I've been working at splitting this winter's firewood for the last few weeks and got it all done the other day. I cut it into rounds last fall and let it sit all winter then split it by hand for an hour or so each night. Splitting by hand is a lot of work but it's also quite enjoyable and a good work out.
We don't heat with wood but we do use our fireplace almost every night once it gets cold. The wood shed holds just a bit over two cords and I think we'll burn most of it this winter.
All of this wood is left over from when we created a meadow behind our house 2 years ago. Last fall we gave about 6 cords away, then we burned two ourselves last winter, then I just split and stacked this most recent two cords. If I had to guess, I'd say that I have another cord or two in log form as well as about 3/4 of a cord split and ready to stack. Not sure if I'll keep it all, give it away, or sell it. I guess we'll see!
