In a few minutes I'll load the van with scrap steel and a pallet of firewood and head for the junk yard. I'll unload the steel there, and in the process come away with the weight of the loaded van. I had to weigh the van to get it registered, so with a little math I'll have the weight of a loaded pallet. I can carry a ton in the box trailer and maybe a bit more in the van, so with the weight info I'll be able to determine how many trips it'll take to get the wood down south. That and the cost of the new wood stove will determine if wood heat down south is a smart thing to do or not. If not, I think I can get $50/pallet for the wood here, and save myself a lot of wear and tear on the van. Or I could roll the dice and use the F250 to move the wood, and just be ready for a big towing bill if it conks out somewhere along the way.RNG, does this mean you are going to bring some firewood down with you at some point, or did you already haul some down? When do you hope to put your old place up for sale?
I set a deadline for myself to be out of the house by the end of the month. I'm pretty close, and this trip will almost reach it. I have feelers out for a decent realtor, if there is still such a person in today's market.
