Smelling like a rose

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Freedom! self reliance : One Thread

We are going to install an outside wood burning furnace. Somewhere in my research I read to ask you local tree trimmer for the logs/stumps that he might have. Well on a whim I did this. This week he brought me 5 truck loads on rails from a split rail fence that he was removing so he could clean out a fence row around an 8 acer field. This totals 215, 10 foot long rails I did not count the post because they were rotted at the bottom and can not be reused, they will get burnt but the rails are on their way to becoming much needed fence post. Sometimes when I fall into it I came out smelling like S*%T but this week I came out smelling like a rose Grant

What a deal! We just found a similar one, but not quite as good as yours. A guy my dh knows is taking out a couple miles of fencing. Posts are all pressure treated, so even though they're used, they've got a lot of use left in them. We won't get them free, but for a couple $ per post, we can re-fence our property for about a third of what we figured we'd have to spend.

Ah, the Force is strong in this one. Notice he said " ...he BROUGHT me 5 truckloads..." That is the mark of a true Jedi scrounge. I am glad the Force is working in Pike County.
