The first pic is my owb wood. Took about 3 hours to split roughly 4 cord. The second pic is longer oak - 20"-24" cut by tree guys so I pallet it to move since there's only about 5 cords. I cut to 16". Third pic is my newest oak pile. It's 75' long. The other oak pile is 100' long. The last pic is my locust pile. I have about half a cord to add to it tomorrow morning. Next up is the cherry logs- down 18-20 months so they will dry out real quick.

Pretty sure the thread is called "School's out for the Summer". I believe he is a teacher fro what I can pick up in his posts. My point was that it looks like he maybe a touch behind in his splitting from this point last year by the size of his windrows. Seems the weather is changing around already and we are going to have to get ready for the big chill coming like it or not.
That is a lot of wood, but I am interested in that umbrella. Is it mounted to the splitter, or stuck in the ground? I have been looking at mounting a biggen umbrella on my log splitter.

The umbrella is set up on a post I hammer in the ground so it's real easy to move. When the sun moves, just pull the metal post out and hammer it in somewhere else. It makes splitting all summer long so much cooler and it was free off craigslist.
I am wanting to mount a 10 or 11 foot offset umbrella on mine. Umbrella would be just like yours except the stem is over to one side. I usually split at the house in front of the woodshed with a big fan and the umbrella would be a nice option.

I am out of time because school starts back up tomorrow. I didn't get it all done but I feel pretty good about how much I got done and what I have left. I am figuring about 110-115 done so far to sell.

That's awesome jrider! Really makes me want to try harder at selling wood.

Nice job, how are the wood sales going?
Impressive!
After schlepping that quantity of wood around all summer I bet those students call you sir!.
This won't happen in your class either:

I have about 35 cords left. Didn't quite have as much as I had hoped. Probably only worked up about 135 cords to sell and about 15 for the wood boiler. I was in great shape Labor Day weekend and even though I've been busy as heck delivering, I can tell I've softened up some in the last 2 months. Already started collecting for next year but I do plan on slowing down come deer season.

A few years back I did have a student threaten me. He told me if I didn't walk away from him he was going to hit me over my head with a lab stool. I calmly smiled and replied, you're going to need a lot than that chair. We took a slow walk to the office and he was removed from the school that afternoon.
