Caught up on my splitting finally!

[Steve NW WI]

About darned time - I've been looking at a pile of blocks all summer, waiting for a nice cool day to work them over. Today was a bit too warm yet, but I had the time, so I got-er-did.

Had about a 1/2 cord of boxelder yet down by the fire pit, along with a little fresh green red oak in the background. The truck is loaded for a trip over to a friend's house for bonfire wood.

Small stack of elm from this spring, with a chunk of pine that found it's way into the stack:

Main piles, mostly red oak, with some maple, elm, and cherry thrown in:

I'll have to stack it all tomorrow if I don't have too bad a case of the Bud Light Blues from the bonfire tonight.

Now I can sic the saws on some more wood without feeling guilty about having a bunch to split yet. Maybe next weekend will mark the start of wood season. In case you're wondering, this took maybe 4 hours working alone, with plenty of union breaks involved.

Looks good! Always nice to get through the last of the splitting. I almost feel guilty when I go cut knowing that there is 2 days worth of splitting at home.

I have about 2/3 of a cord left to split before I can say it's all split!

tsc has the 22 ton on sale for 999.00. red oak and cherry good for the macho thing...elm, not so much.

That's great! But now what are you going to do? JK, but when I run out of wood to split, I start to get restless. That guy named Doug who blocks up logs better get back to work!

Same here. I have about 2-3 cord of locust on the 'to do' pile but I keep finding other things to do. I know that when that pile is finished I am pretty much out of fun stuff to occupy the time.

Still have a huge Willow to remove for a farmer...maybe Wednesday.
