Thread: Winter Firewood take2

Greetings All,
Another year has passed and here we are again gathering firewood for next winter. This year things are going to be a bit different. I was becoming increasingly concerned about the trees along our front boundary. Planted about 30 years ago they had become close to the road and power lines and had escaped my level of competence to fell. So a contractor was engaged to fell the trees and clean up the area. He arrived last Wednesday with an enormous digger with all sorts of attachments and after a little less than four days the job was done, well his job was anyway. Trunks and big branches have been stacked in a big pile ready for me to cut, split and stack. This may take some time.


As you can see my trusty 50 plus year old wheelbarrow is ready with chain saws (out of shot) and splitting axe. My son will help, and take some of the firewood. He has suggested hiring a log splitter and offering to pay for it which should come in handy when we get to the big logs in the bottom of the pile.
Wish me luck. Grandpamac.
