I Think I'm Ready..... (And A Great Wood Score)

[toddnic]

I have around 8 to 9 cords that have been cut, split, and stacked for between 1 to 3 years now. And, a neighbor just had a locust tree that was blown down in the hurricane, and a huge maple that he is taking down. Pics are of the overall woodpile and today's score. I think that my wife is ready to beat me in my wood gathering craze but, I must say that there is something therapeutic about getting a great wood score and beginning the process of C/S/S it.

Looks great. If you tell your wife you will sell her racing green MG (if that is what I saw in the garage), she will keep quiet for a while.

Well, the only problem is that the British Green MGB Roadster is mine too

I didn't see a garage picture or a green mg. Are you lurking around the place again, Jan?

Look again or get other glasses.

I saw it. Didn't load last time. Come to think of it, I probably need to schedule a visit to the optometrist. Thanks for the reminder!

Nice score. My wife was ready for me to quit my wood hoarding. I just remind her that she wont be complaining about it in the middle of January.

Looking good. Do you always leave stacks uncovered? I'm starting to wish I left all mine uncovered this past summer and just tarp around now or right before winter. Can't quite tell if it helps or hinders seasoning having the top tarped. The neighbor claims it holds moisture in, yet he tarps his stacks completely blocking any type of air flow...

I have some metal roofing that I had taken off that you don't see in the picture while I was processing the wood and reworking stacks. I normally cover the wood that I will be using for the current winter sometime in August or September.

It is completely therapeutic. We take things that are completely worthless in their current state, and through our own effort, create stacks of beauty and utility. And like a sand sculpture on a beach, that work of art is temporary.

That is one of the nicest things you can say to somebody (here, at least!)

I have no intention of getting "better"!

Referencing Star Trek in a wood cutting forum! Its great! I might as well go to bed, the day cannot get any better!

I don't mind using softwoods for impulse power.
