Made it to the break point, now have enough for 17/18 stacked. (6-1/2 cord) The rest will be a buffer (about 3/4 cord left to split & stack ) (not counting the misfits, uglies & punkies pile ) Sunrise over the mountains this am. cloudy 28°. Getting set up & splitter warmed up : Ready to stack for a while: Stacked & capped : Need a few more 1/2 splits for the cap. Warmed up to 34° Had some left over to start another row , (tomorrow): Stack:
It's not even fair - IF I could even get my stacks looking that good, they'd never have mountain ranges in the background!
Fantastic looking stacks dave Never get tired of the pics with mountains in the background. Sure is pretty
Thanks everyone. Checking on stove after a reload, & both stacks off the back deck : Smoke free: ,. <..........................................> hot fire : Seasoning slow today 31°, 10 - 15 mph wind:
Close to 64' now, about a cord left to split. Should be near 8 cords, counting the pile of uglies, misfits & punkies, when all said & done.
As occasionally happens, we were lower temperature than you this morning at 19, but our daytime high may end up higher than yours.
Longer sun & a better sun angle there. Be below 8 hours of sun in a few days, with very little solar heat.
Great looking stacks !! I would struggle to find the time and to have that much splits, your a hero !!
Only in October Some years it takes longer & I have to wait for Spring, (due to snow ) April/May to get back to the firewood area to get the last of the 7 - 8 cord. This year I was the first into a new opened area, cherry picking the trees I dropped. Wont' be like that next year. Was fun to be a wood snob though LOL
I miss those days, now it is whatever I can scrounge up. lots of yard oaks and maples that play havoc on chains
