A good sequence..

[wdchuck]

Some days when cutting wood on a nice fall day, I ponder all the other things that could/should be done. Then there is the most reassuring sequence of events, and there's that warm and fuzzy feeling when a good plan comes together. rain 62* to 18* and 8"snow in three days.

The dry ground and snow scene are 4hours apart.

There is a road at edge of the farthest trees, and 800acres of corn, trust me.

The Daka, and first fire of the day, snow on the window, and the stone foundation is painted.

A good deposit in the wood bank account, about 2-1/2 cords,unprofessionally split, couldn't get all in one pic.

Wdchcuk.

Good pics. What do you heat with, can't tell exactly by that pic? I use a heritage Hearthstone soapstone stove sitting in front of my fireplace. My next house will be new construction and I am pondering what I want to do for my wood heat source....

I hear ya, I also have lifes little battles of (what should i do today) . You must have a good feeling knowing your ready for the cold stuff. Thats a beautiful picture you've painted there, but just imagine IF the wood had been professionaly split.

Most accounts of how many times the firewood process warms you leave out that "warm pride" step some of us get when viewing the finished work. Stand back and contemplate the stacked up 'stored sunshine' while pondering with how many million BTU's it will pay back your efforts. Gives me a warm feeling. And I don't care what they say- that stuff looks almost PROFESSIONALLY split to me. Heheh.

That is a DAKA add-on furnace, Menards, clearance $500. If/when I do a different system it might be a Yukon Eagle add-on or an indoor wood boiler, but first this one has to die.

I'm going for my license examination, then I'll be a Journey-man splitter, after seven years I can apply for my Master woodsplitter license, THEN, it'll be professionally split.:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Stacking, however is a whole 'nother license.:monkey:


After one-handing the ends to toss them, I bet a guy could really launch a fingertip grip bowling ball.

Nice pictures, wdchuck. Reminds me of our farmhouse back in the day...only on the other side of the basement was about 5 tons of bricket coal. How was the steering on the ride home?

Now those are some nice pics, thanks. No snow here but 14 this morning.

As your your pro splitting licence you might oughta wait a spell, there are several pieces that look to be split from the wrong end or out of spec for size and get them lengths closer too!!

That was just from the pile on top of the hill, hard to get to after the path is covered in snow, steering was fine, still had a couple inches to the axlepads.
