The only firewood work I've done is put in a neighbor's firewood for them this week. Today was the start of fall cleanup inside the house, more will be done soon.

No firewood work has been getting done but we did do a fall cleaning of the house, walls, baseboards, behind the fridge, windows, dusting and vacuuming , floors and the porch. I was on a ladder while cleaning the walls and windows so the knees & my feet are barking at me.
I also raked up about 14 loads of leaves with some pine needles all week long from the backyard.

Not much firewood work done here, either. Beginning of the week, I brought home a smallish load of white oak. Two bigger dia of about 12-14'' and 7-8' long pieces. Then a bunch of dead limb wood. again all about 8' long and averaged to 5'' dia. I kept the limb wood separate as I split and piled them up. Some of the bark was gone on the limbs and, It should be thoroughly dry Feb. That's with the aid of my heated and well circulated basement at full performance.
Had a forest fire behind the house last month, the fire crew widened what we call Phazer trail (Yamaha). All sorts of little trees buzzed and tossed to the side. I just can't unsee them and let them be...

I'll probably do a few less next load, was a touch sketchy in one spot on the way home. Nice to have some Larch/Tamarack although I find it almost identical to Douglas Fir.

The next two mornings we might have frost so I made a shoulder season fire earlier, I'm heading down so I can start another.
No firewood work done last 2 days. Yesterday's site the HO hept the wood....dang it. Was black locust and ash.
Today's job was with a different company. He keeps the wood himself. Sometimes I get lucky with a load of dead limbs from him. Couple years back I scored standing dead sugar maple. I got the top of the tree and he kept the base. The limbs were ready burn, crispy dry. I wish I could get a score like that now.
