    4ish, nearly all softwood

    They were in snuggled up on the couch with Mrs DG, watching Hallmark movies:picard:, I have to keep an eye on them, so they are not usually out when I'm running the saw.

    4cords/yr

    Including this year, you have 4yrs of wood.

    I was there before you moved in, just over a year ago, and there wasn't any wood css'd.

    You've managed to CSS 16cord of wood?

    Well done, Dave. Well done!

    Good to see Dave, I don't know how you managed to get that much done with all the work building your new place. Are you planning to build a new wood shed? Your last one was sweet!

    This years wood came from the old place, so 12 cords CSS by me since we moved in. I enjoy the work, just me n' the Hounds hanging out in the woods hand splitting is my happy place.

    Nope, still splitting by hand.

    You've got the Hound dog part covered:thumbs:...squirrel free stacks:D

    They were inside with Mrs DG, I've got to keep an eye/ear on them when they are out with me...tough to do with running a saw.

    Shed/barn will definitely be in the works at some point...gotta have a place for the tractor, implements, tools, wood, chickens, goats.....:D
