I hauled the splitter back today and finished splitting the rest of the maple rounds, not far from the area I was splitting is a topped off maple that will come down on another day.
I felled the topped off maple today, once it hit the top broke apart (rot) I only got two rounds out of it before it turned hollow filled with dirt so I left it there.....should make nice dirt.
I covered six face cord of shoulder season wood and another eight face cord of ash, we still have four plus cord of ash covered from last year for a total 12 plus. I let a bunch of tarps dry today, maybe tomorrow I'll cover more hardwood. In picture 3021 you can see the damage to a red maple from the last good windstorm, 3022 & 3023 are the same red maple. Picture 3024 is the white pine for the shoulder season and 3025 is the eight face cord of ash I covered today.
I cleaned up an area I'll be stacking in, bark and some pine needles went in a low spot. I also dried - out three more tarps I use for covering our firewood, two were folded up and put away, the third went on a face cord of ironwood I'm giving to our neighbor this fall.
I had two trees that I c/s up top, today the splits were brought down and then stacked. The only splits that need stacking are what's in the last picture. With what's in the trailer, we'll have a face cord, maybe a bit more. The old maple in picture 3030 was standing when I split the ash in that area, it will make some nice dirt.
Thanks yooperdave , it's off the hill and stacked so I'll finish the stack with some ash from the hill in the back.
One month today. Updating that thread shortly. Im able to work okay with nine fingers but can put little pressure on the thumbprint area yet. Kinda have to retrain my brain to do that as i get so used to favoring it. One day at a time and thanks for asking Zap.
