Firewood Project

[pslamont]

We ar limited by the owners letting us know usually no more than a week in advance... that they are having trees cut down. We do not drop the trees, not the skill, not the necessary insurance, etc... we just cut them up and haul them home. Usually there is no mud on the trees as Leilani is a fairly dry area. Sometimes the owners have thm bucked up but often we have to do it. thy are usually newly felled trees but that are dead so pretty dry. They are almost always ohia. It's heavy and hard work. I used to e right in there cutting and/or hauling but my recent ill ness has left me weak and with poor balance so I am no longer a candidate.

Anyone who even sends us good thoughts or will consider helping out (even just laoding cut up wood to truck and trailer) if they can make the short notice date will be so very appreciated. Volcano is wet, not only cold so the wood fires dry out the air and keep down the mold/mildew issues. These unwell and/or elderly ladies appreciate it so much. We now have a large metal "barn" that we use to season the wood for a year. we had one fellow that has a major health problem but who still comes out and helps do what he can (which is a LOT). He came and picked up wood this week instead of us delivering it. It is so satisfying to know we can make this project continue to work even though I am out of the mix.

I know I "giuilted" some of you into responses and it probably was not "fair" but I just wanted some responses so thank you all so much. We ar waiting to hear from an owner for next week. Will post something as soon as I can and if you are not available that is okay. Thanks for considering us. Pam
