I love getting firewood. This 44 year old comes alive when hitting the woods.

The only firewood I will touch today is what is going into the stoves!
I ache all OVER!! I managed to haul some riders on the bus, but the arms and legs are mad at me! (short drivers again)
I did move one wheel barrow load of small locust to the porch as some 'hair-of-the-dog'.
It's sort of like taking a shot of whiskey to get rid of a hangover.

Been working up a medium sized Red oak that has been dead for a couple of years, about 22" at the base hasn't been too bad. I'll need a splitter for some of it though. I don't get in a big rush and try to keep it it at under 1/2 a cord per weekend so I don't get just plain tore up.

Well, we are getting ready for next year. Messed about outside all day and split a couple of cords. Thought I'd stack it like this and see how that will work. It's pretty stable and hopefully it will be bone dry in the fall.
It's call a Holz Hausen, ( wood house) I built mine 7' in diameter, and 7'high which yields about 2 cords of wood. Traditionally they were 10' in diameter, and 10' high and took about 6 cords of wood to build.... would be enough for a typical winters worth of heat.

I used about 3 cords and less than 200# propane. With the help of my friend Jack's 'bounty', I have a cord left.
We're gonna cut all spring, so we will be ready when winter returns.
We still have not worked our way into the area that started it all.
