8 cords of wood

This previous post showed the large rounds of wood that had been piled at our house for a while. The Boyd family worked 2 full days, wielding log splitters, chainsaws and various other dangerous implements. Some of the rounds were 4.5 feet in diameter. We had to use a 6 foot wrecking bar to inch the rounds onto the splitter.

Did we mention that 8 cords is 16 truckloads of wood -- all piled in front of our house. The Lord provides.




Luke and Silas carry the split wood to the wood pile.



Gideon is such a big help around the log splitter.



BEHOLD! Samuel, the king of the wood pile.



Josiah sports the latest fashion



What a cutie!

Unk Donk brought the tree down at one of his rentals, but Robin and Matt hauled it to our house in 4 or 5 trailer loads. Some of the rounds were so big that we had to use a wench to move them.
