      Hope you have a hydraulic splitter. That looks like a 3-day weekend project to split and stack it all.

        If you have to split all that wood this time every year, I imagine your Windchill or Creo version upgrades will be scheduled in another season. 😁

                Wow, I'm glad I live in Sub-tropical Houston where winters are usually just a little less hot!

                I've been in sub-tropical Houston in December begging my brother-in-law to turn on the AC for us notherners because it was in the 80's with 90 percent humidity. At night it might dip into the high sixties and we'd go for a walk in our shorts and t-shirts while my sister-in-law might consider putting on a sweater...  🙂

                  ... other than @TomU , can anyone recognize/name the landmark peeking over the wood pile in front of the front door?

                      One year I bought one of these! Took several years but I finally burned through it all. I think it was mostly used for s'mores and not really for heat!

                          My back is hurting just thinking about it.

                          Was 95 degrees here in houston yesterday...luckily we have a COLD front moving thru today. Uppers 80's tomorrow...Brrrrr....busting out the winter shorts!

                          My teenagers helped with the yardwork yesterday...
