Very nice, you'll stay warm this winter just looking at it.

It doesn't get cold in Minot does it? :jawdrop: I heard there was nothing between North Dakota and the north pole except a barbed wire fence, and half of it was down.

The way I tell it

when winter comes we watch the polar ice cap grow

One of my cousins had a place in Medora, he's got some 'dead of winter' stories too. Maybe you should cut up another cord, just to be sure?

 

[NDtreehugger]

I never stop cutting

just stop storing.

I have this years and next years wood stored, anymore then that the bugs start getting busy..oke:

Now its time to get the Bur Oak

Nice log splitter. :lifter: How many ton is it?

 

[woodbooga]

I bet you feel a great sense of accomplishment - I know I always feel great seeing the big stacks of fuel I've split for the coming winter.

I'm in much the same place now, woodwise with about 5 cords stacked in the barn and about 1.5 cords getting a nice summer tan in my dooryard. Not gonna stop gathering and cuttiing, though. Now's a good time to begin stocking up for 2010.

PS, I wish I had that much ash in my pile. Full disclosure - my pile contains about a half cord of cottonwood. Not too proud to admit it.

That spliter is home made

not sure of the tonnage.:kilt:

nice stack there. i got a good pile going myself. im definatly into the next years supply for sure. i got a ton of old maple for this winter i got free. im not sure how fast its gonna burn as its been down a while. im expecting to use more than i normally do cuse of its age. but you cant beat the price.

I just got a call from my local tree service guy. The boss, who usually gives away the wood for free (because he has to pay $300 a truckload for disposal) wants to charge me now. So much for free wood anymore. Where have you been getting yours?

 

[wdchuck]

The beauty of free wood, is that if you get enough for free, then, when you have to pay a little for it, the average is still in your favor. It's still better than scrounging.

Next years wood!!! I don't even have this years wood in yet I am about halfway there.
Very jealous
I cut dead standing come fall so no biggie ready to burn.

And if it's a warm winter, he'll be begging me to take it ! (And I will :biggrinbounce2: :biggrinbounce2: )

I never stop cutting. I slow down on my cutting in the summertime but spend more time cutting grass instead. Don't want to overheat the saws either. I like cutting in the winter just because I don't sweat as bad... I can get more firewood cut on a 50 degree day than I can on an 80 degree day.

I'm interested to know how much damage the bugs do.

I've considered putting 7 full cords in a shed, and I'm wondering if I might run into this problem.

Bugs can be disaster

Different parts of the country have different bugs some parts have them all
I guess the worst would be termites then there is carpenter ants,
