You will be surprised what a few years difference will make. I am also
thinking of now as a base knowing the next 20 years will have their own
affect.
I helped cut and split six large logs this last summer. Most were wind
blown Oak and a couple of Hickories. We used a chain saw to section the
logs then a splitter. It was a several hour job for three of us. Not
particularly difficult, just hard work. Many years ago I spent two long
days cutting and splitting a log truck load of logs. I was much younger but
still ached for several days after.
The intervening years were spent at an office job so not splitting with a
maul is a job best left to those who want to do it that way.
Go to Sept 22 to see what we were doing.
