My neighbor lad and I had stacked the majority of the wood a couple weeks ago, but there was still a small pile left to stack. We finished stacking that wood Wednesday evening. Total came to a pile 40 feet long and 4 feet high, plus a 6x3 foot quantity placed on a rack inside my shop in hopes of seasoning it quicker out of the weather and taking advantage of the heat from the stove to dry it.
Believe me when I say that neither Aiden or I were disappointed to throw the last piece on the wood pile. It certainly did not look as though there was that much firewood when it was in blocks before I split it.
When I fire up the stove in the shop I can put 4 large chunks of wood in at a time. I can work with the fire blazing for 4 or 5 hours on about 8 chunks of firewood. Bottom line is that their will probably be enough wood to fire that stove in the garage, and campfire wood to take with us camping, for longer than I may live to use it.
Lesson learned: When a tree service asks how much firewood you would like them to cut and leave, don't EVER say "however much you guys feel like cutting." I guess I grossly underestimated how much firewood three ambitious young men with chainsaws would cut.
