Over the past two weeks I have wheelbarrowed 367, 20-inch or so lengths of firewood up three hills from my neighbor’s yard next door. Sometimes I can get three into the wheelbarrow; sometimes one is plenty. For fun, I weighed one and it was 119 pounds. Some are lighter. Some I cannot lift. Some I need to split so I can load them. But I will have to wait until they dry. I guestimate four cords of white oak and a little cherry.
367 x 119 pounds = 43,673 pounds of too-soon-to-burn firewood -- maybe for 2012; for sure for 2013.
I haven't felt the need for exercise during this time.
Come for a visit this winter. You will not need a sweater. Come next year too, when these logs are dry and stoveworthy.
