    IMG_1341.JPG IMG_1345.JPG IMG_1347.JPG There really is no true start to a season when you sell firewood because it's all year long but 2 weekends ago is what I considered the official start. I currently have around 80 cords of logs on site with more to come. These pictures are from then but I now have about 10 cords cut and 7 cords split. Loving the new tw6.

    That is a lot of wood. I am glad that I only supply wood for one person.

    That's a lot of firewood...have you considered investing in a firewood processor? I would think it would it would save a lot of time (although it would be a significant investment)

    Looks like you've been very busy and lots of work to do yet.

    Too much money and most of what I get isn't processor type wood.

    Wish I could get my 12 year old to want to help. Don't get me wrong, he will help, it just takes some old fashion manipulation!

    Mine too. My oldest used to help all the time, but now she's 13 and into the electronic crap. I'd like to drop a piece of wood on the I- pad thing.

    IMG_1583.JPG IMG_1585.JPG IMG_1587.JPG The weather hasn't been great for working on the wood pile but I try to get out there at least 1 day a week. Here's the progress since I started this thread. Pile is about 9.5 feet in height and about 25 feet in length. Still loving the tw6.
