My earliest ancestors come through the Isle of Shoals in 1632, and most recent was my great grandmother, orphaned at 15. Her uncle in Ohio sent a ticket. She hiked 2 days and got on a boat in Hamburg, crossed over alone arriving at Ellis Island 1894. Fleas & lice bit as hard as the hunger she said

So everyone forgets, including the user? Or would you have to pay extra for that option? And how many times can one use it? Could you use it on someone else?

We had a brush and I remember having to do that from time to time. Creosote was a big hazard. I would also climb up on roofs during the winter and shovel the snow off of seasonal homes. I think I would do it for like $10 depending

I would come home from school and find it dumped the length of the driveway. A neighbor had a permit to cut on state land and it was mostly varieties of oak, maple and ash. Ash was my favorite because it was easiest to split, the oak was usually knotty and I'd have to use a wedge.

I remember as a teenager growing up in northern Michigan in the early eighties we would get seven or eight cords about this time of year or a little earlier. I had to do the splitting with a mull, and then stack it in the back yard under an open shed. Fun times.
