Nice work! Good looking haul for sure. Which side of the bargaining unit are you on, labor or management? Private or public? Been lots going on in WI that's affected us cheeseheads recently
Thanks. I’m a lead man on the labor side, but hourly rather than management. It’s a public company. I’m not supposed to discuss or speculate publicly while still in negotiations but seeing as it’s already in the news, I can say that we’re going to vote on the newest contract proposal this Tuesday, thankfully.
Got it, those are stressful times. I'm an exec board spot for a large labor union, firewood hoarding has become my therapy! Hope the vote goes the way you want it to, in the meantime get out there and enjoy firewooding.
All split and waiting to be stacked. Probably enough for two or three winters’ worth if I’m only burning it during the real cold snaps. It may get sold eventually for all I know; only time will tell. I try not to get too attached to anything in the stacks these days.
I try not to get attached to mine otherwise i have separation anxiety when it sells!!! Amazing how thick the bark is. You gonna let it sit so the bark falls off or stack and cover right away?
I'm hoping to start stacking it tomorrow. Can't really have piles sitting on the ground too long, even if it is locust. The boss would not approve
Thats my only pet peeve against big green BL..the thick bark. Glad you went back. Yeah this time of year the bark loosens up pretty quick and we know how bad it smells. Some of mine was like that and it was only a month old.
That’s a wrap on this particular score. Just about 2/3 cord of black locust. All that’s left to do is secure a tarp to the top of the makeshift pallet roof. It’s a pretty solid rack between the 45 degree braces and 8’ pallet roof tying everything in end to end. Underneath the black industrial mats are all the red maple splits. I can add to this short pile later this summer if I get more red maple. The little bit of pin oak from the beginning of this thread. I still have to find a permanent spot for it, but for now it can sit where it’s at. A little less than a cord all said and done, so not bad for hoarding during my off-season. That brings me to about 14 cords total at the house, which is a good number for me.
Not for me. Keep on breaking protocol or in gonna keep breaking your...well nevermind! You make some nice firewood my friend! and logs racks too.
