    Welcome to the nut house VTW ....pull up a log and sit a spell by the fire. That is quite a pile for hand splitting, I remember those days of old but now my back says "I like that hydraulic splitter"

    Nice pile of splits. Good to see you have your own mountain lion standing guard on it!

    Welcome to the forum VTW

    Funny you say this is the first forum you've been on. I was in this same position several years ago. Not big on social media but somehow got hooked on wood heating related stuff, especially firewood. That was 10 years ago and I've still not tired of it, but then, I've been this way all my life.

    I'd also like to point you to different parts of this forum, like Resourses (at the top of the page), then the other forums about saws, stoves, one called Everything else, etc. Make yourself at home.
