70% Ash, 20% Elm and 10% Oak, split

I split all this the last 3 day for about 6-7 hours a day. I cut it a few weeks ago. A couple of more days of spliting and I should be done for a few years. Now i have to truck all this wood to my house, 25 miles each way. If the ground ever freezes or when it drys out, thats when I will bring it home.

This is the Elm that is left.

I don't know how many cords yet, once I get it home and stack it. Most of the logs were bucked at 20-22" long and split big. I have a Lopi Liberty and I like to burn big long logs.

The fresh chips just out of site in the picture ( good friend in tree service) brings me the wood and chips as needed. Some of the stringy stuff is from noddling the big rounds in half.

Yes, green grass We have not had major cold or snow yet. Maybe an 1/2" OF snow so far this year. Im miss the OT from no snow but i don't miss the getting up every hour or so to look out the window to see how much and when to call everyone out for snow removal. I work at the local school dist. as the grounds maint. supervisor and i make the call outs for snow.

"I also note that you split your wood the right way; vertically." thats the only way I split wood. I almost finished today, just one load of Elm left.

I think spliting is easyer the stacking. I have alot of stacking to do. I trade wood for help loading and stacking, deal?

Well I am DONE. It's all at home and stacked. My neighbors lets me stack on his side so he can have a wood fence. The house you see in the pictures is NOT my mine. My house is to the left and down the hill, it's my garden though.

A couple more pictures

I know resize, I need to learn how to resize the pictures,

As you can see, I do have alittle ways to bring the wood down the hill

6 loads with my buudys dump truck, (Ford 450, 8 ft box, side from the top of cab shield to even with tail gate) and $100 of fuel and 3 loads with my dads pick-up and trailer. I know for sure when I was selling wood,( many years ago) I could put a cord in the trailer, pick-up combo. As for the dump, I would say it was real close to a cord at a time. I loaded it all with our tractor bucket (an old ford 350 ) and if I pack 2 buckets full it just about a 1/3 or one face cord. But we did not pack the buckets just filled and dumped. Frank

I know, learn how to resize, sorry everyone
