    My daughter and I spent a chunk of Saturday splitting but didn’t get to the stacking. I figured I’d get it done throughout the week. I typically subtract 10 inches from every snow forecast and figured I’d be fine. image000002.jpeg image000000.jpeg image000001.jpeg image000000.jpeg I was incorrect IMG_1818.jpeg We got about 10 inches and digging those splits out now isn’t going to be fun.

    It's nice having a "helper".

    The important part is that it is split & the splitter is in the garage.

    Those are some big rounds! It's nice to have a helper, good bonding time. The wood will still be there when the snow melts. That C10 with the utility bed looks pretty neat!

    Good looking splitter and even nicer pile of wood! Hopefully the snow won’t be around too long, so you can get it stacked. Pretty happy with the eastonmade?

    Mostly silver maple, ash, and a little hackberry.

    Very happy with it. I don’t use the box wedge often but it does come in handy on occasion. The log lift is definitely my favorite part of it.

    Thanks I love that old truck especially when it’s time to load rounds into it. The wife’s truck is too high for me. Probably should get a trailer at some point.

    Adorable lil helper you have, I can't bribe my 7 y.o. boy with enough donuts to help me with firewood, unless it's riding in the skid loader. I love the Eastonmade and box wedge!! Very nice pile of ash too!!! :yes:

    I can understand that! Used to be the first thing a truck would get is a lift kit and bigger tires. Now I keep them stock. The older I get the lower I want them! Modern trucks are getting too tall even stock.
