We've had a Buck stove for 27 years and have never bought a single stick of firewood. You know why? Because this guy always manages to find a tree down somewhere, gets permission from someone if it's needed, and hauls it home to split it himself and stock us up for the winter. We've had dead trees from our lot for the last sixteen years, but a huge oak tree went down in a neighbor's yard last month and it was going to cost them a lot of money to get it cut up and hauled off, so Mr. Retired Guy offered to do it. Well, he does have a new chainsaw that I got him for a retirement gift, he has the time and the use of another neighbor's tractor so we have firewood probably for the next TWO years! He's got it all cut and cleared from the neighbor's yard and moved to our house. Now to rent that log splitter and get it ready to burn! He used to split it all by hand with a wedge and ax (or Daniel and his friends did) but the log splitter works so much better now...:)
Thank you, Kenneth, for always working so hard and taking such good care of your family and everyone else over the years!! We love you!
