Hope everyone is having a good Easter, got out this morning and finished cutting up the one big elm I had laying down. Started cutting up the poplar I have down, only got 2 cut up and a small maple then the misses called and was wondering what time I would be home as we are going to Walmart and get some paint as we are redoing a bedroom (I told her last night as I was doing the prep the painting was all her, I hate painting, so at least when we get home I can unload the truck after I help paint ) So I finished up the tree i was on and headed out. Few small piles for next time
It was a nice morning to be out, 41 with a light breeze when I got out there. The misses and I didn't get to bed tell almost 2am, I got up at 7am, let the dogs out, fed grain to the one horse, filled the OWB and got out there around 8am miss redneck slept in tell about 20 mins before she called.
Elm..... RUN !!!! Still working on some that Brad and myself picked up over the past few weeks. I was able to split it all and some pieces split much easier than others , even with the hydro hatchet . Lots of stringy pieces and fibers in some of it. Just a small amount left to stack and even stacking some of the pieces with all the strings hanging out every which-way is a challenge ; but I will admit I am not the best at stacking either. Hey if you don't want it you can always give it to " woodwolverine " rumor is he loves elm.
No egg painting for me, did get a colored egg from the grandson though! I cut this one up right down to the twigs I figure it all burns!
