I new that would get a few of you CORD guys goin!

Just doing some hand splitting. Bought 1/3 of a cord from an Amish guy I met. Needed splitting, but one smack from the maul and quick work is done.

Good find and probably at a decent price. That stuff does split really nice. Drys fast too.

Looks good, Gassy....I did a PILE of hand splitting last weekend up at scout camp (around 1 1/2-2 cord MYSELF), on top of cutting the benches we made with the saw......

FWIW, I'm still sore! But I love it!!

Dennis: Ash is a great wood to burn. I was just driving by and decided to stop and talk to him. He seemed like a good man. Young guy, 32, with four kids already and wife had another on the way the last time I talked to him. (About a week and a half ago, she was do anytime.) I also made a new connection to Maple Syrup! Bought a Quart from him with the first face cord I bought. Yesterday I stopped and bought this second face cord from him and she had a new girl in the house. Everything went perfect. He said easiest one she had, only 7.5 lbs. Others were over 9 and close to 10! When I was there before I had asked him where he would take her when it was time. No where, we stay right here at home. (I wouldn't be doin dat myself, but to each his own.)

Scotty: 1 1/2 to 2 cord yourself is quite a workout. Those muscles must be sore. I usually split about 1/3 of a cord at a time. Then do some another day. Or I block up a good size pile of 3 or 4 cord and then rent a splitter. Hydraulics are nice. But one day I'm going to have Zap helicopter his whole processor down to me some day when I have about 10 cord piled up. He has one that folds all up into a nice size container and then he can move it wherever he wants. That guy has all the nice toys.

Added to the nice stacks in the background, you're staying ahead.
Never to much firewood

Yup, that is true Dave. Now I just have to move this stuff to a crib and get it out of the way. Things are muddy in the yard so I decided to drop it where the ground was more dry. I will use the double wheeled wheelbarrow to move it to one of the cribs behind the detached garage. They are almost all full. A comforting sign. Almost all of next years wood done. I think I will build another crib to hold 3 cord and start working on filling that. Never know when we might get a really cold winter again.
