The bad part was, that it was cut into those gigantic pieces that most folks do not want to mess with. Hubby, his brother-in-law, his nephew, and my son, took the wood splitter up and cut it all. There were a few near accidents, but the all came through it in one piece (thank goodness).
We are thrilled. It's red oak. The best wood to burn for heat. We are ever so grateful for it. They guys also took a rake to clean up the person's yard before leaving.
Proud "Mom" Moment: Hubby said a woman across the street asked where that "young man" was, that had been out helping, and she told Hubby she never saw such a "hard worker." His brother-in-law told him the same thing. That "young man" they were talking about is my son.
They brought home 7 full truck loads. And guess what? There are more in neighboring yards, and they came out and asked if Hubby wanted it too. I guess we're getting more wood. Oh, and the wood is oak too.

Good work ethics are NOT hard to come by (everybody can have them) ...but there just seldom seen anymore. Good job raising a hard worker.

How lovely that the hard working 'young man' is none other than your son!!
