MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME!

[@GlenKent-n8n]

And tomorrow you will have a kink in the neck, a pain in your back, and a creek in your knees. The fun and joy of an excellent days work. Most of today’s youth would not even attempt four cords in a day. I did it once as a young man just to see if I could do it. No hydraulic splitter it took me 20 hours. 30 years ago I was getting 75 dollars a cord. Y’all are an inspiration. Great content. Have a wonderful day!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks! And all of that was true lol It didn't last long thankfully though

[@westwindcharters9146]

I love it..... Stiff 20 years ago..... Always was a great way to start the day...... I'm not sure that I can remember that far back..... Phil, you made me laugh......

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

I figured someone would get a kick outa that lol .

[@hankjordan2602]

I’m like James it doesn’t get any better. I’m in my 70’s I see the sunrise every morning if it’s not cloudy up early every morning.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

We're seeing the sunrise more often lately with the days being so short!

[@famasmaster2000]

I cant get over how efficient that splitter is, just awesome

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

We put alot of thought into building that splitter . Having it fast is nice but having the pieces fall off after each split into the conveyor instead of having to push them down the table is probably the best feature on it . Now i just need a self loading table so i dont have to stop to load the table every 10 min lol.

[@famasmaster2000]

It is pure awesome 👌

[@Mainelywork]

🤘Awesome work you two. I like the light as well

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks Jeff the light is a must these days!

[@Mainelywork]

@@AllenFamilyFirewood yeah. I am trying to figure out something for my greenhouse so I can split there after 4:00. No power run there so it will have to be battery powered or generator

[@davidshadwick-kd1ey]

Your both kicked some major butt today. Way to get it done. I’m impressed.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks David! But we think the woodyard kicked our butts!! lol Thanks for watching!

[@davidlibby7230]

Very efficient work. Looks like you made up for the lost time. The two of you work well together. I like the way you stack on pallets that can be moved and dumped. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks David! yes those pallets work really well for our process Happy Thanksgiving to you and thanks for always watching and commenting

That is a long day and a lot of work. Good work both of you!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks a lot Chip! We really appreciate that, thanks for watching!

[@jameschandler2776]

You are walking like I feel most days. I am in my 70's, it doesn't get any better. I very seldom see the crack of dawn anymore. I don't sleep well and usually get up at the crack of 11 am. I love the way the 2 of you work together. Cutting wood for me was always therapeutic and allowed me to buy and use professional saws. I sold just enough to pay for my equipment.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

We usualy get up with the sun but it takes a good hr an sometimes 2 before i can move good enuf to head down to the woodyard but once i get going i just want to keep going . Splitting wood just makes me feal good an keeps me in shape well sort of lol.

[@joeahopelto8032]

I am able to see the big 80 on the horizon! It does not get any easier. The older we get the more excuses we have for slowing down. I guess the younger generations can use the wisdom we have accumulated over the decades. 😊

Sure lights the place up an we even got Karen a lil one for stacking . Thanks Eddie

[@clarencedobsonjr.2585]

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Im tellin ya it just dont ever end . Got home tonight an the head lights on my truck wont shut off an the house is cold because of a faulty computer board that runs the heat zones in the house . I took the neg off the truck battery an hot wired the controler so we could have heat .

[@Chucky-b7v]

Hi Phil and Karen. Phil you look like how I feel most days after cutting and splitting a few rounds and I’m 65 lol. Take care you two, there’s always tomorrow and we would all miss you if you over do it a bit to much. Great video as usual. Oh my goodness, what a day! Who’s cooking dinner tonight? Absolutely mega effort…..

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks Wayne! we definitely won't be doing that again anytime soon lol and neither one of us cooked dinner! we picked it up on the way home

What a marathon of firewood. Great work made me tired watching. Great Video Allen family 👍🪵

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks Bob no doubt it was a long day even for me after 10 hrs of moving rounds an trying to keep up with that splitter im usually starting to fade fast

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Long, busy, productive day. You’ll be feeling that for a while!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

We got home that night at 9:00 an realized we had also had a video come out that day so i stayed up till 1 am answering comments lol. Late start the the next day an a few advil to get me going but right back at it . I was just happy we made it a hole day with out any thing breaking .

