    From the other thread I posted. Started around 9 to 530. A friend helped and got half. Took 2 cords split to his house and 3/4 cords split to my house along with 2 cords of rounds. My arms feel like they will fall out of their sockets and my right eye is twitching.

    Brian, that looks like a FANTASTIC day of hard work, and a HEAP of well-earned primo firewood.....
    I'm sure you'll be feeling it for several days, but that hard work will pay off (and be remembered again) when you burn that wood in a couple years....

    I gotta ask the question too, though.....did you guys get the stump? There was nearly a truckload of wood just in that stump!!

    We left the stump, that thing would be a bear. We also left 4 lengths, which we will buck and split for the homeowner, as he has a fireplace.

    Zap, A crisp morning, 35F and jumped to low 60's. The wind really kicks up the sawdust when not working in the woods

    Thx Scotty, no stump yet. We will, it was getting late. I suspect 1 to 2 cords in that stump. The picture doesn't show a 5th shoot off the main stump. There's probably 5 hrs css just in that stump. Its unbelievable. At least 5 ft across. Insanity I tell you!
