Work Done in 2022

[heavy hammer]

Like most on here I spent last night till dark and finished this morning filling the garage back up cleaned out both stoves and have a full kindling barrel. I'll probably be working all weekend if the winds come through as bad as they are calling for. I have the wife set up to stay nice and warm all weekend even if we lose power. Hope everyone has a safe and fun Christmas. kennyp2339 I already responded but you boys out there stay safe and try not to freeze, maybe we will cross paths eventually one of these storms.

New here from Central Indiana. I definitely lack a wood shed, but do have a decent amount of wood set back from this year. Rows are about 7 1/2' H x 20' long. Hopefully I am able to keep up with the burning and have a far amount of this left for next year. Even have a small pile of rounds started to split when I get time. This is all 2022 work so far.

Thank you! Some of it is locust (thorn tree) from family's farm field fence rows. Rest is mostly dead ash, cherry, maple, and hickory. We have a small amount of oak in there from clearing a future pasture for sheep. Below is a pic of some of the locust.

We got hit and worked, things cleaned up pretty quick for what it was though, had this whole week off, going back Tuesday Jan 3rd, I feel very refreshed and ready to see what 2023 brings (every day is a day closer to retirement)
Spent yesterday poking around the wood pile, stack just over a full cord on pallets, then it got to warm to have the tractor on the grass / wood area, figured to myself that the pile I'm taking from has sat in a heap for 2 yrs, it can wait a few more weeks for the ground to firm up so I can finish it off. I did burn my fire pit off, lots a splitter waste and bark, was nice to have a fire going outside, getting fresh air and
relax a bit.

Made another top cover tarp, love these things, at first I though it was going to fall apart, turns out even after 50mph gusts, everything held, even the cheap grommets

The trails were hard enough that I used the tractor to clean out the fireplace and then moved some snow from different areas of the driveway.

Picture 0473 is the fireplace that needed some cleaning, 0474 is the forks I used just incase there was any ice in the snow in the fireplace, 0475 is the right side of the fireplace cleaned out, 0476 is some snow off the driveway I moved , 0477,0479 are some pictures moving the snow, 0480 is all the snow from the area 0476 before and 0481 after.

Nice work Kenny! I'm ready for 2023, back to normal life. The time off and holidays were a lot of fun other than a few unexpected days of work here and there but that is life.
