Wedding last year and one this year and lost a ton of access to cut was a lot of the reason. I wish my only responsibility was to cut, haul and stack firewood. Lmao

The lack of respect from these young whipper-snappers these days. Invite him over for a beer then tell him to get off your lawn!
It’s all good. You said long ago before I retired that I’d wonder how I got anything done, “NO TRUER STATEMENT.”The lack of respect from these young whipper-snappers these days. Invite him over for a beer then tell him to get off your lawn!
I’ve gotten a lot of projects done over the last 2 years and knowing I was gone 50-60 hours a week makes me scratch my head as to when I’d have had time to do them. Lol
Let the boiler go out a couple days ago. Just about out of firewood. It's warm. It was time to shut her down. I've got to do a lot of gathering before next year.
I’m going to let mine burn out and switch over to propane(full tank) to conserve what firewood I have left(1.5-2 cord) for next year.
No clue. Didn't measure the piles. Added some as the season progressed. I'd say it was my lightest winter of firewood consumption ever. 5-10 cords? Probably 6-8 is a close guess.
I didn’t measure either but a shit load regardless of the mild winter. Figure at least 8-9 cords.
Propane heat is ok but it couldn’t hold a candle to boiler hardwood heat.
I started getting ready for winter this week
I prefer to cut in February and March but I was to busy shed hunting

Restocked a few weeks ago. Just for firepits.
I've been cutting on a huge pile of logs that the Township cut from the road frontage I have on my property (their easement) back in February of 2021. I'm down to about another 3 or so loads, which is about two cords. My log splitter has been parked there under a tarp for over a year now. I got tired of hauling wood home and making that mess in my yard or hauling the splitter back and forth. I went today to cut and split a trailer load and discovered when I got there that my splitter was gone. I was just over there last Sunday mowing. Had to be a local as this not a heavily traveled road. I did have a pad lock on the tongue, but I knew that was not much of an anti-theft measure. Still pisses me off that some fuckwad would steal something worth so little. I paid less than $1000 for it new 15 years ago from TSC. I got my money's worth of use out of it and so did some of my friends. Hoping my homeowners insurance will cover it. I'm getting a new splitter, either way. Open to suggestions, but the old Husky did a helluva job for me with little to no maintenance.
Been getting nervous. I have enough wood for a week or so. Schedule is slammed. Have a few small trees to clean up sitting here or there. Might get me a few weeks. Yesterday I called about getting log loads of wood. Pricey. Today I called a guy I know. Not for firewood. It was a follow up to see how he was doing after a surgery. He has a tree service and is back to work. He said they've been taking their wood to the mulch place for them to grind. Asked if I wanted any and if it mattered if it was green or dead. I gave him two locations to dump and told him it was a true blessing. Probably work out for them (his brother is a business partner) too. Their parents are walking distance from my house and they are in the area often. The other location they can dump is only a couple miles from their shop. Clean living and trusting I will be taken care of has paid off again. Thank you Jesus.
