I finally cleaned up my yard where I had a triaxle load of wood delivered at the end of January.

View attachment 350269

It took me over 50 hours total to get 7.5 cords stacked, usually an hour or 2 each night after my daughters went to bed starting mid March once the snow melted. The only tools I had to use were my Husqvarna 385xp and Fiskars X27.

The back 4 rows are red oak and the front 2 rows are mostly hickory. The pile of knotty pieces on the end refused to be split by the Fiskars so I'll be borrowing or renting a splitter for those.

Now that your caught up, if you want to come out for a week, I'll put you to work with a couple splitters and you won't even have to stack! lol!
Pics look great!

Cool. Nice work stacking and all. Might I ask, since you're in CT, where you ordered the tri-axle load from? Might be wanting to do the same this year. Thanks

I bought the wood from R&J Harvesting in Eastford. They have a website but I'm not sure if it's allowed to post the web address here, just Google it. It was a coincidence that they were doing some land clearing in my town right when I called them so I didn't have to pay extra for long distance delivery and they dropped off the wood a few days later. I would definitely order from them again. The owner said he sells over 100 firewood log loads a year.

Thanks. Took a look at their site. Impressive set up for logging, etc. Bookmarked it for when I split and stack what I have now so I can see how short I'm going to be for winter 2015-16

Nice work.
That is my startegy currently. I had about 12 cord delivered near the end of March but am just getting around to working on the pile. Im about a 1/4 the way through it so far and only work on it once my daughter goes to bed at about 8 until its too dark to safely work. One night I go down with both my saws full of gas and oil and block untill both saws are empty. Then the next few nights I split it all up and repeat. For now Im just making a pile of splits on top of my logs and work from top down.
I'll see if I can get some pics of my pile here in another day.

I try to keep my woodpile as clean as I can get it and keep the area around the wood pile clean too. Who ever has the nicest/cleanest looking woodpile,

My woodpile? Well, it's a pile, not a stack. It's probably not the nicest/cleanest, but it'll do. I figure that it will season better as a pile instead of a stack, but maybe I'm just making an excuse to do it the easy way. I stack and pack the front end loader and then go over to my pile and dump it on. Still got lots more on the ground waiting to be split.

Got all that I had collected split and stacked, then started cutting a maple that fell last year. Hopefully the weather holds and I can go to my other property and start clearing some logs there next weekend.

Yup, its one of the cheaper beers up here (beer is ridiculously expensive compared to in the States) so I drink it sometimes.

Good ol' Pabst Blue Ribon... some fond memories were made that included the consumption of PBR. Matter of fact, the first time my brother and I had the nerve to ask my Mother to buy us beer she bought us a 6 pack of PBR lol.
