What a workout! We towed the splitter to the wood this time, and tipped it up so we didn’t have to lift the log rounds onto it. Even placing the huge chunks of very wet heavy oak onto the base of the splitter was daunting. The machine moaned and grunted as it reduced it all to nice pieces for stacking in the wood shed. Several times water almost sprayed from the log rounds as the wedge was forced in, splitting them regardless of their having any ideas to the contrary.All the chain sawing over these past weeks of intermittent work took a little less than one gallon (3.8 litres) of fuel. Splitting probably took a bit more, so the efficiency was very high.
Just putting this full truckbed of wood away in the shed took over an hour. We are going to take a break for a while!

Hot diggity dog! Must feel good to have all that behind you, at least for this year.
We're going to be cutting stuff this weekend too, working on the fire perimeter. That is, if we can still walk on Friday after our feasting tomorrow.
