That looks a good load of firewood, Randy. Nicely stacked, nicely split, about the right size to dry well. Good for you.
I cut my own firewood every summer, about 5 cords, and it's always a lot of work and it involves some risk of getting hurt, so I am always extremely careful and deliberate about how I work. It takes me at least two months to cut and split and stack that much firewood, but it gets us through the winter. We have electrical heat in my studio and a heat pump in the house, so we can get by without any wood heat, but having a fire makes things so much more comfortable. And, it saves on electricity by a significant amount every year. All my wood comes from my own property, all downed trees, so there is no waste and I'm not denuding my own forest property.
