A low initial reference point makes any improvement seem worth while. Hmmm, maybe I should try that philosophy out on my bride..."see honey, I never used to put the toilet seat down, but this month I did it twice!"
I think it might have been Paul bunion that was talking about extremely old trees that also served as property line markers, wondering if they are similar.
Congratulations guys and gals. The first time you start getting wood piles like this, the feeling is tremendous and the benefits are even better. I remember several years ago when I first got on a forum. Had not much desire to stay but ended up staying. Later I found the wood shed part of the forum and met many of you there. When I started posting pictures and if memory serves me, we had something like 21 cord all split and stacked, people started looking and wondering. The 3 year plan came from this type of thing. For those who aren't yet on it, you will be amazed at the difference it makes. Good luck and have fun!
Glad you did stay. You have a lot of followers who have learned a lot from your postings. I got too messages, plan ahead, and be safe!
What I call a fence buster is one the birds planted by sitting on the top rail of the chain link. It grows so close to the fence that it will literally ruin the fence if you don't cut it down. In my case I let them go too long so now I need to deal with them after they are already pushing hard on the top fence rail. It does make for fun cutting challenges.
I find volunteer trees all over. Oak where there isn't one anywhere nearby. Weird. Must be tree gremlins.
Great thread. I get ahead as far as I can. Splitting and burning.with snow on the ground is the worst
