    It is good to finally start refilling the holes left by last winter's usage. The Swisher 22-ton split through the rounds nicely.

    And the new row's little brother...

    This ash is for 2015/16. A bit more (but not too much) to get the 3-year hoard back to a full 3-years' worth.

    Very nice! You wouldn't happen to have a craigslist add for firewood? I ask because that looks a lot like one on the list... ( I am not stalking ) :drunk:

    Oh, no ... I've never sold firewood. I do share it with my cutting partners though.

    Nice stacks - good looking splits

    what do you use for the cover - is it some type of rubber roofing?

    I'm always looking for new ideas for what to use to cover - ideally cheap or free

    Excellent job. Those are nice looking stacks, to bad you will eventually have to tear them down and burn'em up.

    Right where I want to be.
    Two full summers to dry should be gooder, eh?
    Nice stacks.
    I still don't have any Ash in the stacks.:(

    I was fortunate to get a couple ash trees this February. For a teaser I pulled out a medium sized split last night and I'm already down to 22% MC.

    Thanks, everyone.
    The top-cover is indeed rubber roofing. It lasts a long time.
    The first pic (new row) is 1.75 cords. The little stack just under 1 cord.
    I figure that 'cause a cord is 221,184 cubic inches. Weird, huh?
