    It finally stopped raining for a few hours, so I got a chance to hit the wood pile for a while. Been working on it this week trying to get it done so I can get it moved and stacked out of the yard, my significant other is starting to ask when it will be cleaned up so I figured I better speed it up a bit and get after it. Got it all but 2 logs that are froze down cut and split. Now if the yard will dry up a bit so I can move it without making massive ruts it will all be good :tractor::rofl: :lol:

    At least you got some yard tree clean up done today.
    I'm a bit south of you and we in got 1.5" of rain last night. Our yard is soggy, and one day even has standing water. While it didn't rain much more today, and misted/ rained today it didn't dry up at all.

    What kind of tree is that?

    Making firewood lots of fun. Doing it in mud and slop, not so much fun. Nice work despite the working conditions Redneckchevy :thumbs:

    If she would have been home I probably wouldn't have worked on it, but she left for work at 545. And I have a problem sitting around lol. So after bumming around the house for a while I said screw it and started cutting haha
