    Thats the way I like to do it too time and energy permitting. Stack the stuff after work when I need some alone time and silence. Nice old Ferd. got 1 of the same vintage as a wood hauler. Not sure about the level on the box side though.

    I like cutting and splitting firewood but I don’t want to handle it any more than I have to. Working smarter is definitely the way to go.
