Git'ter done down in Dixie

Shade over 1 cord. I started throwing it on the trailer, then started loose stack it. All the wood in the rack we finished last night, pic a few post back. Stack is 54" x 52 x 95, I think.

 

Ya made me hungry Jeff, so i made a couple of pieces of toast and smeared some home made raspberry jam on them both. Thank you for doing that, lol. Tomorrow, sour dough muffins and same jam. hmmmmmmmmm

 

I have the same size trailer as you and I figured I could get a cord in it stacked. Good to know.

 

Great minds think alike. We bought some sourdough English muffins tonight. We can have some tomorrow too.

 

If you stack it tight, you can get 1 1/3 cords, 4 face cords of 18" wood on there.
Load from January this year. 1 cord thrown on.
Our trailer is 7x12x 24" sides.

 

Is your trailer made by Versitile? Looks lust like mine.

 

No sir. Big Tex 10LX is the brand and model

 

Haven't gotten much done lately, cleaned up the process area and set up the splitter again Monday morning, had a few odd jobs to do, managed to get started on the shed refill where we delivered the load Saturday, split more than this, but it went in short and ugly pile.
A good friend alerted me to a free oak wood post on FB Marketplace. It was still available, about 4 miles from my house and they would help load it. It's been cut maybe a year. Some short logs, some bucked. We will sort it out and find a home for it. We will bless a couple families with this load.

 

Good work T.Jeff Veal ! Seems like divine intervention stepped in at FB Marketplace to see to it this oak was held and waiting for the right people.

 

great score my friend! Gotta love close to home. I know i do

 

Yes sir. Can't out give the Good Lord

 

It is impossible to keep up with wood on my property that the Good Lord makes available.

 

Wish we were closer, we could help ya out.

 

It takes quite awhile to get a cord css when doing it without big equipment. Being close to 72yo slows me down as well. Other that what I have listed in my sig, is all hand tools. Being a number of years ahead and only needing 4 cord per year, its doable.

 

Nice work T.J.V., how's the heat in your area?

 

Hot and dry. Has rained about 1/2 mile from us and stopped. Grass is dry and crispy. Got to about 95°/50% hum today. Been mid/upper 90's all week. Less grass to cut means more time for WOOD...
Update...my hunny just sent me a pic of liquid sunshine falling at home.

 

Making progress on the shed refill.
Started working on some white oak logs that had been down long enough for the bark and most of the sap to be gone. Still has some good heavy pieces in it. The lighter weight pieces are going in the cull pile for us and mama to burn along with shorts and crooked pieces Had a few 14 & 16" pieces to go on another rack. Used my hunny's wood hauler.

 

Hey I like her hauler.

 

Thanks, it will haul _ _ _......it came with a 9 HP club car motor that need work, we had it swapped out to 18 HP Briggs from our old Cub Cadet mower, changed gears in the rear end. It runs about 25 MPH . It will definitely spin a wheel now...

 

I don't and never did speed. In 2011 we were at sil. We went for a ride on her 4 wheeler to check out her property. On way back we were going slow down into a small ditch to get to the road and the wheels caught and we flipped. Landed on left side and my arm was stretched out so headed landed on that. But still ended up with 5 broken ribs, broken collar bone slightly punctured lung and dislocated shoulder.
