Yeah it was in the 90s here in Va yesterday too, and pretty humid. Good work, and smart decision to get that done in the morning!
I like to work on the woodpile when it's 95 or over but ONLY if it's really humid.
I used to have a batch of chickens that would come running when they heard me start swinging the maul. Not only bugs in the wood, but any that...
White oak is awesome! Great stuff. Looks like you had ok weather for today?
March if we're lucky! Try September, or even earlier in October. And yes the difference with the seasoned wood is pretty awesome!
Nice farwood right thar!
Yep - mosquitoes, knats, bees, biting flies, all part of being in the woods this time of year. Friend of mine was cutting a downed tree the other...

I did not know that wives did such work!
I love the smell of red oak too! And you can't beat how easy it splits (usually)!

That is really scary - glad your house is okay though. It's unbelievable the damage that those storms can do.
Yeah I'm with you. It was only in the 80s here but very very humid. I drank about a gallon of water while working during the day and I may have...
