I don't clean collards, change my own oil, or slipt wood. That's why God made money and young'uns! Z

Re: Ok...............Who is gonna help me????

Kids don't need to earn a few bucks these days- they're all spoiled brats who don't know what work is!

These days, you wouldn't want a local kid splitting wood. They've never used an axe, wedge, or maul before. They're just as liable to injure themselves as get any wood split, then sue your xxx off.
Bu!!$h!t

I take every dang job I get, and to be honest, I get out and split wood just to relax. I would love to find a job splitting wood. Just, Wisconson is to far to ride my bike after school.:D We have the equivalent of about 3 of your loads (our truck brought it home in one:D) laying in the yard, and if it wasn't up the high 90's and 100's, I would split it all. I started doing it a couple weeks ago, and dad thought I was crazy, and told me to wait until it cooled a bit. It ain't to hot for me.

Hey Pony, I am sure I ain't the only one like me in the world. If you have a maul, or a wedge and sledge, you outta be able to find someone.

Those big ones are a pain in the neck though. Back before we had a big enough maul (basically a big wedge shaped hunk of steel, welded to a 1 1/2 inch round tubin'.) I got pissed a log about that size, and put it in the hydraulic press, with the wedge. Worked just fine, but takes time. I got the log split though:D

I keep a cord on hand in my basement..... just in case I lose power in the winter. I have a wood stove hooked into the forced hot air ducts. I just don't have the time to burn it with the work schedule but when the urge hits... I fire up the stove on a weekend. It always seems to peak at 80+ around 2 am but the heat is nice and coonstant.

My 1000 gal oil tank is full.

My neighbor installed an outside wood furnace and runs his baseboard heat and hot water off it. Nice system and will handle 4 foot long logs. Not much to split.
