It's the stacking I'm not in love with...….
I don’t mind stacking, you get to see your achievement at that point.
Exactly.

If it wasn't for almost 3 hours I took off so we could go get a certain item, this two face cord stack would be done but I'll finish it tomorrow and then get the next row ready.
Attached are some pictures of where I split in the gully and the stack of ash.

The stack I had started yesterday is almost finished (forgot to take the picture) but I split what was left in the gully, that almost finished that stack. Since I had one ash down up top, I decided to run the splitter up and split the bucked up rounds.
The first two pictures are from the gully where I split the ash, 0396 is up top, 0397 & 0398 are the rounds split, 0399 is a bunch of dead pine I hopefully clean up so I can put in a new trail this summer and 0400 is some of what's left.

If I had to pay for firewood I'd burn coal 4 tons at $210 a ton.One load in my dump trailer and I'm done for the year no cutting splitting or stacking,but right now it's not even worth doing that my son just paid 1.14 a gallon for fuel oil. He locked in at 1.27 for this winter.
My neighbour reckons his southern beech (nothafagus) firewood has gotten sunburnt! Is this possible does anyone know?
He cut and split it in March and now it is bone dry after being stored outside with no cover for 2 months. Admittedly we have had a heatwave, today was the first proper day of rain since early March. He did say the wood he cut was windfall but he didnt say how long it had been sitting.

Today I finished off the stack from yesterday with some Ash from up top and then stacked another face cord of Ash which also came from up top.
Picture 0404 is some Ash from up top, 0405 is the stack I started yesterday and finished today, the rest of the pictures are the next face cord I stacked and some pictures coming down from up top.
I have one more Ash down on the backhill that should give us another face for a total of 12 in this area, since I started cutting Ash we have 26 face cord, we heat from the basement so I'm hoping it will give us enough heat that the upstairs will be toasty, if not we have the Pellet Stove in the opposite corner, this past heating season we burned 53 bags.

Are there hardwoods in your area?
Some, not a lot outside residential yards and canal banks.
Okay, that helps me understand your area. I haven’t been to Eye Duh Hoe.

This was the last Ash I had felled on the backhill, I took two loads of the bigger rounds underneath a Pine tree for some shade when I split the rounds. I'll get the stacking area ready (one face cord) and then start splitting this week.
The other pictures are of a sundog, it had better color than what the picture shows.

Some spruce I got out of the big pile today.
Burns like crap but it still sells in winter.
Here is a back leaning ash that I took down. If it hadnt been for the wind it wood have gone over backwards, which is why I waited for a fresh southerly wind before I went near it. Back cut first job, it was too small to cut the conventional way because I would not have been able to fit my saw and wedges in the back cut at the same time.
Father and son?
