Stacking wood all day is a days work!
Having worked professionally
in technology for over 12 years it has become harder to judge a days work. I mean there are times that I have been working for over 16 hours straight and I mean really working pounding out code with minor breaks for nature. But at the end of a lot of my work there are some text files that a computer somewhere does stuff with. It can be hard to look back and feel a sense of accomplishment or know that you did a good days work.
Yesterday I started getting ready for winter. Since we moved up north we now have a wood stove and well … it needs wood to burn. I found a place that had decent maple wood for $75 a face cord (stack of wood 4 feet high by 8 feet long). But that was not delivered. So I had to pick it up with a trailer.
The good news about picking up the wood by hand is that you get select your wood. Sometimes when you get wood delivered some of it is crap. The bad news is that each the trailer only holds one face cord so that means lots of trips and lots of loading/stacking and unloading/stacking.
I also needed to make some storage racks for the wood as we need about 9-10 face cords for the winter and our wood sheds holds only 4 face cords.
Well here is the result of 3/4 of a days work (3 face cords):
