Ok so today was my last day of work (real job). Got my chains sharpened and bought 2 more 24” ones and plenty of mixing oil. Tomorrow is go time. I will be adding pics as I go along. It’s game on!
Glad you are off for the summer. Hang out under the umbrella and split that wood. We are still plugging along ourselves...
Today had a high around 80 with a dew point around 70 so it was humid as heck plus little to no breeze so it was a sweat box but the sun wasn’t out a whole lot so that helped. I put in 7 hours which included cleaning up small random piles that just got left behind as they were odds, shorts, etc. It took some time to clean those up. After that I cut this poplar which was a around 1.5 cords worth which then opened up room to get to this oak pile which I also got started on. Then the skies decided they were holding enough water and randomly spit, sputtered, and poured so I called it a day. The one long pile of oak now measures 75’ long.
Awesome days work, especially considering the heat and most importantly the humidity. You musta gone through a gallon or two of water.
N 80 or so isn’t bad even with the high humidity especially since it was cloudy a better part of the day. I went through just over a gallon of water, 1 16oz Snapple and a tall glass of moms homemade iced tea.
Glad to see another teacher/hoarder in the club! I also teach! Wish I had the summer to do firewood only, but I paint houses in the summer. You got a nice set up there! And where does all that wood come from!
Much of the wood comes from a tree service, some comes from a guy who owns an excavation business, and the last portion comes from scrounges which might equal 30-40 cords this year.
