Well, given that you are so organised and on top of your wood, you could always come and help me split!

I'm behind with my splitting i have ~ 4 cord to split i was waiting to buy a splitter - hopefully next week. I hate seeing a 'mountain' of rounds that need splitting.

Gosh;
You think he'd at least help split it . LOL

I hope your Gum splits easier than the Sweetgum we have here, which has interlocking grain is an SOB to split. 'Split' isn't really the right word; It more tears and shreds.
