The pile is slowing growing for Spring splitting. 10 deep, around 4 cords. I have at least 2 cords of silver maple waiting on me but it's on a steep hill so I have to load it in my friends gator and haul it to the bottom to load in my truck. I should stop cutting but I just enjoy it, I'm already 5 years ahead at least.
Good for you Locust Post. 5 years ahead is sweet. You've done well this winter even with your physical problems.
Yes and I wondered for a while but didn't worry since I am ahead. 2 1/2 cord before the arm pain, 1 1/2 since it has felt some better. You know full well how it is, if you wake up and have pain you know you are still in this life.....
Nice job LP! Nice looking wood pile you got there.. If I had that oak, hickory and maple Just calling my name, I would grab it in heartbeat. We expect a big spread of splitting pics come spring...
Five years ahead could put a lot of minds at ease here at FHC, good for you!I hope someday to be in your position.
As I get farther ahead I know I'll need to do less cut and split. This has me kind of bummed, I love playing with the toys. The time with the family doing the split and stack is fun too. Whatever will we do.
I only have a barely a 1/4 acre here. I'll be stacking in the living room in a few years if I keep it up.
One thing this means is that you are in a better position to possibly help out some less fortunate person or persons!
I was just trying to find out about a couple at church that I have helped before but they were not there Sunday, probably because of the cold temps. I'll check with them but I haven't heard of anyone else in need at the moment, maybe because of the warm winter we've had.
Great work! Why not keep cutting if you enjoy it - you can always sell some if you want a little fun money. I'm right at 5 years ahead too and man it feels great! Cheers!
I just can't bring myself to sell wood, not really sure why it just doesn't feel right for some reason. I can bless someone with some but sell is another story.
Helps to think of pain as your friend.. think about it he always shows up after a good days work.. he's loyal visits often. reminds you of the dumb stuff you did as a kid.. better weather forecaster than a meteorologist and since I know your beliefs Locust Post reminds you of your reward in the future... if he just wasn't such a pain in the .#$_=÷..
