Got some wood stacked today was wanting to get all of it stacked but my back got tired on me before I had to deliver a cord of dry eucalyptus to a guy down the road

Just a pic of one of my piles. I have two more of these that each hold 4 cords. I rotate and thus I have 3 year old wood and a 3 year supply.

Hey plowboy just curious to know how cold does it get in your part of the world. Do you get snow? Just wondering if red gum eucalypts grow in areas where it snows?

No we don't get any snow here well it actually snowed one time when I was a little fart but it didn't amount to nothing. It freezes here a little bit but rarely will get below 20 degrees. I live down in the valley but 20 miles west it snows and about about 35 miles to the east. I never seen a euc growing a over 500ft elevation around here.

Been leaving for work in the dark and driving home in the dark. Weekends aren't enough to be outside in our beautiful weather, so I have decided to start using worklights to retrieve wood that is cut an laying in the woods. Picked this little load up last night and split tonight....so enjoy a nighttime view of my splitting area.

I decided to try staking on some pallets in the hopes that my old 9n tractor will lift them when it's time to move them. Not sure how well the wood will dry like that.

Should dry just fine with top cover

Going to have to be very steady with the machine when you try and move them after they dry. The wood shrinks a little. You'll end up playing 52 pickup. Lol

al-k, buy a cheap shrink wrapper at Home Depot and run a few wraps around the skids before you try to move them. Saves picking wood up twice.

good idea, i was thinking about chicken wire but shrink wrap would be cheaper. I hate stacking wood two and three times.

 

[ri chevy]

Lol. Good idea.

I wound up getting all the wood cut that I cut and hauled home yesterday. I figured it was easier to cut them up in 16 footers yesterday and load them with the forklift on the flatbed trailer then to cut them up down there and load them by hand into the dump trailer. It worked out good unloaded them with the backhoe and my back didn't get tired once lol. I got 4 trailer loads yesterday should get it all split tomorrow after work
