    Mike, I’m viewing this after we tried the same thing this week. Out of firewood and after desperate new customers came along we had the idea to hurry some totes of red oak along. The green wood was split and put in covered totes for a year and then we ran it for 48 hrs in a kiln identical to his. Three 330 totes per run. We delivered the first batch today and unloaded one of the totes to the customer’s rack so I had a chance to really see & feel the wood. Might well be the nicest firewood I’ve ever seen. Will get full report after some gets burned.

    I miss plumbing that way. Little details that only I did because it was just better. I did the same once pex took over but you just couldn’t beat a quality copper instal. Jim will agree it’s like a puzzle. You have to instal it in order, so pieces can be moved to make connections or sweat a single joint before you move a section back into the wall. Great work Jim and good job Morgan’s again for allowing Jim to do quality work. 👍👍

I think I heard it was bread that plumber Jim gave Eva before her operation. Friendships grow healthy w the Morgans, good people just naturally draw good people. I'm sitting here trying to picture the future build down at the renewable resources area that will house the sawmill, the dryer, the implements and dry wood for sale. So much to look forward to! Nice 25 minute video today, very interesting! Thanks Mike!👍🚜❤

    I’m glad Alice Cooper has found a new gig as a plumber in his later years! I do enjoy plumber Jim and hope he has a sense of humor. I’d hire him if he were in my area 👍🏽
