Not only helped him but I am sure it was great fellowship.

We have a fellow here that was almost killed in a logging accident a couple of years ago. His brother bring in cutoffs from his log job and I take a few bundles of slabs. One Saturday the community will gather in and Cut, split and stack his winter's wood. Bonds the whole community together.

That is quite the crew. My Father would of said,many hands make light work. I know you all had a good time. My brothers and me use to do wood together years ago. We all had a good time together.

I guess there is 'MORE HAPPINESS IN GIVING THAN RECEIVING'. I know it makes me feel good. 8) 8) 8)

You got that right
I have a small carpentry/ construction business. The worst part is giving someone a bill, if I didn't have to I'd charge alot less that's for sure.

A great thread and a great thing to do.

Thank you guys.  We just try to help if we can. I asked a lady we helped last year if she was burning wood this winter( she is alone now as her husband is in a nursing home). She said she was so I asked about wood for next year, she said oh no I'm going to pay for it. I said well see, I've told some of the guys we have 2 cord to get for her, they smiled and said set the date.


Help someone out , it's a great feeling. Sometimes it doesn't even take that much time.

There is an older couple in my church that I supply all the firewood they need. There is another younger couple that the husband works so much he can not get as much as they need, so I usually help them out some, also.

I have a neighbor on one side of me that is in his 70's. He gets around good and will do anything in the world for his neighbors. His wife broke her hip and he has to stay close. He wanted to buy wood off me, needed 3 pickup loads. He was still trying to get his wallet out of his pocket as I drove off. The neighbor on the other side is a widow woman. She burns about 4 loads a winter, it comes from my place too. Her money isn't any good around here.

If you can't help your neighbors now, then you don't really have a right to expect anyone to help you later on when you need it.

I have an Aunt like that. Everything I do for her she insists on paying for my time or whatever I give her. She always insist I take it.  ::)  And we just about have a fight everytime. I tell her I will take your money,but I will never do or give you anything again. That ends it right there,but I can tell she is not happy that I won.  ;D
