Absolutely. I make myself ration them out. Less than an hour a day doesn't seem like enough of a workout; more than an hour and I run out too soon.

No, 2 reasons for that:
One, I'm THIRSTY when I'm done splitting.
Two, that means the truck is empty and I can go CUT more! (Probably the next day, see number 1 above

I'm sure there are plenty of people in here that could "cheer you up" with some new work to do.

I dunno, it depends on how much I like the Fiskars X-27 that we picked up at the farm store a week ago.
I'd probably miss cutting more... I love the smell of two smoke and the singing of a saw as it eats its way through a log. I don't really care for stacking wood. Splitting is okay.
I'm mainly in for the saws and warm house part of it, lol. But I do plenty of the work... whether I really like it or not.

Hell yea! Had all my wood cut, split, and stacked by New Years, thinking of buying another truck load and be 2 years ahead.
No not sad... just happy it's done until I go out again to get more. Use to do two to three truck loads in a day, but find now one to two is more than enough.. Just getting a little long in the tooth I guess! Here's couple of pictures of what I have so far.

No, not sad in the least.
I'd rather stack.:eek2:

Hey apattie what the heck are you trying to keep in or out with that monster fence?
Oh god no...I've got a hillside covered with Oak and Walnut rounds and I can't muster enough interest to get out there. I wish I had half the drive you guys have for splitting wood , just seems like more work to me.
Deer… otherwise they eat everything. I try my best to decrease the surplus population in November!

Rep sent, buddy!!!
Yup, it saddens me. I haven't had occasion to run my splitter, except to run it/cycle it, change oil - in nearly 2 years. That's what happens when your efficiency in splitting far exceeds your rate of burning, and you've got only enough room for 2-3 years supply split and stacked in your small downtown backyard...
I'm the same righit down to teh time I spend at it, me and my Fiskars, with about 6 cords black locusst rounds still to do . Bad thing is I have zero trees lined up to be cut, chasing a few possibles.

I can honestly say that I am relieved when the last piece is split and stacked. Wood cutting is just one of many things that I have to keep up with around here, not counting working a full time job which consists of 50-60 hours a week plus roughly 12 hours travel every week. Dont get me wrong, i really enjoy cutting and splitting but I equally enjoy seeing it when Im finished with next years wood supply.

Me, too, but so far something always seems to come along.
