It may have been done in the past, but I think not. I readily acknowledge that finding a donation of seasoned wood late in the season is not likely. I think a lot of green wood is carted to the land fill. Of course it would not be cut and neatly trimmed, but it may be available for the asking. In my experience the museum has always had a supply of junk wood that was cut up on site to be used in the boiler. Most of it was obtained on the property or from neighbors. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A'>If it comes to buying wood, we need to keep in mind a supply that can season on site for future use.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A'>My 2 cents worth.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A'>fred<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Thursday [mailto:thursday-bounces@newsm.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>KENDALL ADAMS<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, August 20, 2017 18:03<br><b>To:</b> thursday@newsm.org<br><b>Subject:</b> [Thursday] Steam-Up Prep Update<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p><p>Boiler Wood - As per Georges E-Mail of yesterday he has received a quote for one cord, seasoned, from an individual he knows for $225.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Warwick Tree Service has also quoted a price of $225.
