On Friday we finally got the box elder load from a couple weekends ago split and stacked. To my surprise the ole' lady came out and said she wanted to help out for a couple hours. Great! In less than 5 minutes I had the splitter set up to split vertically and right next to the trailer ramp. She could roll the rounds right off the trailer and split them and I could wheel barrow the splits and stack them. Saved me half the time! So of course I can't have an empty trailer sitting around. Saturday morning I went and picked up a full trailer load of willow rounds that was only 15 miles from home. Saturday afternoon I split it all with the hydraulic, still have to stack it. Saturday night I get a call from a lady where I had left a message about some mulberry that is already cut into rounds. She said I could come and pick this up anytime, the sooner the better. I said how about Sunday morning, so I'm heading off in a few minutes to pick that up. The mulberry should be my finest score yet!
Here are some action shots of the wife helping - she is a great hard worker, our kids - that we can't get away from the heat of the stove, and the willow before I split it.
