    Soft in the middle is ok. At splitting time you can go around it and keep what is good. Questionable stuff can be firepit wood

    Pretty much means a quick change to the plans, so to drop off the first load fast and then head right back for what's in the pictures? Did ya get it before someone else did? Hope so.

    Yeah, silver maple is decent wood. It's definitely worth the little bit of work to re scrounge those pieces.

    Nice score! Every load counts... and you kick out the soft centers to fire ring duties...

    You've got to have a big pile of round , enough for a year or 2 ?

    When do you split & stack with the heat ,
    Not gonna be cool till Nov ? You must be pretty acclimated to the heat..
    Drink lots of water !

    Maybe you need to cut a couple of those trees in the second photo. Wait! Those aren't trees, they hold up power lines.... :bug:
