    Been putting a little work in here and there when I can after getting that ChipDrop Score awhile back. A lot of that wood had some metal in it which was a royal pain in the arse!!! Getting it separated into smoker sized wood and stove sized wood.

    Splitting some of it I am finding a bunch.............Still got a ways to go and wish I would have given the rows of wood a gap between them but o well, it will dry in due time no rush here.

    Way to get it done Chuck! :thumbs:

    Metal is given evil with our affliction. Better to find it while splitting.
    If you ever want me to find nails in your logs have me cut it with a new chain! :hair:

    When your kids out grow the tree house you can store firewood up there. :stacker:Im sure it gets some good air movement! :D

    Good to see the progress. Just curious though, what's with the orange-ish strap up in the tree?

    Looks like it may be a concrete form nail (hammer drive nail)

    Exactly...heavy duty buggers they are!

    Looks like you got your woodshed roof/framing patched up, eh?
