It said it was 70' tall and taking up 1 acre.
Its very close to the size Wethersfield pile was, their material looks to be a little chunkier than ours was. envirocycle h had to come in and regrind our pile.they said it was the only way to put out the fire.

News says 70 feet, but the news has a tendency to exaggerate. I know exactly where it is been back there 1,000 times and it's at minimum 40 feet tall going by pictures. I'll actually drop in there tomorrow afternoon and see what I can see.
They don't call the guy "Crazy Louie" for nothing though.

Andy, it is a real nice spot we were at! We got the scaffold and everything setup, another crew is going to tear down the chimney, and then we are going to build it. The chimney is huge! It's 14' x 3', we are going to be rebuilding 34 courses.

And on a note on that fire I called my father yesterday on an unrelated matter and that fire came up and he said he could see the smoke from where we're working over by Lake Beseck.

So the "to be" was looking at some wedding magazines that a friend gave her, and found an article about "departing the wedding". There were all kinds of ways people had used, but one that caught her eye was an old(early 60's) Ford F-100 that was very nicely restored. They had put some hay in the bed, and the couple was sitting on the hay while someone drove. She told me that I needed to find somebody that had a really nice old restored truck or car(I said it had to be Ford) that we could rent for the occasion. I thought I would throw in there that we could just finish my truck up with some body work and a professional paint job, and maybe have the interior cleaned up(reupholster the original bench seat, and new flooring) She said.........maybe. She doesn't like that it seems like I am always having to fix something on it. I informed her that it is old and things need fixing when they get old. I'm not holding my breath, but I am sure keeping my fingers crossed...though I don't think my truck would make for real good pictures.

It would if I was able to get a real good paint job done, and then some new chrome caps for the wheels, and maybe some new locking hubs as well. Oh, and a new rear bumper, or just paint the two I have. Oh, oh, and probably have bed-liner put in.
Haha, Pete, yeah. It's getting to a point where I am not too sure what Ray doesn't have in regards to Ford trucks. I told her I wasn't even going to ask him.
