The march to new firewood heights

Have 5 different piles I’m in the process of building at the moment. I don’t like to do that but it happened due to how/where logs got dropped off and the species. This new oak pile is around 6 cords worth. The new mixed pile is only about 1.5 cords so far. Starting to feel less overwhelmed now that I’m making progress on getting logs out of the way.

 

You keep going you are going to need a full time pile coordinator!

 

I have some experience, but im not working for firewood!

 

I know the feeling. Lots of times its the "do i go hoarding or do i process wood" stress

 

For me it’s like, shoot where am I going to tell them to drop the next load of logs

 

Another day and another truck load in.

 

Got that load cut up today, minus one 40” diameter poplar log which I just moved to the mix pile.

 

That’s a heck of a load! Wonder what that one weighs

 

Rougly 2.5 cords of mostly green oak...my guess would be around 14,000 pounds. When the truck is packed tight, it yields right around 3 cords.

 

Wow, brother, you are really working it out. Glad you are having decent weather before it gets hot.

 

You should be able to supply half of Jersey this year. Looking good up there.

 

Not as much as your last load!

 

I have cut and or split 6 out of the last 7 days. I’m 50% Irish but on 3/17, I am 100%. Taking the day off. Rain Thursday and into Friday.

 

If you decide to split, work on only green wood!

 

Haha nice one!

 

Came across a few of these this afternoon...my firewood nemesis

 

Looks like ash...lol...thats what would be said on a certain FB group...

Haha. So true! I should post it there for fun. But yes, it’s gum...miserable crap!