You're too kind Bill thanks for watching!

[@jameschandler2776]

Of all the KZbin channels I watch, and all the people I have known that cut wood, your pallet storage system for your wood is the best idea I have seen. How is that thumb doing and what is the story on your truck? You guys are amazing.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

I figured the pallet set up 25 yrs ago from another guy that did it that way an it just works great . The thumb is doing ok other than it still wont bend . The truck well lets just say it starts most of the time but not when ya really need it to an when i got home tonight the lights wouldnt shut off so i had to take the neg off the battery and the house was cold because of a bad computer board that controls the heat zones in the house so right now i have it hot wired so it cant shut off lol. Just a typical day for me .

[@jameschandler2776]

WOW, if it wern't for bad luck, you would have no luck at all. Sorry things aren't going better. If you can, get a Toyota Tundra, but not the new one with the turbo charger. I have owned 4 and they have been trouble free. Just normal maintenance.@@AllenFamilyFirewood

[@dono9879]

Hello Phil and Karen. You guys definitely broke your backs today in that wood yard. I hope Karen is getting double time for overtime. With all the subscribers you have now hope your getting some offers for demo equipment. Maybe a Tractor with a grapple on it to make things a little easier handling those logs or maybe a splitter that you can put a whole log on it that cuts the rounds and splits them. You have to start soliciting some of these companies for the equipment to make your life easier. Thanks for another good video.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks DonO...we work hard, but we shall see. We have enough to keep us busy every day and trying to keep up with that is a full time job! lol

Nice work wish had pile wood here to work on. Normally winter sets in before now. I just do wood for me so no need to do it when it hot or cold. This definitely perfect fire wood weather.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

I love it when its between 25 an 35 degrees out because im not sweating . Nice cool weather i can just stay steady an not be over heated an worn out .

[@robertseter4329]

Very long day! I feel you guys pain. Fused lower back and knees that need replaced. Doc said I was too young 5 years ago at 42 to replace them. 🤣 Y'all had a productive day, I would agree with others, too long of a day. I usually only get between half and a full cord done in a day. Most days, I only work on wood for 3 or 4 hours. Some days, I don't get any done, either family stuff, weather, or in too much pain. I'm glad to see no breakdowns! Stay safe and keep laughing! 😁

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks Eric I hear ya on the back issues my Cusin dropped a tree on me 25 yrs ago and broke it in 4 places . Not being active is what hurts the most . We shoot for 2 cord a day but with picking up wood an delivering wood an all the breakdowns lately it’s Ben more like 5 cord a week .

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Wow I bet my neighbors would be mad if I decided to go aft dark like this.. but I understand got to keep going 😁👍

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Well i did bring them a half cord of wood the other day for free as kinda a thanks for putting up with me lol. The lady that lives there is in her 70s an said she enjoys sitting in her window an watching us but i still figure i should wait till 7 am an not go much past 8 pm just to be neighborly . It gets dark here now at 4:30 an the sun dont come up till 7 am so gota make to most outa what lil daylight we have .

There are timesI use that same technique to get the forks in to the pallets. Nice work you two!

Outstanding day but don’t think y’all need any more of them. Safety health first. Keep splitting.

Thanks James i agree . To be honest 4 cords split an stacked is a breaze but having to cut it up adds alot of time an also trying to video all of it adds alot of time as well ,

[@NeighborlyHomestead]

Do you have someone make up those brackets that you attach to the pallets for the boards? That is a neat setup for storage.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Yes there is a local metal fab shop that makes them for us . I think way back in a video we had called custom half cord pallets we showed how we build them an the contact info for the place that makes them for us . The best part of them pallets is we attatch a chain to the pallet an the forks so we can dump them in to the trailer at delivery time .

Guys that’s way too long of a day. Just a suggestion. When my back is strained I use Voltaren cream, it’s a miracle. If you haven’t used it try it. I am not sponsored either. Just a friendly suggestion. Get something to eat and go to bed. I couldn’t do that any more. Take care Rest up. Who knows what’s happening tomorrow.
