Had some drama going on last Fall and didnt get all the wood cut that I should have.
I decided to buy a couple loads this year to get me back on track and then go out and cut and haul the rest as usual.
I called a friend and he shows up with this. :shock2:
Holy Moly! :laf: Did not expect that. Well I might be done earlier then I thought.

You do have a HAND saw don't you?
Looks like some nice maple. Too bad it's still green. Should be gtg by mid winter though.
I have a pretty good pile started myself.

Yes...yes I do, Jerry. A Stihl MS 261 C-M and it requires BOTH hands :laf:

This all for next year Mike. I process a year ahead each Fall.
The stuff for this year is all cut, split, stacked and dried. Did that last Fall.

That's the way to do it. Unfortunately, I am always behind and end up with some green wood every year. Some woods can season pretty well in six months but I always end up with some red oak. That stuff takes foreverrr to season.
Did you provide a hive for the nasty flying insects this year?
No Jerry. The AirBnB has been decimated :eyebrownod:

Man, you don't fool around do ya!!!
DONE!! :thumb2:
I have to stop and ask myself what has become of my life when I get excited over getting my wood pile finished for the year? :confused:
I'm even more excited to be done before Thanksgiving. She was close! :innocentwhistle:

I wish you could hear and feel the burning wood crackling in the dining room while I type this. :wink: :sneer:
Man I love it.
Lookin' excellent! Love it. Lotta work, but great reward from your work.
That's the neatest wood pile I've ever seen.
When I look at that stacking, I believe that Jim was a mechanical engineer in a former life.

That sure would be cozy. My woodburner is outside so I don't get the atmosphere with it.
