheap is why folks like to buy green
