Project: Firewood stock pile!!

I got a new toy a few months ago, figured I would cut, split my own firewood to save money. The logs I get arent seasoned well, but it only takes a few months to season once they are split.
This is the new toy

First delivery of wood, After I cut it


Break time, enjoy the view

Split pile #1 of this delivery

Of course I failed to take a picture of the second pile after it was all split.
Part #2, Build wood racks. Part of the second pile is in this shot. This part of my yard used to be trees and a dog run from a previous owner, I started clearing this 3 years ago and this is the first year I can use it for the firewood!


Stacking the wood:






Part #3, build a base to the tree for another row and stack


The wood racks and wood stacking was done in 2 days (thank god it went quick) I still have 3/4 of pile #1 to stack and another load already cut waiting to be split. More wood racks to come along with more splitting and stacking!

looks great, but a good way to cut and split wood is to move to a warm winter climate and then there is NO Need to do all that.

 

Lol... I wish man!

 

Damn how much of that will be left next spring?

 

Not much will be left. My wife always says she is cold and we burn alot of friggin wood!

 

Sounds like mine I keep the thermostat set at 70-72 year round and every winter she screams it's too cold in here. So I tell her to go get a blanket.

 

Yeah I have to do that, tell her to get a blanket. It get ridiculous sometimes! I think its comfortable, she starts a fire and I sweat my nuts off!

 

The stack is finished, still have half a pile to stack from the first load (Giggity). Tomorrow will be more wood racks to build, and stack the first of the split pile.


This is the second load (Giggity) Ready for splitting once the other split wood is stacked.

 

looks like work, but at least you have enough for the long weekend coming up!!!
I hear it has been cold up there again

 

Yeah cold, 8 days straight of rain...it sucks but better than snow!

 

yeah i hear you about the rain.... we got 6 days of it then a little cold spell now they are calling for a week of t-storms.... yay me....

 

you two have crappy cold wet weather , sorry to hear that.
then HUMIDITY sets in sorry again guys

 

LOL, yeah look at us bitchin, Craig is having a new roof and AC unit put on. I say we move into Craigs house!

 

Pretty impressive man, keep it goin.

 

Thanks, yeah its goin and I'm getting tired lol

 

rain , rain go away come back another day, that is Clintons new favorite song!!!

can you do a panarama shot of all the wood stacks and holders you made or are they spread out too far.?

 

I would have to charge more for rent to cover the cost of the roof and a/c unit

 

lets go i think i should beable to get my cards for out there and make a lil bit more cash than i make where i'm at now... lol

 

One nice day is all I had. I had to bust my ass in between taking the kids to school and picking them up. 1 more wood rack made, 13'Lx6'H and stacked all the wood from the first delivery. The other racks were leveled off a little more as well.
This is the rack. I had to build a little more supports for it just to make sure it was solid enough to take on more weight from the other rack. After 8 straight days of rain, the mosquitos were real bad. So I brought the little fire pit over and smoked them out.





Oh yeah, Thank god for a good neighbor too! All the wood for the new racks were donated by him. The green will be pressure washed off

 

that is a ****load of wood. looks nice and neat too!!! good job
