    We have purchased the property across the road from us so I am in the process of moving my wood stacks over before we sell our current house. Man am I gluten for punishment. PXL_20220213_191111989.jpg PXL_20220213_211003015.jpg PXL_20220220_174050975.jpg PXL_20220221_180026305.jpg

    You should shake hands with Ctwoodtick as he will be doing the same but hasnt bought a new place yet.
    Only one of us hoarders would do something like that. I know i would. How much wood to move?

    She's still kickin just hasn't got much exercise lately. After my torn up knee in Nov. and finally having surgery late Jan. I am hopeful to give her some work soon. I loaded up last Sat. but there was too much ice and water to get to my latest cutting spot. Good thing I am way ahead. I will be sure she has her picture on display if I load her up.

    Big Betty White can haul her fair share but the Grizzly and yard trailer are handier.

    Good work, I will also be feeling that pain once we find a new house/land. My wood is back on old logging trails so big trucks and trailers are out of the question. Can you say double handling:hair:

    Still working on the wood move. I'm down to 2 cords.

    I will say this has reminded me of a few things and taught me few as well. Like bark on sure hold moisture. I had some of my stacks top covered but not all. That will correct at the new place before fall.

    Couple of shots of what will be my new processing area and some future BTU'S.

    Been busy so I haven't updated in a while. Got all the wood moved over finally. Just shy of 9 cords.

    Sold our old house, closed the 9th of this month. We had on the market 3 days and had 4 offers over asking. New owner is happy and seems pretty neighborly.

    Congrats on the sale.

    Never did envy you having to move 9 cord of wood.
