    So, I've taken the Maples down out front, over half the wood was standing dead and rotting, I did manage to salvage the lower portions of the trees. So, quietly I also got a "NICE" score of free Oak that a friend couldn't take so... I told him I'd take it! :whistle: Wifey said no more, yard is full! and what did I do... Yup, go get more;):whistle: I'm in the "BIG dog house now" I have the yard set up for 10 cord and thats pushing it. I'm hitting about 12 now said and done after done processing. So now I got about 2 cord of Maple and 2 more of Oak, 5 sitting cords of Oak and about 3 in the wood shed. :eek: This may be an expensive dinner out soon...:picard:

    Nice stash of rounds.
    I see plenty of room for more.
    Just think, it's less grass to cut. Less grass to cut is more quality time with the boss.
