Splitting firewood

My father in law brought over a 1/2 cord of firewood at the house warming party.  Since the wheelbarrow was busted, it took me 2 hours moving it piece by piece from the pickup truck in the front to the back of the house.  For computer desk jockey - ouch.

My first time stacking.  Don’t think I did too bad of a job.  Course I had to look up on youtube how to stack firewood (nerd).  The crossing pieces at the ends thing was a good idea.  I called my builder and he recommended a couple 4x4’s to use as a base for the stack.  Yes, when you code for a living, you may find yourself inept at the basics in life.

I’ve been having fun splitting the firewood with an axe.  Making it a workout by doing it in 15 minute increments.  That way is burns nicely in the fireplace and stacks nice in the log cradle.

It’s fun working with my hands instead of my head.

Always lots to learn in life.
