[Lewiston]

Now that's moving. Nicely done!

 

[Blue2ndaries]

That's a lot of work, great job! What kinda wood?

 

[remkel]

Almost the whole grapple load was maple. A couple of small pine logs.

The crew worked their a--es off! Have a great photo of everyone sitting on the pile, but like I said, darn iPad will not allow me to post it.

sounds like a good day, you guys must've been clicking like clockwork. I love it when a plan comes together and you can get lots done in a day. Plan on using it this winter? Maple and pine, if the fall is dry, should dry out nicely.....

I know people will say otherwise, but the rounds were cut several months ago and have been sitting in the sun...a lot of them were really checked up and I think I could get into some of the wood this year if needed. Luckily, I already had about 4-5 cords stacked and drying. Looking forward to converting all of it into btus over the next couple of years!

Good work.

Get yourself a photobucket account, upload your pic there and then you can post from there. A bit of a pain, but worth it!

We can wait for pictures for a few hours
Stacked too?
Lots of work, & lots of BTUs.

One hell-of-a crew for sure.

Well, not certain if this will work, but here is a pic of the crew after the splitting party.

nice heap of wood, Rem! Looks like a good and able crew, everyone's smiling so it must have been a great time!

Very cool! The guys look tired, but also look like they are feeling good after some satisfying hard work.

Nothing like getting family together, even if it is for work. Next it is off to my father's house in January for his 7-10 cords. That includes wood for the syrup operation.

Here is another photo of the crew at work

Hey Remkel, just think what would happen if they split it right!! Vertical all the way saves a lot of work.

On the pictures, I used to have a photobucket account but got rid of it because they keep doing strange things. Sometimes I could not even find the picture that was there yesterday.

I will say that you can use the link they give you and use that in this forum and the picture will be here rather than having to go to the photobucket web page. I really like the new forum here though where we can just upload from our computer. Saves a lot of messing around. I've yet to have a picture too big but then, I usually shrink the pictures off our camera when I upload them.

No cases of beer?

I like it Rem. I do the same thing in the spring, I get my grapple load cheap and my buddy and I spend a week bucking and splitting 8 cords. After cabin fever it's a good 'get me out of the house and work' thing for me.

Being an EHS professional, I thought having people in shorts and without hearing protection enough sins for one post "Refreshments" were abundantly available for hydration purposes

Got the grapple load in February, but a series of back injuries prevented me from completing the task. Luckily I got quite a bit done in May for this year. The rest is just icing on the cake.

Rem, Are you burning already?

Only in the fire pit. Dropped down into the high fifties last night. The past few years it has been October 15 for the first fire. We shall see where things go is year. Still have to clean the flue and make certain everything is just right....set up the chairs in the basement for fire viewing, develop distractions for my wife and daughters so they do not realize I am missing while watching the fire, and stock up on goodies to snack on while I am down there. Luckily I have the iPad so I can etch a good movie by the fire light
