Gonna update with pictures of my progress tomorrow. The log pile is shrinking...
day by day- progress.
So here in our little town "suddenly" everyone that supplies fuel wood for the full-time residents are all claiming they are "out of wood", those that still have firewood to sell are asking $300 per cord (double what wood goes for normally)...
Even the local sawmill is out of wood.
The odd thing is - everyday I travel to the "bigger town" to shop I still see the huge double trailer semi trucks (that sold me my wood) hauling loads of logs back to their place where they process the wood into cords of split wood.
My intuition was correct back in December, my "gut" told me to stop the semi truck driver and hit him up to sell me the full load of logs... "Stack it to the rafters" wether it is food, firewood, ammo, or firearms= I was right.
Also, suddenly the town is having a "water crisis" and the family that owns the 4 water wells that supply this town is demanding that the town residents all pay between $1400-$1700 to them to offset their cost and labor for drilling the wells, & maintaining the 4 town water tanks.
They have sent out letters from their attorney demanding payment or face a lawsuit in addition to having their water shut off until they get paid.
We dodged that bullet too, we bought a house on December 31 2020 that has a private well that is augmented, so we are not on public water.
Feeling pretty good sitting here right now after cutting wood all day!
Our neighbors stopping by telling me all about how they cannot find wood, plus getting their "threatening letters" in the mail over the water crisis...
Life is Good, it pays to plan ahead and be self sufficient!
