Great idea, can't wait to see the "Kindlet Station" next to the greenhouse. Nice linear process. It's been sunny, blue skies, no rain here. The relative humidity has been very low, yesterday was 27% relative humidity. Moved some split BBQ cherry wood out into the full sun, Mr. sunshine is drying it out quickly. Splitting more today. Tomorrow one or two cherry trees are hitting the ground...gotta think ahead, to stay ahead.

Dan,thank goodness you have a great 👍 friend like Rick who is willing to help you out with different issues that you might run into with the wood 🪵 yard now things will be smoother for producing mini firewood 😮😊❤

Nice job Dan. Planning this and trying ideas work great. If you have the ability, you should put sides around the panels so you can put more wood on them and not worry about it falling off - just an idea. Stay safe.
@Back40Firewood2 ай бұрын
Thanks...yep I've got a few ideas for some type of sides on those big grates.

It's tough keeping the bucket level and not digging down while moving ahead. It wasn't the greatest but it made it better than it was. 😀

Thanks...yeah gonna be fun with the Hickory, that stuff is some hard wood but the Kindlet should handle it.

Looking Great Dan, It takes years to get the yard the way you want it. Keeping our yard half way clean is a big job, The best way to learn skills in the skid steer is get in seat, everybody starts somewhere, your doing great. Keep the sawdust flying @alaskawoodyard, Cheers
@Back40Firewood2 ай бұрын
Thanks! Yes it does take awhile to get things in the right spot...and then when you think everything is where it needs to be a new idea will surface about how things might be better in a different position....hahahahaha. But that's what makes it fun sometimes.

Heck yeah shifty, looks way better lined up with the wood shed. I agree with another comment to make some mesh baskets that fit into the space on the shelves. Then you maximize your storage space.
@Back40Firewood2 ай бұрын
Thanks....yeah definitely looks better like this and yes I think I need to figure out something for a type of wire mesh basket.

Sometimes the easiest method is the old hand work. Machines are almost always useful, but this was doable the ol' fashioned way. Well done.

Yep, sometimes using equipment makes it more complicated and actually more time consuming.

Hahaha...yeah no kidding, but there's still a long ways to go. Getting the woodyard organized is one thing, getting the main operator to know what he's doing is another.

Get some old milk cases....... they are excellent storage containers. Extremely stackable and almost indestructable.

Wasn't bad...liked the controls of it, just would need a few more days running it to get used to it more. Didn't like the blind spots however...lol
@TittleCreekOutdoors2 ай бұрын
I would make some mesh baskets to hold the wood from the time it's split to packing that way your not having to touch the wood as much.
@Back40Firewood2 ай бұрын
That's a good idea, I think I'll look into making some sort of wire mesh tote/basket. Costco boxes are nice, but wire baskets would be the ticket.

Why not place a black heavy duty Harbor Freight tarp on the ground in the greenhouse to increase the effectiveness of the drying process in two ways! 🤔🤔🤔
@Back40Firewood2 ай бұрын
The ground is really dry back there and I'm not sure I'd wanna be walking in and out and over a tarp all the time. It should do fine without one.
