Gotta get this stuff done so I can head to the woods on the weekends :)
One thing for sure , gotta get in there to take inventory of the dead tops in the horizon before the leaves start to drop so we know where to make trails in to get the best yield for the effort over the winter season , we'll leave the easy roadside stuff in case we get whacked like last winter .

I borrowed an F-550 stake body from work this weekend, to clean up some trees that we had to remove on a jobsite.

Oh, and there was a small loader there with a grapple bucket, so I didn't even have to lift the log length or rounds.

It felt like cheating.

Nah, just kidding, it felt great.

I got 2 full loads. I'm estimating it will be around 5-6 cords when split and stacked!

In my book, Maple, Cherry, Ash and Birch are premium hardwoods.
Oak is nice but it takes forever to dry, heavy, up to 5k pounds a cord, hard to source. everybody wants it.
I'm sitting on over five cord Pine, that's what I'll burn and another five cord of mixed hardwood.
I'm not a wood snob, I'll burn anything, Poplar, Hemlock, Hack, Palonia,( I like Palonia), Hickory.Dogwood, Apple, Elm
In the words of the Zogger, " A BTU is a BTU".
P.S, I forgot pallets and the kitchen table.

carry on

I spent the weekend moving and rehabbing my old shed into a future play house for my daughter. The shed has been here since 1987 without any maintenance completed.

The doors condition is representative of the rest of the exterior condition.

Need to move it across the yard.

Then get it off the ground

And done. I through the doors on yesterday after spending most of the day fishing. Just needs some trim done.

In the spring I may add some windows. But between fishing and the impending archery season, very little will be getting done around the house.

Looking good. I once rehabbed a shed that had chunks of roof and floor literally missing from rot but the walls were perfect. Turned it into a chicken coop.
