    I see the stacks are coming along nicely Greg. Makes me wonder if you ever sleep.

    Just try to keep steady, and certainly can’t go as long as I used to. When I get a call from my arborist friend I try to go even if have to take multiple days to process what I get. 90-120 minutes max in a day actually working loads seems to be a good amount for me as I just turned 60. More cutting behind than ahead, but hope to enjoy as I’m able and not be angry when I have to stop.

    Nice, as always.

    Just turned 60, huh? 90-120 minutes max per day, huh?

    Just wait until that 90-120 minutes a day results in even less work accomplished than what it used to get done! :rofl: :lol:

    But, you're still at it! :thumbs:

    Not full sun but I would say this time of year from about 10:00am to 4:00 pm, as the area is surrounded by woods. The trees are far enough back that it gets a decent shot at the sun. I am interested in what the stacking will do in terms of drying. I know it helps maximize the space as compared to the big heap I used to do. And I also hope it will avoid the avalanche effects of a big stack when I move to lean to. April will tell !
