Saturday was the day to split and stack firewood, only we didn't get to the stacking part yet. We are a little late with it this year (the rains have already come), because Steve was without a chain saw...and time. Dale Williams, a friend from church, brought over his splitter. The three of us worked for 4 hours.
Steve staged log rounds, Dale split them, and I tossed them onto the pile. We didn't stack yet for two reasons...Steve is doing some work on the stairway behind us, under which we normally stack, and Jeff and Diane, our expert stack-ers (pastor & wife) were otherwise occupied on Saturday. (They like the exercise, too.)
So the pile grew from this...
...to this. 4 cords, maybe? Hope it will be enough for an Idaho winter at 5,000 ft. Fortunately, we get the wood mostly free from the camp and surrounding forest ($10/cord for the tag). Thank you, Dale, for giving up your Saturday to help us out.
