Well we really started cutting firewood in earnest this last week. I believe we cut four out of seven days and we cut a bunch of wood. For the first few days of the week it was just me and my dad cutting but than later in the week a friend of mine came up and the two of us went and cut. When we are cutting, actually afterwards when the trucks are loaded and we are headed home it is fun to see the looks on peoples faces when they see how much wood we have cut. For example my pickup sits about two feet off of the ground when empty. After we have loaded it with wood it sits around a foot off the ground their is so much weight in it. We sometimes use a trailer to haul if we are cutting farther from our house since it can hold more and that way we don't have to take as many trips.
This is what a we cut Saturday afternoon. A buddy and I started cutting at about 1:00p.m. and we got back to my house around 6:00p.m. we thought it was pretty good afternoons work. To give you a scale of how tall those stacks are, the side boards on the trailer are two feet tall and the ramp on the back is four feet tall. Now I just need to get it all split.
Wow, that is a lot of wood! Guess you were pretty glad to see the colder weather and snow come!
