That is some nice wood! Something tells me you might be talking about face cord? 17 cord of wood is a lot!
Nope full cords. A lot of what I have is softwood trying to get ahead. As I'm just starting out I only wanted stuff that would dry fast. The load in the pic is mostly maple with some pine in there to.

I don't think I have ever been there befor.
It is a lot of work getting all that wood cut a split but it has to be done. This coming witer will be my first full year of burning. I don't have a clue how much wood I will burn so I'm just going all out. I want to be done befor its hot out.

I hear you there. We like to do all the cutting in the winter months. We start right after rifle deer season. Stack it up and then do the splitting in the spring. It seems to work well and then we're out of the woods before birds nest and deer drop the fawns. I really don't like working with the wood that much during the hot summer and really hate swatting all the bugs and skeeters.
Dont get me started on the bugs.!!
I dont have any place to cut down trees or I would. So we get them brought to us. I have a 100 acers by fremont but thats 90ish miles from the house and thats just to far to haul firewood. Its cheaper and faster to have the logs droped at the house. The other place is my lil hunting spot. Now if i can only get the deer to come around when I have time to hunt.

Hey, we see lots of folks who go north and come back with some huge loads! I once talked to a fellow in the UP. He was heading toward the Bridge and I asked. He was from the Detroit area!

I think you should have it covered with 17 cords.
I'll probably be getting wood all Summer but I'll be able to do something else on the really hot days...unlike last year.
