At my age, it is not fun trying to put up a bunch of wood in a 3 or 4 day period. 
My wood is largely oak and maple, with a little birch and possibly ash thrown in. All is cut to exactly 16 inches and split. |
Every time I go by your homestead and see all that wood, I say to myself, I'm glad I do not have to stack all that wood and the next time I go by it has all disappeared. I have a hard time just doing my 2 cords. So mot it be...
