Hope it's in my blood because if it's in my sweat I'm about tapped out! Split just over half the rounds this am,  taking a break then back to it.

Well, the last two rounds from the base are more than half rot....leaving them be. Not sure how much I split but I'm tired.

Good job, looks like you got 1/2 a seasons worth there, now get it stacked correctly and covered so it dries!!!
You know that wood will of heated you 4x by the time you burn it  :chuckle:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Indeed....lotta work but its good knowing I'm on the home stretch. I'm going to cut up all the limbs for outdoor burning and have a nice pile of scraps and some of the more rotten wood for burning in the fire pit as well. Its coming along for sure.

That's a nice stack of wood you have.  :tup:

How many cords?

A chord is 4'x4'x8'.  A standard pallet like you have them stacked on is 40"x48".  If you stacked on 2 pallets wide x 2 pallets long it's about 3 chord.

Nice. I got a pretty good pile for outdoor burning, some slash wood to cut, then the limbs for outdoor also. Feel goid having the bulk of it done and stacked.

Looks like 2 pallets wide by 4 long, that would be 4.95 cords.

Boss, remember a chord of wood is 128 cubic feet.  He has 4 pallets, so 8x8 at the base and 6 feet tall.  To calculate a cord of wood simple multiply Width x Height x Length and divide that by 128. That will tell you how many cords you have.  So he has 8x8x6=384 cubic feet  384/128=3 chords
