    Had a good evening on the woodyard Wednesday. Worked about 2 hrs, felt good. We got the rounds from Tuesday staged on the ramps, then decided to cut several more logs. 23270.jpeg
    amateur cutter we let that ugly plastic "029" and the MS180 play together on the log pile. 23265.jpeg
    Made quick work of several logs. Got a big pile staged on the ramps 23269.jpeg
    My hunny said she felt good enough to stack some, so we fired up the splitter. Made a small dent in the rounds stack 0525222131a_HDR.jpg
    It's a start... 0525222131_HDR.jpg
    If it doesn't rain, hope to add to it tonight.

    Got some more split after work last night, then the rain started again. Tigger decided he liked being in the shed with me while I stacked. 0526222006.jpg

    We split enough Friday afternoon to finish the first row and a start on 2nd row, decided we needed a date night.
    Glad we found this with the splitter and not the saw... 0527221612.jpg
    Got an early start this morning while it was cool. Done with 2nd row by 10:00AM. I think we have about 5-6 rounds left on the ramps to split 0528221043_HDR.jpg
    Got called in to work..:emptywallet:.. Operator was sick...:(...

    After getting home about 8:30 PM, we went back to the woodyard, had 8 rounds left. This finished the big stack of rounds we had bucked.
    Of course, we had extra help, Tigger and Sunshine made sure to supervise. 23362.jpeg
    Got almost a 1/3 row done. 0528222143.jpg
    That will be 1 cord when that row is finished. Maybe that will get done Monday.

    We usually do when we are working on filling a shed. It definitely helps, you can feel the temperature differences in the air after it moves thru the wood. 3 stacks deep works well. Even use them on the big sheds.

    Time for an update. Goat Town Firewood is alive and well.
    The full 1 cord rack has been sold..:)...Guy is driving about 45 miles 1 way to get it, he loads it on his Ranger pickup...:thumbs:..probably take him 4 trips...said he's retired and likes the drive...
    Modified our light set-up. Added a longer board on top of the 10' ladder, holds lights better 0612221923.jpg
    We started with half stack in this shed this morning 0612221923a.jpg
    Worked on this until splitter ran out of gas, got about a face cord done 0614221121_HDR.jpg
    Got these rounds left for tomorrow. 0614221121.jpg
    Our set-up....

    After we shut down splitter, restocked and added to the cherry rack. We originally had the pallets covered with plywood for strength, but would stay damp longer after rain 0614221255_HDR.jpg
    Then started sorting and stacking more logs from our logging job...Phase 2 logging
    Our biggest logging job yet.
    Got a few beech logs 0614221144_HDR.jpg
    jrider I found a good use for the sweet gum poles...:thumbs:...skids for the good logs...:yes:... 0609221724_HDR.jpg
    Hard to see, late evening picture, but that is 9 loads dumped on the ground 0608222052_HDR.jpg
    Worked on sorting hickory, maple and beech from oak and stacking over several days...got about 7 loads done 0614221256.jpg
    Another stack of oak. The smaller, crooked and knotty logs we are cutting now. 0614221255a_HDR.jpg

    I like the tag team effort from splitter to stacking. Nice job folks. I have on occasion split into the wheelbarrow and gone to the stack that way.

    You have a mountain of logs sir! Somehow I had never noticed how you take the time to split the bark off every piece. That must make for some super clean firewood!
