A couple of my buddies have been extremely helpful as we moved into our new home. Many hands make light work. And I can tell you from experience, without those hands we’d have been in real trouble moving my machinery.
One of my buddies has a cabin down in north central West Virginia (Wild & Wonderful), my home state. It’s right on the river, and it’s drop dead gorgeous. We, most frequently I, visit that cabin several times a year. So when he called me to ask for help clearing some downed trees and putting up firewood for the year, well, I don’t need a lot of convincing to go run a chainsaw in one of my favorite places on earth.
It was a great day. I mostly worked the splitter, and bucked and cut to length downed trees. I’ll say one thing, I’m getting too old to run a vertical splitter all bent over and bucking logs on the ground all day. My lower back was NOT happy. But, I guess I’m still young enough to bounce back, as I was back doing electrical in the shop the next day.
