    Right from the trailer tail gate to the splitter. I like that. Working smarter not harder.

    The beech is better than oak, but all that wood sounds great.

    I posted sometime back ....that i purchased them from Hancock,MD FFA Students...figured i couldnt beat the price of 300.00 ea. and being a FFA Student myself in high school...I like supporting them. Now the price went up to 375.00 only because building materials went up.
    I did some rough figuring for materials to build 2 more myself this spring...i came up with 225.00 ish a piece. For the space i have my stacks..there perfect

    I'd be in for a couple at that price knowing what lumber costs are. The shipping might be prohibitive,though. :)

    Good show all around, bear!

    bear 1998 very nice how you split and keep things neat. I keep a large green landscaping barrel with me when I split and put bark and junk in it to be dumped. Works well.

    I remember when you looked at and ordered those sheds and they are very nice. If you need more covered space here's a suggestion that I have done with my sheds...
    After sheds are empty from winter burning move shed on right more to the right leaving a bigger space between the two sheds. This space could be the same as original sheds or larger. You could then build a roof between the two using the original sheds for support. Add a base and you are all set for more covered storage.

    Helping friends is the best, you end up becoming a hero for having the right equipment, know-how, and use for the wood. It's mutually beneficial. Nice job :thumbs:
