Getting An Early Start:

We are getting an early start for next winters firewood. Work slower; start earlier. The process is cut the dead tree down, cut it to firewood length, haul it home and stack it where we can access it with the log splitter, split it and toss it in the trailer, haul it to the wood shed and unload it and then stack it in the shed where it will remain dry. The photo above shows the 14" aspen that we cut down - waiting for splitting. There is more stacked behind those visible logs that needs to be split. In the bottom photo are two trailer loads that has been split and needs to be stacked. It is a long process which takes much longer nowadays than it used to when we used to be younger t
