Saturday cut and split a cord and took home half. Stacked a little before it got too dark. Cut and split another cord this morning and took home half might get some stacking done depending on how interesting the pats/bills game is
Nice work Bill. Good luck with the game. I may watch one today as the Lions and Packers square off. Both are at 11-4 so the winner should have bragging rights. The Lions won their first game at Detroit but this one is in Green Bay. It should be cold there today.
Basically split a three cord log load with a friend. We each get half. Splitting goes a lot faster, especially with a splitter that only does horizontal and tossing them up into small dump truck. I've been hoping to get a three or 7 cord log load dropped off at my house but they had a few equipment failures and the guy hauling out that owns the land had an operation. He's feeling pretty good and he's supposed to try using the tractor/grapple trailer this week on another property that isn't so rough.
Nice - hope you get the log load - I've been looking here and no one has any for at least 6 months! Cheers!
end of 15/16 is the earmark although a mild Winter this Winter would get it to 16/17 although it could be burned now. I find A center cut split from a large round will still have a high moisture content, I've seen 27/28% with a MM, but you can tell by weight - it's like picking up a gold bar mixed in with Zamak - you just know it isn't going to burn, so I like to let it rest for a year. It dries out pretty quick. If I had to burn it now I would just put the heavy ones to the side DS =dead standing Friend I was cutting with only had a week or two of wood left.
I like your situation better, at least yours goes thru a full summer of drying. Your friend's won't dry much in a week or 2. Good some of it is fairly dry "You burn what you got, seasoned or not" Remind him to clean / inspect the chimney monthly
