Thanks to everyones advice I am about 2 years ahead. Rows are 48 feet long. I have burned about a cord and a half this winter so far. There is about 4 cords CSS summer of 2010 but the majority of the wood shown here was CSS early spring 2011. It is a mix of cherry, ash, hickory and hard maple. I have about a half a cord of oak separated to ensure that I do not burn it to soon. Around the corner of the barn there is about a cord of cherry and maple that needs to be split before I start cutting again (hopefully soon).
I have a deal arranged with a local camp that gives me access to an almost unlimited supply of tops, downed trees and power line maintenance. They call me when they have anything that needs to be cut and I do not have to drop any trees. It is funny how when the word gets out that you heat with wood, everyone seems to know where there are trees down. I picked up about 6 cords that were already bucked to length.
My wood processing is pretty slow as I have a two year old, 4 year old and one on the way. I am a stay at home dad (originally not by choice) and have the kids help when they can. The load of wood on the trailer is for my dad to burn in his fireplace. I told him that unless he gets an insert soon, I do not want to give him any more choice wood, he doesnt think I am funny.
