    It wasn't cooler...in the low 80's...he tries to keep the sun off his skin, he has had some skin cancer before, like me...
    I was referring to the center rot, takes more time to process and clean up. Probably put that in our big shed when I get it built.
    She told us to just pile the brush, she would get her son to move it to their burn pile in the pasture with the JD.

    Thank you, brother. It will be nice when we got'ter done, but then where will the fun be...lol...
    Funny when late winter was here, we had finally worked through the stack of 18/24 months old logs, it was a pain cleaning some of that up and some was too far gone, I wondered if we would have more to cut. But looking back on this thread to the last of February, the LORD has really blessed us with plenty of wood to process again. HE is always on time...

    I know you won't let this batch sit. It's begging to get cleaned up! You did a good deed taking those down for sure, that hollow one with the block inside was a real hazard.

    Thanks, I had a great day with our friend Mike. He used the 180 to limb and trim. I was very careful with the hollow tree. Glad when I hit that block, it was on the first cut. Yes ma'am, we are gonna work hard on getting all that processed. Still have the big shed to do, then got to build the XL shed.

    Started out as a rainy morning Tuesday, but cleared off and we were able to CSS a few smaller logs to finish the 16" split shed. 0519201114.jpg Then we started splitting the shorty pile before we move the splitter.
    Then it be time to start filing the big shed.

    Wasn't trying to get it to tight, just big rounds made mostly straight splits...we have about 2 1/2 cords of 16", 8-10 cords will be 18"
