Free wood is still work.

Last week my friend Erik called and said that he found some free firewood on Craig's list. So I agreed to help go get it. It amounted to 11 logs all 10 to 20 inches in diameter and about 8 feet in length. Sorry no pics of the pile, I didn't think of it. On Friday I was able to help for a few hours before bowling. We got a good start. Erik ran the saw while I split and loaded the trucks for the most part. We didn't loaf about and got alot done in about 3 hours. Erik went back for another load friday afternoon. I bowled really well, consistent and over average. I must of been all loosened up.
Saturday we met back up at 9am to finish. Couldn't quite get it in one load in both trucks. So while Erik went back for the last of it, I unloaded my truck at home, had lunch and then went over to Erik's to finish splitting a heck of a pile of wood.
Here's the pile to still be split after we had allready split a bunch.

Erik taking a load to be stacked for drying.

And stack it right here for drying.

We quit about sundown, could of worked well into the night. The moon was huge, a supermoon they said, very cool.

This is what was left to be split and stacked on sunday, plus the last load still in Erik's truck.

By the end of the day sunday I was back home with another load of wood.

I ended up with about one and a half face cords. It's wet now but just give it a year or so and it will be just fine for burning.
I saved the blue plastic that covered my boat last year and reused it for covering my wood stacks. I don't like to have the plastic directly on the wood, but with snow coming (finally) it will have to do. I will rework it another day. I'm using rods and bungees right now to hold the plastic in place, it seems to work well. A few rocks also.

It's Dec 4th and 46 degrees today with 100 percent humidity, I can't see across the lake.

They say that is all going to change when the front comes through. We'll see if they are right this time.
Saw the deer this morning munching on acorns in the yard, I hope they eat them all by spring.
That's all from here for now.
Please feel free to leave a comment, I do enjoy them.
