    I think I cut 30 trees in total. All 30 ft tall or more. Will take me awhile to get it all back home.

    It did look like a hurricane went through after I dropped everything. I took out 3 trailer loads and the stack at the back is what's left. Unfortunately it got a little muddy/dirty as I was working in the rain.

    Spent the last 3 days getting as much of my wood pile cut, split, and stacked as I could. Exhausted now but happy with the progress. The stack is about 6.5 ft tall.

    Armbru84 With your wood out in the open and exposed to sun and wind, your wood should dry in short order. You are lucky to have open areas like that. :stacke::axe::saw:

    That's what I am hoping for. Gets good sun and we always have a breeze!

    Ya gotta have a pile to work from.

    I like the incognito license plate on the trailer. Most people just photoshop it out of the picture for the www.

    That's a lot of work! You must enjoy working in the heat. I also notice how big some of those splits are so you definitely did some heavy work there.

    I am having surgery on my hand in a few weeks so I am trying to get as much done as I can. Make sure I drink a lot of water and take breaks. I am very tired and sore today though!
