    Been looking for a place to park this years harvest from my family’s 35 acres. I won’t be able to get it all, but I keep focused on the biggest and deadest. Did most of the cutting in march and just been waiting for things to dry out.

    Sweet! There is not much ash left and those look to still be solid. That should still be great firewood 10 years from now, if you keep it that long..

    Ash has become my new favorite to CSS. Plus it dries really quickly.

    Nice and having a building to store the wood in is definitely a bonus

    Nice stuff there. Decent dead ones are getting scarce around here.

    Stored indoors those rounds should last many years. Smart move on your part utilizing the unused buildings.

    Back at it on Sunday. Got the shed filled as high as I dare and put a bunch on pallets with a top cover. 18 loads over two days and got every round up out of the woods. The road is well bedded in now, only one part that requires 4 wheel drive. Finishing the last load, the heat and bugs reminded me why all my wood ops happen in the colder months.
