3 weekends, 9+ cord

[Shane N]

Did you rent a splitter or do you just have one that isn't listed in your sig?

 

[Lumber-Jack]

Wait,,,,,,,,, you have 30 cord of logs? Does this mean you had to pay for your firewood?

I've been cutting up Bigleaf Maple. It's not the best firewood but it's better than the Alder I've been burning most of this winter.

I love Bigleaf Maple, like it better than fir. I have a little over a cord 2 year seasoned, it well be next years wood along with Fir. I try to save the maple for the real cold days, we have not seen many of those this year

Photographs and taxidermy are the only cures for after life growth .

Damn. 30 cord would last me 8-10 years.

Same here.

Ummm. . . no. I just had to show up. There was 30 cord. I only got 10 of it.

Nope. Split mostly with a Fiskars Pro Splitting Ax.

You cut, split by hand and stacked 9 cords of wood in 6 days?.... Where those 18-20hr days?

It was closer to 10, but, most of the 6+ cord that came to my house are stacked (there's a decent amount that needs to be resplit). The three cord that went to my old man are on the ground and not stacked at all (Years ago I told him I'd cut, split and haul his firewood but I'm not stacking it).

Why do you keep calling more than one a "cord". One cord, two cords.

I suspect a regional vernacular and possibly industry related as a past customer who cleared rail and power lines used the word cord the same way.
It's certainly not just a west coast thang.

Did you take a picts of the nine cords as you went?​

This is Bigg_Redd we're talkin' about here. After being around here a while you'll find out he dont do pics.

Which is OK. (even though most of us like to see them)

Hey, Redd, could you at least paint us a vivid picture with words? That might be satisfactory... ​

My crew is me and my old man (who is fat and old and tired and of limited energy).

Staring down the barrel of those genetics, I would keep stacking three cords a week for the foreseeable future; You may not have many good years left.
