Firewood Fun!

[Wood1Dennis]

Nothing like getting out in the woods on a nice cold winter day to work up some firewood. Thanks to the polar vortex, it was finally cold enough this winter to get into the frozen swamp with the tractor to get out some of the stuff I've been eyeing up.

Today I got to saw and split a nice pile of oak firewood to burn a couple of years from now, followed up by dragging out some elm and a nice big ash log that I will split and stack in spring.



If only my 'real' job were this much fun

Wunderbar! Good deal to get ahead on your firewood stock pile.

Looks like you have an awesome spot to stack and dry your wood.

Looks like your saw chain is a little slack!

I knew I was going to get some slack (pun intended) for that.....

I love splitting by hand especially when it is cold. However, most of the stuff I drag out to the piles will get spit with the splitter. The elm will for sure.

I also love splitting by hand. It's just that my body doesn't appreciate it anymore.

There is a lot of Wisconsin going on in those pictures. First thing I did is look up your location. 6th sense. Lot of guys have been waiting for some cold to be able to get out on the low ground.
