Then on Sunday, he went back for another load. I helped unload at home and he went back for still another load. And with the sun shining brightly and temps approaching twenty degrees, Will (and Hondo) went back for more wood. We know there won&#8217;t be many more days because the temps will warm up on Thursday and the site will become impassable, even with a four-wheel-drive truck. So we&#8217;re hurrying as much as Will&#8217;s bad back will stand. Yep, we have woods on our land. But by getting this free wood, we&#8217;re saving our own wood to use later on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/2017\/03\/14\/sometimes-it-only-takes-a-phone-call\/last-load_1548-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5823\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Last-load_1548-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Last-load_1548-3.jpg 446w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Last-load_1548-3-300x242.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some of the poles are tamarack and will make good fence posts so we&#8217;ve set them aside for fencing projects this spring.
