Time to start cutting

Well the woodpile was in good shape in September. It looked like this:

Now it looks like this:

I hope it's safely stored inside somewhere.

You might want to update your stove. That's a lot of wood to burn in a month.

Actually the point of this was the following pics. The visibility was very poor and overcast, but the colors are still good.

[zogger]

This year I have a 2nd place to cut that is going to be logged and the first will be finished up. The loggers have been already bribed for cutoffs from the landing.

I now have access to this 4 WD tractor W/ 14,000# logging winch and ice chains.

So where did all that wood REALLY go?

That tractor and winch outfit will sure be nice and make it easier!

Left the damper open.

Looks more like someone else is working your pile also, if I was burning thru that much wood so fast I would say what the h €!! And go investigating. Especially if this was not my first year burning.

People threw money at me for it. It went fast.

The tractor and winch are a last resort. Once the logging starts, cut offs on the landings are much easier and they are much larger. It takes about 3 min. for this load. I drive home, cut while on the trailer to contain the sawdust, then roll out exactly where I will split it next to the stacks. The sawdust flies off on the next trip.

The loggers load my trailer with the forwarder and it looks like this:

Well the loggers still haven't got here to do the two tracts I have lined up. I am planning on spotting a 30 yard container up there when they do.

So I have had to cut it and haul it the old fashioned way. But I have a start anyway.

Damn that's a beautiful sight!
