The way to do it, firewood pics.

Well I cheated this year, don't get the time like I used to, to cut split firewood, so I had 6 cords cut split delivered. Now I gotta get the shed filled.

Thats ok, at least its done, and like it does here, until its "done" wears on your mind a bit. I know I'll be out in the hot weather still dragging in logs and processing in my spare time, with so much of it to gather on land connected to my house, hard to ignore, thanks to that Dec 27th windstorm. and dutch elm disease, I try to get those in a timely fashion, so its not punked, though it will work with some age and partially punked, just burns faster, the fresh, live or just died cut, that stringy split face just ignites and burns so well, well worth gathering all of it, leaves a nice coal bed, like oak, but does not last as long, though I'd much rather split other hardwoods, no sense in letting it go waste and the 28 ton Huskee, will power through anything I put on it, just carefully use a hatchet to free the pieces as needed.

So, at least your garden is in, wood on hand, must be time for hay.

I was out your way, on RT 20 before I88 about 2 weeks ago, went by the Jewett poultry farm and saw the loco from the old NY Central line on static display, had to look at a job for a customer I do consulting for, over in Rotterdam off of Rt20, decided to take a quick run out 20 a ways, don't recall I've been over there before, gave some perspective on the horizon I can see from the top of our ridge here.

That's right we're I took that pic from a few weeks ago. I'm 8 miles or so from the poultry farm. I also like cutting and splitting my wood, but for $46 dollars per cord more for split it was worth it this year, I'm gonna try mowing some hay tomarrow, it dried out nice after last weeks rain and tornado, thank goodness it just missed me by about a mile or two, alot of damage, my brother lives next door to me, but he's on a different power line, he's power was out from wensday to Friday afternoon.

$46/cord..... green and bucked in the round, thats a deal, have it dropped near the splitter and shed, no brainer on that ! Good deal there I would say.

We lost power for almost 10 hours, not sure if weather related, likely it was, tractor trailer wiped out up over the hill here, took at least one pole, lot of soggy areas with large trees, uprooted some big ones. I am thankful to have back up power now, I can't even tell when it goes off, have to go and look.

Maybe you miss understood me, or I confused you it was $156 per cord cut split delivered, vs $110 for log length, so it was worth it for me to pay the extra and not have to do the work! Lol.

Really starting to see the effects of the EAB in central Ohio. The local power company came in early this spring and cut all the Ash close enough to hit their lines. Still trying to get the mess cleaned up.

The downed trees are always as far away from the house as possible; it's easiest to cut it and load it and bring it back to split later. Too much to drag the logs back, usually.

Yes the same here, the state put some purple traps or something hanging in the trees to see how many eabs are in an area I guess. The one load here is 90 % ash wood, the rest is beech and sugar maple.
