Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

[zogger]

I hope you folks are well and enjoying the weekend.

The remaining firewood rounds are all split and stacked. Got the wood finished yesterday but it was too late in the evening to get photos. Boy, I'm glad that's done for the duration. I enjoy working up firewood but not all the darn time. This puts us three years ahead. The stack is sloppy but it's gonna be gone by this time next year anyhow.

Went to the grocery in town today for Easter dinner stuff. They had fruit trees for $13.00 each. So we picked up 5 of them. Two apple, two pear and a flowering tree that supposedly attracts hummingbirds. The apple and pear trees, the label said they needed another variety in order to produce fruit. That's why we got two of each, different varieties. We may live long enough to see 'em actually produce fruit, lol.

Digging the holes wasn't too bad. It's been raining a lot here and the ground was nice and soft. The SheWolf helped with raking the soil over the root balls and watering. I'm gonna leave the garden hose out there and water 'em often for now. Still worked up a sweat though. Glad I don't have to do that stuff for a living. Got the garden plot tilled, too.

Have a happy Easter, everyone and get some rest.

WTG man! Nice to be ahead on the heat! Dont worry about those fruit trees, give it just two years! We put some in the second year here, now they are nice and get tons of fruit. Also put in some grapes. We get jellies, pies, sauce and fresh eating from them, real nice really, what would normally be just lawn to mow space. Still have to mow and trim around them, but whut the heck, not that hard and worth it. Weve also had good luck taking branches and rooting them to make more trees. Gonna do some more soon now. Have to trim them anyway...

This is the last 4 days work of hauling. 98% cherry. Now to buck am split some. Hopefully we're close to 20 cord with this.

opcorn:maybe 8 cords but not 20

I like your little helper's sidearm, 357? :msp_w00t: In case the bears get too friendly? :msp_ohmy:
Be safe. :msp_thumbsup:

It is a .357 for bear, but moose can sometimes be a problem as well.

I did firewood this way for ten years, harvesting every winter for the next. I was laid off in the winters from doing road construction and enjoyed it. Had to drag in 100 lb propane bottles 1,300' too in the winter. Makes for sleeping well. Now I cut very little in the woods and buy 20 cord loads. Thanks for the pictures. Crane

I understand the 100 lb propane bottle thing. We do it as well, but can get pretty close to the cabin with the 6-wheeler. As for the heating wood, there is no one out here in the middle of nowhere that delivers fire wood, so we do it ourselves by necessity. Snowmobiles and ATVs take much of the work out of it, but then I'm still staying healthy clearing trail and splitting wood. :msp_smile:

im still jealous. you live in alaska and can already cut wood for next year. i live in minnesota and itll be another month before the snow is gone enuf to even get in the woods. two months before the mud dries up and thats only if we dont get any rain. may is usually a really wet month around here so im not holding my breath

I live in ohio and I took advantage of the warm dry weather the last few days but its raining now go figure but I believe I have enough for next winter! I plan on cutting here and there weather permitting

NOt to many empty wood pile pictures being posted after winter...either way thanks for the great reading material throughout these boards. Raining rather hard this morning so figured I'd catch up on some topics with a couple cups of coffee. This muddy mess mother nature is producing is not helping my effort on getting wood out this week.

Thanks for the reminder! :msp_thumbup:
Got the day off from work(I'm no "April fool" :hmm3grin2orangeto clean up the dead wood I've been pruning out of the trees in my back yard. I also pulled the tarps off the sides of my wood shed, I don't think we'll get enough "bad weather" to justify keeping 'em on any longer. I took these pics about 30 minutes ago. Still have a pretty good amount of wood left, it's been a mild winter overall. I'll probably end up with about half of whats there at the end of "the heating season".

By the way, if no one has said it already(even if they have), Welcome to Arboristsite! :msp_smile:

What's left of this year's stash. A serious mix of what I thought was junk. Ended up ok after I sorted it and split it up.The ash on the right is from flra_dave's project a couple of weeks ago. Thanks again, Dave.

About a cord of black locust for the coming season. Another half cord of tops still out in the muddy woods. It'll wait.
