Logs just seem to show up!

Hi all. Just a quick story to share. I remember a post a while back asking about sources for logs. I was driving down a road near my home when I spoted some logs in a field randomly piled up. They were cut down to allow for a new drive going into an open field area. The next day as I drove by, I noticed they were starting to burn the logs! Within an hour, I was back at the fellows' house and introduced myself, telling him that I had a saw mill, and wondered if I could possibly take the logs off his hands. He was thrilled, since he had wondered how long it was actually going to take to burn all of those pine logs! My buddy Jimmy and I worked all day yesterday, hauling 4 triailer loads of logs to our mills. I'm beat today, but happy for all the lumber we'll soon have to use! Logs do just seem to just show up sometimes.

Thats for sure,yesterday a man that had done some tree trimming for me called and said he was taking down about 6 large pine trees and wanted to know if I wanted them,also said he woud pay me to drag the logs out of a canal ,no problem pulled then with my truck and they sawed them to length about twenty logs altogether!
Great to get free logs and be paid to take them

I returned home from work the other day (nothing to do with my hobby of sawing) to find (12) 12-14"dia 8' logs of black walnut and (10) 10-16"dia 8' logs of black cherry sitting at the end of my driveway.  I had no idea where they came from until a buddy of mine a few days later called to say he got them from a powerline clearing (establishing a new powerline, not existing) down the road and figured I could use 'em I have had my sawmill set-up for about a month now, it's amazing how fast word of mouth travels :D
