    Welcome to the club. Yep, looks like you are getting a good start on a great wood pile. Just put you a top cover on it and hoard on.

    Welcome Paul Booth
    A hint if you haven't done so, make sure you shut the dampers on your fireplace as they will draw warm air out of your house.

    Thanks guys I'll get pics of the splitter tomorrow. I pulled it out of the weeds at my office a few months ago and repowered it with a 9hp Honda that I had laying around. I will be replacing that with a 13hp unit soon (little undersized). Most of the parts are from heavy equipment like a CAT motor grader.

    Question for you guys. What the heck is a shoulder season? I assume it's the in between season, fall and spring??? Sorry I'm new....

    No problem on the questions sir. Yes, shoulder season is when we attempt to burn our lower btu’s in the hoard. More comfortable to burn cherry and ash and save the big guns for the nipply nights...Again, welcome

    Ya I have a couple trees that have a few rounds in them. This one was the worst by far and I really dont want to ruin my chain or chains trying to get the last of it.

    A couple bits of lead isn't to bad but this one was "unloaded on"!
