Only went shopping for some bread and milk......

[woodchip]

But popped into the council wood yard opposite the shop, and picked this lot up............

Problem is it's going to be about 90f and over 80% humidity this weekend, it's already 75% now and rather warm..

Do I sweat it out and split all the rounds, or leave it a couple of weeks till it's a bit cooler.

Mix of cherry, sycamore, willow, birch, bit of pine, and a couple of huge oak rounds.

Part of me says split early with the sledge and wedge, have a wash, and sit back with a beer.

Part of me says let the wood sit there whilst I have a beer.

What would you all do?

work ain't gone a kill ya...................just do it

 

[glennm]

I will have a beer and let you know what I think!

Over 32° In England?! Is that without the humidity? Things have changed.
I'd probably do the processing in the early morning or evening. But you're going to feel it regardless of the temps with humidity at over 70% Like breathing through a straw.

Nice score, BTW. A mixed bag is a good treat. All 6's & 9's?

I'd work on it early for a bit, then relax. Next day, do it again, etc. 'til you're done.
Unless you can get it all done in one morning.

My splitter won't run if it is over 80F. But my beer fridge does.

You in a hurry? I find splitting to be a cool/cold weather sport.

 

[onetracker]

+1 jags -

i'll break out the splitter and mauls when the daytime temps are 70's and below. um...what's that in centigrade?

 

[etiger2007]

Just split it, the beer will taste better after alittle hard work.

 

[bogydave]

I have a few rounds sitting buy the stacks.
They'll get done well before the snow flies & won't get burned for 2 year. No rush.

When the urge to split hits you, you'll have some to work on.
Just get it done before winter unless you need it this burn season (then the sooner the better)

 

[Billybonfire]

Where's Broadstone ?, must be down south, heavy rain here for the past 2 days
given sunshine for tomorrow though
I would get it CSS soon as possible (when its not raining).

Nice score.

That wood won't be in any harm by letting it sit for a while. Split when it cools down; drink when it is hot.

 

[Woody Stover]

Doesn't look like all that much. Maybe an hour...two at the most. Git 'er done!

 

[ScotO]

As they say here in Redneckville, PA......GIT-R-DONE! Like Woody said, not that much wood there. Have yerself more than 'A' beer, heck have 6 or 12 or 'em when you finish! BTW, nothing like heading out for 'her', and cashing in for 'you' whilst doing it!

 

[Thistle]

Nice assortment there. Always like having a mix of species.Split it early some morning before it gets too hot,the beer will taste even better that afternoon.

 

[Shadow&Flame]

I would split it when I had time and felt like it....and I figure you will do the same... Nice scrounge...
