Getting ready for winter!

Gone But Not Forgotten
Butch asked me if I had my wood ready for winter yet. Not ready but at least it is here. With propane prices as high as they are I burned slab wood all summer to heat my hot water. I have 2 big truck loads of slab wood piled up with the backhoe and got 5 truckloads of logs as well as about 5 pickup loads of butt pieces from cleaning up the landing area where they logged. I am swapping my hay for the Amish boys cutting and splitting it. Have a few other Amish who owe me some help and they will also help. We use my 20 ton splitter for the big nasty stuff and the rest they do with a maul. It is amazing how fast they can do it up. They keep me running all day with my skid steer moving it to the wood shed where they stack it. I want to expand my woodshed 10 FT. and have an area at the back 4 ft. for coal for the greenhouse stove.

I thought I had a nice big log pile but... I've been out-classed.
 
I read a winter forcast for the temps and snowfall... Temps very cold like last year, snowfall that will range from average to double normal, depending on location.

I don't burn wood, but I have enough propane contracted to avoid the situation of last year when LP got as high as $6/gal in late January.

Tip.. If you burn porpane call your supplier and get the price set on the expected use now. Wet corn in the midwest this harvest will drive up prices, for sure.

Hellfire Muley, if I needed that much wood to make it through the winter, I'd move to someplace warmer. Only don't make it Texas. It's getting 'way too crowded down here already. :yum:

Not to worry Frank. If I moved anywhere it would be to the hills of N.C. to harass Squerly.....:whistling:
