This was my first time back in since the last wind event, most of my time was spent clearing branches from the trails. Before I headed back in we put two loads of hardwood in, pic 0087 (11 this morning). Picture 0088,0090 is a damaged ash in what we call the bowl, pic 0091 & 0092 is a small damaged beech up in the bowl and the last two pics are coming out of the bowl.
I didn't get it yet but thanks Woodsnwoods , pretty dang quiet up here for this time of year. My plans for firewood this spring are for about 10-12 face, that should keep us just over three years ahead. I see your firewood inventory is coming along pretty good. Thanks Well Seasoned but we have more tree damage compared to what I put up, usually it's the Hemlocks that get hit hard. Same here buZZsaw BRAD , the ash will be some nice firewood but the beech in the picture might be rotten.
This was a wind damaged ash up in the bowl, all the rounds are back home and ready for splitting. Pic 0096 is where I cut it away from the stump, 0097 is the first section I cut that rolled down the hill, 0098 ended up being 0099 after I pulled it down the hill and the rest are the two loads I brought home.
Thanks Well Seasoned , we'll add this to the inventory. buZZsaw BRAD , not much of the wind damaged trees that come down are on flatland but then again they call this area the foothills. I'll be starting up the felling of a bunch of Ash on the backhill, that will give the old knees a workout.
Yes they are woods. Leave work go to sil/bil house to take them whatever? They havent left the house in a month. Fun Times!
I'm hoping I can get the splitter out and split the ash and sugar maple tomorrow, I'll throw some stacking in there too. Hopefully this week I can start felling more ash on the backhill behind the house. Last year I started with some of the smaller ash but this year it will be some of our bigger ash. I would like 8 - 10 face cord this spring, I have two face stacked in the area I want filled which the 8-10 face will do, that will leave one area open that will hold 14 face.
We have a total of 23, 5 of those were on Potsdam College (State School) I think 4 of the college kids a quarantined on campus and the 5th is at is parents house, the rest in our county are at home quarantined.
My wife wants the recipe for that cookie! If I don't get it I'm a dead man! I showed her the picture!
