One cord per week.... So far so good....

[lowroadacres]

In my recent posts I have stated that we are aiming at 1 cord per week c/s/s. This will require that on some weeks I go crazy with all hands on deck to make up for weeks like the next two where I am away for work excepting 2 days.

In the spirit of "no pictures=didn't happen" please note the following pictorial

As well, to my chagrin and to my long term health's benefit... ie/Good exercise.... These two plus cords came in with no help from the young'uns, split at first with the 6 pound maul til the handle gave out then I bumped up to the fiberglass handled 8 pounder. Which, for the record I really dislike fibreglass handles as too much of the weight ends up being in the handle.

I can hardly believe that I once owned a sotz monster maul and claimed to enjoy using it.

The four stacks on the left were done over the past 13 days. Last night was the toughest as I split almost a half a cord in 90 degree heat, high humidity and mosquitoes. But give that I said that I was going to do it.... I had to get it done!

Great work, you've been busting your arse.

Wow, really impressed how you guys are able to keep up the cutting and splitting in this heat, bunch of madmen on this site for sure :-O

You have really been busy! I'd hate to be doing that in the type of weather we've been having. It makes me appreciate even more that I do the wood cutting in the winter months.

Nice work. I like doing this kind of work in the warmer weather, but maybe not this warm. I split a bunch of white oak this weekend in 86 degree weather. One thing is for sure, you will be warm when you need to be.
