Splittin' Wood

Although folks tried to get Hubby to go elsewhere over the weekend, I put my foot down, and told him the "boss" says he cannot go.  We are behind in splitting wood, and several trees need cut up now, one that fell over on it's own already (more on that one later).

 
Remember that load of "free" wood that was delivered while we were in South Carolina?

Well, here is that same pile of monstrosity size wood today.  The photo really doesn't show all of it either.

(in progress)

You can see some of the largest pieces have been cut and split already.  The pieces we cut late yesterday, will be this morning's splitting work.

We have no shortage of wood supply this year.  In fact, I have a few folks with trees that we can have once we have our own trees cut down.  Wood supply is a blessing this year.

It's taking about two of us to roll the cut pieces to the splitter, but we're getting it cut and stacked.  I have three girls who have been delegated to haul and stack, so Hubby and I can get this job done efficiently (and timely).

I got up early to get the fire stoked, and to spend some time reading blogs, but Hubby is up super early making me his famous bacon omelet.  I think he's fired up to get the wood splitting done as snow is heading our way, and we still need to put in our snow fences.

Hubby has had to buy a new blade for the borrowed chainsaw, and even sharpened it a few times.  They must not make blades the way they used to years ago, because they seem to wear out so quickly nowadays.
