Number 7 . This is the most wood I’ve ever done in 7 hours 
Bucking is so much easier on a level hard surface
I don’t remember locust being this easy to split 
and the only casualty of the day 
and the only casualty of the day I can do two loads in a day, but I don't have all the equipment you do
.You use premix gas? Man that's got to be expensive.
It’s what I had at the house . I use it for milling but I paid less than 5 bucks a can last December when Lowe’s was clearancing it out . Bought 25 cans

Got some help from one of the guys at work. We left at 12:00 since our work was done for the day. Finished the front, got the 2x12 header boards hung for the lean to. Restacked the wood left from last year in the middle of the wood shed, and started taking the side boards/ tin off. Sadly it's just that time for it to come down. I have mixed feelings about it, it's the first thing me and dad built together. But a lot of the rpigh cut oak boards are going into the lean to on the shop. After Icabob left, I cleaned up and restacked the insulation in the shop.
My electrician buddy stopped by and checked out my handy work. He was impressed with everything I did so far, but doesn't like what the solar company did with the transfer switch or my main breaker panel. So we'll be changing a lot of that when we run power out to the shop. Seems I need to get the wire for the generator shortly too so we can run that back to the transfer switch.

The Vault is coming along nicely. It's good to have friends.
Yes, it is, and yes it is. He's a real good kid. I've known him a bit over 2 years now and he really gives me some hope for this younger generation.
