Years ago, we had some trees cut down. These were 100 year old oaks that were easily over 60 feet tall. I toyed with the idea of them leaving the wood for me to cut up into firewood for our wood stove. The guy talked me out of it by mentioning how much wood it would be. "About 6 or 7 cords of wood all at once!" he said. Ever since, I've wondered if I made the right decision. Especially around this time of year when I often order seasoned firewood ahead of the winter season.
Late last spring, a medium sized tree fell into my father-in-law's backyard:
We chain sawed it into bite sized chunks and I brought them back to my place over the course of several visits:
Over the summer, I've axed my way though the pieces and it wound up being about 1/2 a cord:
I guess maybe I do feel better about that decision years ago even if I don't think I'll order any additional firewood for this winter...
