From 1977 through 1982 Tim was a Union
Carpenter. He was laid off November of 1982. Soon after that a fellow
carpenter contacted him to cut down a very large eucalyptus tree on his
property. When the job was completed, Tim asked, "How do I get paid?"
and the fellow carpenter replied, "Tim, open up a firewood business and
sell these logs." Tim took his advice without a second thought,
opened up a firewood business under the name "Tim's Firewood" for 25 years. In 2007 Tim's business name changed to include his family, now known as "T & C and Son Firewood". And so that's how his firewood business began.
