Wow, nice work! Super jealous of your view. I can see how you can spend hours out there "working"

 

[Auzzie Gumtree]

The one thing i am really jealous about from you guys is the wood is all the same / similar length. I don't cut my rounds, the arborist does, so mine are all over the place regards length which means untidy stacks.

Nice view - look at the long shadows what time of day is that? how many hours daylight do you get at the moment?

[Gasifier]

Yes. That view is an eye opener. Dave, as far as the wood splitting and stacking goes, you are a machine.

Waiting for the sun to warm it up a few degrees before going out & stacking it.
Must be getting getting smarter or lazy in old age

So, you must be done by now, eh?
I REALLY should have gone in the woods today. Couldn't bring myself to go out in the rain.

Pic 4 of the long stack is awesome!

 

[MarkinNC]

Very nice indeed. I am curious what that is you are placing below your pallets, some type of bug or moisture barrier?

Some landscape cloth.
Some is just old carpet to keep the weeds down.
