Boy I hate this time of year!!!

Yo know we work/play so hard to cut and split all them pieces of wood, and we just burn them suckers
Am I the only one that hates to see the nice stack with those gaping holes???

Better the holes in the stacks, than in my wallet paying for heat

Nope . . . I've got plenty more . . . and as Beer Belly said . . . every time I load up my stove and take from the stacks I figure that is less oil I'm paying for.

Interesting way to look at it. I feel that way a little, but it just inspires me to cut more wood.

By November 15th we will have burned two cord (not face) of Pine I rescued from the floor of the woods, never been so happy about burning up the supply.

Hmm, I think I'm the opposite. I have rounds waiting to be split and stacked for 2014/15. I'll be starting a new stack, but the more I burn the less new stacks I have to build.

I have a solution for you. When you do your stacking, put all your lighter species, odd chunks & ugly stuff on top & bury the good stuff beneath it. You won't be able to burn through the junk fast enough!

+1
Seeing the stack shrink means money in my pocket (tax free money by the way)
Also it means I have room to put more wood in the wood shed.
Which means I now have an empty row of pallets out back, that needs some wood to start seasoning.

Some of us are nuts & like cutting splitting & stacking wood.
Making room for more makes us smile LOL . Yea, we're nuts

What are you talking about, my butt is sore from sitting and splitting last night until dark. Wood getting is continuous and wood burning is about 9 months of the year. It's a flow.

This is how it goes for me: If I am really good and get my chores done, I can go out and cut firewood!

Sean, you love it and you know it. Look at your signature. All those cool tools. My father and brother and I were talking the other day about putting in a new culvert on the family property. She , my wife, said she was jelous about us men. Being able to go back there and me using my tractor to dig a ditch with that hydraulic thingy, and put the culvert in. You men get to have all the fun. She said. I get to do the dishes. I did not say one word. I was not about to bite and then get into a conversation about her wanting to run my tractor. Not going to happen. I looked at my brother and father and we started talking about the weather.

I do agree!
