Merry Christmas everyone.


My long time friend Eric is organizing an emergency fund to help get down to North Carolina to cut and split a bunch of firewood for those still living in tents this Christmas after the hurricane flooding. Im sending a trailer load of logs down and will try to join him myself if work will let me.

If anyone has a couple bucks to spare and wishes to help, please do.

God bless and Merry Christmas
 
I recently came back from doing storm restoration for AT&T in the Carolinas and Georgia. There is still a "HUGE" amount of downed trees that need to be taken care of. This debris is sitting on the sides of the roads and on peoples property. The debris haulers are overwhelmed trying to get it taken away. If someone had the ability to move the pine and stack it, there would be a ton of firewood to be split and used as firewood. When my crews were cutting and moving debris to hang the telephone cables, some of the homeowners said they would pay us to cut the downed trees into to lengths that could be handle, rather than the 15 to 20 foot long logs.
 
God bless all those helping hands. They really still need help. In Tennessee just on the other side of the mountain still needs help also. Thanks, everybody.

Yeah plan is to haul his firewood processor down there and set up to cut whatever they can find. He can process with that thing a huge stack in matter of a couple hours.
 
Do you know where in NC that you will be? I live 12 miles from Swannanoa, which was pretty much ground zero for the storm. It's a fairly short drive over to Burnsville/Spruce Pine area that was also hit hard. Another short but very nice drive over to Erwin, TN that @LO23M8B mentioned also. Your help is much appreciated.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'll call a friend of mine who lives there and if he can provide you with wood to bust, I'll hook you 2 up. He does tree work and has been working nonstop since the storm. There is no shortage of downed wood in that area, for sure. His church has been doing a lot for local victims, even though the church itself sustained some flood damage since it's in Beacon Village.
