He might move it elsewhere in the room, but will likely keep it going, as it was recommended by his doctor.

Chestnut Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 There is a whole stand of some 2,000 chestnut trees in Wi. Some day i'd love to go find them in the spring. I also saw some guy on CL trying to sell some fresh milled chestnut. I need to call him and inquire about the prices i'm sure it's going to be $$$$$.

I've never seen it on CL around here anyway, there are 4 trees where i was at today, if they ever go down or die for some reason i'll do my best to get them and have @Spanky dry them and mill them up for me.
