A guy that helps me at times clean up downed trees for the wood told about a time where he agreed to cut up some trees for the wood for a woman in our area. He burns wood almost exclusively to heat his place, a bit ironic since he's in the heating/cooling business, so he doesn't turn down the chance to get some.
