It’s Survival of the Prepared!
All of the trees we’re chopping for this winter are those that fell in storms from last. Last year was one for storms!
First step: cut the root ball off and chop the tree into sections that the excavator can pull out.

Second step: Drag the tree to the area where we slice it into rounds and chop it

Third step: create a massive pile of chopped wood

Fourth step: stack the massive mound.

And finally! Sit back and enjoy the heat!
The dogs always get the best spots!
That's an amazing pile!
If we got an excavator like that, my wife would never run out of things for me to do with it!

Looks like a massive amount of wood. Will it last through the winter or will you have to buy more? The third dog looks a little outta place...LOL

That mountain was from 2 years ago. There was a cord and a half left over last summer when the weather got to the point where we didn't have to burn it to keep the house warm. Yeah, that particular dog is pretty good at mousing but really dawdles when we patrol the perimeter. Slows us all down.
