After ICE STORM 2007 I went and bought an axe and chain saw. I picked up some big logs from peoples' curbs around town. I cut them into pieces and then split them with the axe. I restocked our wood pile. You can see in the picture of the stumps just how much water was inside of the wood. The concrete wicked the water out of them. Now they are pretty dry and it makes some good firewood. And the best part was that I didn't have to pay for it!
