Beat the rain with another huge load. Last of this little tree.

Miss Middle Child and I had some free today so we got the splitter out and got after some rounds.


There were only a couple dozen rounds in the trailer but I need it empty to use for stuff Monday so we split them up. She was a trooper and kept jumping into the trailer to drag them to the back. She ran the splitter lever when she was on the ground. She also backed the splitter around a 90 into the spot it’s in on the first try. She’s getting pretty good st stuff for being 10.

Slowly but steadily working my way through 35 cords of white birch. Easy work but takes some time!

 

[RCBS]

Almost through the white oak logs. Should net close to two cord when I get the last one done. Scheduled for use in winter of 27.

15 acres of woods and I pick a dead fall that's like half dry. In my defense this landed on top of the one I thought I was after. Brought in by MS191t

Today's big load.



Working my way back clearing the road. So I can just run through with a small disc to knock the brush down a little.

This top branch is the 4th I've been gifted by this tree.



It used to be the tallest in this area of the woods. Pretty sure I posted it the last time I was cutting back here. Someday maybe I'll take it down. Clearly not in a rush here.

The littles supervised while I bucked stuff up on the table.


I think I found the limits of the lawnmower. That’s as high as it’s lift both the loader and 3pt. Sure is handy but I doubt it’s good for it.


We filled 6 of these 8 totes today and my back doesn’t hurt even one little bit. I really like that bucking table.

Nice huge bales...

They’re just little 4x6’ bales compared to the 5x6’s out there. These corn straw bales weigh around 1400lbs each.

I know several people with bale burners heating their shops and other farm buildings so it’s not really an off topic post at all. They’re just a different sort of firewood

These will all be used as cattle bedding. I’ll go through around 800/yr.

I'll stick with the theme and show what I have here at home. There is a bit more stacked at our place "up north"

 

[MNWood]

Here are more photos. I have a bunch stacked in the "back" and some alongside the garage. I have more than the 3 year plan requires.

My plan was to become a snowbird. Life keeps getting in the way.

Oh yeah today's scrounge lilac pruning after pulling the wild grape vines out. They were really choking this old bush out

 

[I saw a lot]

Texted pictures to my wood fairy this morning. He texted back and had this load of hackberry for me to pick up. Made them do the hard work of loading the liftgate so I could move it around in the truck. Win, win for all.

More fir this am

Crazy busy weekend - reffed 10 hockey games and delivered (let's see): 1/4 cord of oak Friday night; 2 separate half-cords of birch plus 12 bags of mixed hardwoods plus 10 bags of oak Saturday; 10 bags of oak in one place and 5 in another on Sunday. Everyone woke up on good Friday & decided it was firewood time I guess!

 

[Wolverine]

Splittin’ w/ dad yesterday, got 90% done and I throttled up to full. I typically knock it down from max a tiny bit. Only took about 5 minutes and BAM.



Glad neither of us were on that side! Ripping hot hydro oil sprayed up and everywhere. Just got a light spray.
We just quit but I think the filter just came loose. It was too hot to mess with.

 

[sixonetonoffun]

Rain (we hope) forecasted so snuck out for a quick tank through the 191.

Now to move that death pile and stack it all…
