    Don’t even think about approaching my stacks-my looks are deceiving...Trust me, you feel lucky? 844BE206-273B-4393-9414-CC4B64296F11.jpeg 3E2D202C-FC22-43BB-866B-5D1B4208F5F7.jpeg F7C026DD-C9AF-4896-9C21-F19F92EFC0F6.jpeg

    Nice stacks! Feels good to get a little more done in the middle of winter... :yes:

    64 degrees! :) I have some oak cut, just need to get after the splitting and stacking.. Just still too wet.

    Yeah cleaning up bark sucks, especially a 60ft standing dead elm’s worth

    I always have a bark pile going. Once it is large enough I will shove all it into the loader on my tractor, dump it in the bed of my truck and then off to the compost in town to get rid of.
    Nice looking area you have there and some great wood stacks. They look like they would get plenty of air up off the ground like you have.
