No Pride Scrounge

[SolarAndWood]

Been busy this year and haven't gotten a lot of scrounging in other than my 5 cord Black Oak score in August. So, saw this one come up Friday night for bucked 15 months ago, not split, stacked pine rounds and it sounded like at least a load. Worked out to be a full load and pretty dry already. Picked it up, split it and got it under a roof in 3 hours flat and about 7 bucks in gas. I know, no pride.

Good for you Solar. Soon you'll be getting those big snows off the lake and the area will be all white and not so easy to get some wood.

3 hours...
Impressive
For $7, a pretty big pile.
It's all BTUs

Nice timely job. That sunset pix is a good one, it sets off the end of a good day.

Impresive

Completely shameless !

That pile isn't all today. Brought home a full trailer which is about a cord depending on where you are on the round vs split volume debate. The sunset was spectacular other than when it occurred.

Great sunset Solar, looks like you get plenty of sun for your wood to season.

It was stellar here today Zap, hope it was as nice in the north country. That shed is on the windward side of the house so it gets both the sun and the wind. Howls pretty good on this ridge. Great for wood drying, not so good for the amount of wood needed to keep the house warm.

Only 5 cords of oak

What does pride ever have to do with this most honorable pursuit?

I could see you being satisfied with this score, to fend off freezing.

Nice scrounge there, I'd be proud of that lot ;-)

The problem with the Oak is the timing. Who knows when that will be dry even stacked while the pine will be ready to burn this winter. The lessers are pretty nice that way.
