    Nice. Hopefully the weather won't be too hot for your work on it.

    Supposed to be in the mid 60's til Friday then the heat rolls in. I can get that load cut up in 2/2.5 days. Usually I can get a log load C/S/S in 3 to 4 weeks.

    $650. It's a nice load. Mostly straight and not too big. I've gotten loads in the past that had a lot of wavy and big logs and theyre a bear to work. The majority of these I can just quarter. I do split on the big size though as I am 4-5 years out with 40+ cord in the bank.

    Coffee is on and Advil is in the system. Cut and split for about 6 hours yesterday. Gonna head out shortly and stack yesterday's work and cut up some more when I'm done stacking.

    That's a good deal, definitely worth $ 650.00.
