So this will be the third year in a row of my thread titled “the march to....”. Two years ago it was “the march to 150” where I wanted to set a record of 150 cords processed and sold. That year I surpassed the goal with 180 cords. Last year was “the march to whatever 2020 brings” and boy did it bring it! With covid, I had much more free time and so did my college and high school age helpers. I ended up selling 225 cords. I am off to a great start due to covid once again and kids looking to work while attending online classes and extended winter breaks. I have a few different piles of splits going which I tally up to about 55-60 cords already. I have also estimated the amount of logs I currently have on site at around 90. I’m not going to put a number on it but if covid remains as it is now into summer, I should easily hit 250 cords with 300 being a possibility. So here goes the next march!
You are off to a big head start. You have the labor lined up, just need the wood pipeline to keep gushing!
I’ll bet the 390 can’t come soon enough! Looks like it’ll get broke in niceMeanwhile, we’ll stay tuned!
I wish I had the room and storage area to do this to a degree. Be perfect to do with my sons and help towards future college bills.
I think I'm gonna take inspiration from ya jrider ! Been getting a little burned out working in my shop so many hours, may cut back & make/sell more firewood this year too. Can't wait to see your progress!
Looking forward to it Joe. Always fun to watch how much firewood you make. Best of luck and work safe.
Wow! Now that's a firewood business! What are main pieces of equipment you use to process all of that wood? Preferred saws, splitter, etc.?
