Went out of town for the weekened to my grandfather's place with my father. He had several dead trees cut down so they wouldn't fall on his house, but they were left as huge logs in his drive way. So over the course of Friday-Saturday we cut them into smaller logs and split them. He now has enough firewood to last him the rest of his life and that's no exaggeration.
The logs we split averaged between 2 and 3 foot in diameter and were EXTREMELY dense. The resulting pile of split wood is about 4 feet high, 15 feet wide and 18 feet long. Needless to say I have muscles hurting that I didn't even know existed.
We have to go back in another couple of weeks to do some more because we only managed to clear away one tree.
