I admit I like felling and blocking best. Getting it out of the woods is a close second. Splitting and stacking is such a chore to me that I always leave it to the bitter end. At the moment I have about 8 cord sitting in a pile and I just can't bring myself to go out and start in on it. I thought that I would get it done before the temps climbed up but now it is getting hotter and harder to get started. Someone please shame me into actually finishing this.
Sure, I will. :yoyo:
I'll trade your lack of motivation for a quasi bad injury that I sustained in mid May.
I had a nasty fall that left me with 4 ribs that have 5 breaks (and I mean breaks), a broken Left clavicle, I had collapsed part of my left lung, with a "small" concussion on top.
I had put up 4 cords of sugar maple in lengths that day and have had wood consistently rolling in for the last 3 weeks. I was planning on tearing into the maple the next day.
I am HOPING I will be back to using a chainsaw by the end of July/beginning of August. I originally was thinking September, but things are going pretty well healing wise.
I dont know if the Fiskars will be a viable option for splitting but the 394 sure will be. Besides, she gets a little testy when ignored.:msp_smile:
I was able to start a saw last week and run it for about 5 minutes before it really started wearing on me. Aaaaand I paid for it the next day.
I was going bonkers after the first week of being injured and watching the grass taunt me drove me over the edge. I got a suicide ball for the mower so I could at least mow one handed.:msp_biggrin:
SO, get out there and get the wood done while it's still summer . :msp_thumbsup:
I want to be hacking in the pile but you can be.
