My land clearing guy left me two dozen oak trees from the lot I had cleared. It surprised me how big they looked once they were down. I'll be busy this winter.
Yowza
Thats alotta cutting before you can split?
I hope its not blocking the spot you’re building on?
That looks like a year or 2 of work???

Fortunately it's out of the way. I've taken 2 weeks off during the holidays to recover from all the uhaul trips between NY and VA over the past two months. The cutting starts next week and while it's hard work cutting and splitting (by hand) it's my kind of therapy. Happy New Year!

While in graduate school, my across the street neighbor was a tree surgeon and he knew I enjoyed splitting wood to clear my mind. Every term during exam week, he'd drop off a load of logs for me, something really appreciated.
I especially enjoyed splitting locust on a very cold morning. Slamming down the axe correctly on that long- grained wood would yield perfect splits, while singing "I'm a lumberjack & I'm OK..."

I'll take care of ya. Might cost you a beer though. ;)
just ordered another cord of wood - wood shed half done
How much is a cord going for down here?
Im guessing with the snow and cold you are burning more than normal???
well the cold anyway - but it is normally about time to reorder anywho - went through about 1 cord - 1/2 of what I started with - haven't had any snow but one small dusting - don't really expect anymore more either - that's one reason I live here - don't want the Devil Dust
Go through about 2.5 cords a season - time to reorder & whatever isn't used goes toward next season - I've really only got about another 6 weeks of burning before it start getting too warm to burn. I notced this afternoon that I've already got Hyacinths coming through the ground.
Might be time to bump up the Spring Watch thread.

Ya might wanna check some weather sites and look into the current potential forecast map coming up for your area.
I put the picture in the weather thread and don't want to double post it here....
Thats a small dusting?
yeah - it was about 2 to 3 inches but was gone the next day - like it never snowed - didn't even have to break out the broom to clear the walk

yeah - the Bay & Atlantic keep the air during the winter a bit warmer - snow line usually seems to stop at the western side of Chesapeake
A couple of inches. Not too bad and like Wader sd gone in a day.
