The Car Hoarding thread

It was nice and cool, but way too humid! Offloading and processing can wait until tomorrow.

Thanks again Molly! Just let me know when it's time for the splitting payback!

 

Great job

 

I've got no business bringing home any more wood, but... Apple!
I got a pretty good load, just before the loader came around to push the pile. Now I have to find somewhere to put it.

 

I'm sure you'll find a spot.

Hoard on!

 

Awesome Score!!!! Apple wood is like ice cream, there is always room for it

 

That's some big chunks

 

I would certainly find a special spot for some apple!

 

I cut some other stuff, and tucked it behind the locust! Always room somewhere.

 

That must be one nervous tree. It sees all it's cut up brethren, laid all around it, only to be moved away at some point. It must wonder when it's time is up.

 

That pine tree will outlast me, I hope. It was huge when I moved here 30 years ago. I'm hoping to foist it off onto the next homeowner.

 

Not my usual dump fodder but I'll take it. A little dirty but no nails, OK for wood racks.

 

Hec yea, nothing wrong with those 2x4's at all, great score!!!

 

Does this qualify as car hoarding? Between my wife and me, we own 4 automobiles: 2017 Subaru Outack - wife's daily driver, 2011 BMW 335d - my everyday, 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 - farm truck, 2001 BMW 540it wagon - dog/sheep hauler.

 

Would you hoard wood in your hoard of cars?

 

Fun day today! The weather was perfect, and I spent the whole day outside. First I rounded up all the white birch in the yard that hadn't been processed. I got it all CSS, I split it small because I use it as the first wood when I start a fire. This is for 2021/2022. I got to try out my new Hults Bruk wedge that I got in Ohio, on the knotty bits. I'm very happy with it. It is not indestructible, though, there is some slight deformation on the head after hitting it with the sledge. Just as I finished stacking, I got a text from my friend with the oak tree. She ended up just having a dead limb taken off, didn't want to spend the $300 to have the whole tree (which is still alive) dropped. Anyway, we had a good time watching the action, I cut up the limb, and ended up with a nice load of white oak. Now beer and food!

 

The head of the wedge is supposed to deform...if the steel is too hard it will break or chip pieces off when struck with the sledge. Eyes are like magnets for flying bits of steel.

 

Makes sense, I never thought of it that way.

 

Nice score MidWinter, would love to get some apple for firewood

 

I get a fair amount at the dump, people get tired of picking drops off their lawn, and cut down the tree. Don't need to hire a tree service, so they DIY and haul it to the dump.

 

Shame you guys arent closer...im right next to apple country....there always pushin out old orchards in late fall thru out winter...
