I finally got out to cut a bit of wood. Mostly cleaning up some oak along driveway. I didn't cut a lot but enough so that I now know where every muscle and joint is in my body. Surprising that it did not bother my neck a lot but it surely did my back.
Looks like a great day there. Miserable drizzly day here. I refuse to go to the woodlot and get soaked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Cold here. You wouldn't have moved far from the wood stove today! Nice day there to get some bonus work doine!
Beautiful day here Dennis & I worked at wood as well as tweaking my back. I just got out of a lengthy hot Epsom salts bath & im feeling a bit better. Hope your back pain is short lived as well sir.
Yep, I didn't last as long in the woods as I planned but I did make another run before I first was tempted to go home! Glad I did, found some more dead standing.
Nice here, too. Dug for some potatoes that I grew earlier in the year and didn't even find a tiny one. Cleaned out gutters yesterday. I should do leaves before it rains, but sometimes when it rains it also blows and with a little luck they'll all blow away.
I feel your pain. Been a rough year (in a lot of ways) and I'm moving a lot slower so everything is behind schedule. I finally moved the last two and a half cords of seasoned splits into the shed today that I wanted in there before the heavy snow shows up. Took twelve trailer loads and about six and a half hours. I'm sure by later this evening I'll be in a boatload of pain but it had to get done. The splits in the shed have been drying for 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 years (no oak). I like being able to access the shed from front and back so I don't have to worry about rotating the old stock at the end of the burning season. There are seven cords in the shed so it should last. I've already burned about 3/4 cord, the average I use is 4-5 cord, and the most I ever used was just over seven cords.
Although my neck took it fairly well, it is terrible now. Thought I might cut more today but with 45 mph wind, I'll probably wait.
It looks like you had a nice day for cutting wood, it has been wet around here lately so not much going on.
