    Been staying busy out in the yard. From picking up ibc totes and building pallet racks, working down the log pile from my free marketplace and tree service loads, and cutting where I can on my property. Most of where my best ash is down is completely flooded right now, just doing what I can until I can get back there, probably be some time this summer when it dries up. Changed my wagon hitch from a pin style to a ball receiver so I can leave the drawbar on the tractor for moving the splitter around too. Rainy day the other day did some garage clean up, put some hangers on the wall for the saws, trimmer and backpack blower. Still have a ton more to do.

    That's how you do it, one cord at a time... pretty soon you'll be over 3 years, and gaining steam...seems to be an epidemic around here...:whistle: :thumbs:

    You sure have got a lot done. Love the wood stacks and totes.

    How many cords will you have when the three year plan is reached?
