Big Splitting Day Tomorrow

[lukem]

Going to try to make it a 4 cord day and finish up what is in my avatar. Split about a cord this evening with the maul for some exercise, but I'm breaking out the hydros tomorrow.

I will probably be sore and tired, but it will be a lot of fun. Now I just need to figure out where to stack it all...I don't plan on moving it again until 2016....so it had better be right.

EDIT: just looked at the avatar pic and it has been added to a couple times. I don't remember having green grass either....been a bit dry around these parts.

Whew, four cord is a lot of wood but if you split a cord by hand just to warm up, I don't doubt that you can get it done. :gulp:

I plan to put up a couple clothes line poles. Then drop a small Ash for my neighbor and buck a Sugar Maple log that's too big for his saw. After that, back home to split Red Pine, some of it down to kindling size and leaving some bigger for outside burning. Nowhere near four cords, though! :lol:

Lukem - good luck with that tomorrow! Four cords would be almost a full winter for me here in Virginia. And not planning to move it until 2016 - that's great that you're that far ahead! I'm sure you'll be wore out tomorrow evening but also very satisfied!

Luke enjoy the work.. It's great to spend the day outside creating your own heat source.. Gives a feeling of satisfaction that's hard to describe.. People that haven't done it don't understand what that is like.. I tend to get most of mine c/s/d and it's just not the same but still OK.. I want to get a triaxle load here but the wife thinks it would be a big mess and she worries that I will mess up my back.. She is probably right but I'd be willing to take that chance..

My wife's out of the country right now, so I've got 3 cords of 4 foot logs being delivered today for a bit of fun and exercise. But I won't be trying to split them all today!

LOL I love a man with a plan! She won't even know that you did it! I wouldn't to do all my wood that way but I do enjoy creating some of my own firewood.. Enjoy the work!

You never said you had a crew of 4. You'll have that done in no time.

I love stacking and watching that row get longer.

 

[wood-fan-atic]

I LOVE EVERYTHING about wood heat - except cutting,hauling,splitting,stacking,fetching, and feeding. Other than that....its GREAT!

Still Sunny here....Hope it holds for the day.

Got about half of it done and it stopped being enjoyable...so I stopped. The pile lives another day.

Smart move Luke I tend to overdo it every time.. That's my downfall.. I stacked 4 cord in 1.5 days alone.. Just can't stop... Yeah I'm crazy!

I wasn't really tired yet, but it lost its luster after about 5 hours.

 

[Thistle]

Good time to quit.Even if you dont feel tired yet,the mind can wander & its easy to get distracted & then possibly injured.

wood -powered laptop? Where'd you find yours? Been looking for one for quite a while.Just the thing to burn up my pile of scrap from the jobsite 3 weeks ago.

 

[steeltowninwv]

yeah i manually split about 3/4 a cord this morning...and that was about right...i was ready to be done...
