More Work!

[thewoodlands]

We went up to re-post part of our property, I left the plywood backers for the posted signs in the garage :sick: a quick trip home to grab the plywood (the wife stayed in the woods) by the time I made it back the wife had found this beech, gotta love it.


The next picture is a leaner I showed Sav, a Sugar Maple which I plan on getting tomorrow, pic 4037 & 4038. Pictures 4039 & 4040 is a soft maple leaner the Sav noticed on his trip around the property, I hope to get that this weekend.

This is why I have OCD when it comes to cutting wood. All of ZAPS awesome pics and hard work.

Yes, only one of the leaners has a tree in it's path that I'll need to cut before felling the leaner.

This year I am burning Red oak blocks which I got from local mill. I split some of these and have about 2 cords worth. Seasoned 2 years. One cord of ash seasoned 18 mths. One cord of white oak seasoned for about 16 mths. I also have at least 2 cords of silver maple and yellow poplar to kinda keep things burning along. Next year should be my best year yet. Around 4 cords combined of red oak, white oak, beech, cherry and ash. Adding more soft woods to get me by early and late. I am getting there. Slowly but surely and enjoying every minute of it.

Yes, I have Monday off so I'll get another day of cutting in. Looks like we might have another system moving up the east coast for later next week, could be some heavy rains.

Sounds like you have a good mixture of wood ready to go. It's always nice to spend some time in the woods, even though the firewood is hard work the woods are very relaxing, especially when the saw is off an it's just you and nature.

You know what they say.....There is no rest for the wicked so you better keep at it looks like you got plenty to do... ;-) In all honesty i envy all the wood you have to cut its definitely awesome to have it at your disposal. I dont know how you keep up with it all.

I could not agree more zap. My wife and I own six acres. It is on my in-laws land. They have around 200 acres of which a good 75 is woods. Nothing better than a break on a stump with my dog and just leaving the world behind. Best mental therapy I can find for free!

 

[thewoodlands]

It's been a while since I really cut (been milling more this summer) so it feels good. Thanks certified, I learned you can't keep up just take the best of whats down or leaning. I'll be happy with three more cord.

After this weekend it looks like one day for cutting or cleaning up the woods around the house and one day for milling for the cabin we have planned.

Yup. Even the dog, a little yellow lab, seems to be more mellow in the woods. Of course, she's a drooling idiot when when she sees the saw getting loaded in the ATV and whines like you'd never believe until we get there...

 

[MICHAEL H]

Sounds to me Cascade like our dogs need to get together and go bowling. Sound like a perfect pair for a day in the woods!
