By the way, I really like those wagon wheels lining the drive. Is this your property? Very pretty

Yep, its a lot of fun. You learn pretty quick how to be handy with an axe. Those wagon wheels belong to the neighbors. They are practically an landmark here in Dinwiddie county. You can give someone directions and ask if they know the house with a metal wagon wheel fence and they know exactly where you are.

When you cool off (after working up a sweat), go inside, light a fire and warm up (again).

uh...sorry hehe

Enjoy your workout!!!

For me, splitting wood was much better than cleaning cow poo out of the barn. Now that was NASTY!

I also have (and still do) split lots of wood.

It is a great way to blow off steam. Each log I set up I envision one of my problem customers or employees. Then I yell "This is your head" and down comes the maul.

Great excercise but well worth the when you can relax in front of the fire.

I miss the exercise but I don't miss the mess! We switched over to a pellet stove three years ago and I love it! Less mess, no more shoveling out the fireplace. Just vacuum up the ashes every other week or so and no more black widows coming in with the fire wood! Just dump a 40 lb bag of pellets or corn in the hopper and its good for the whole day if not longer. We heat about 90% of the house with it.

Default Let off steam?

Hello,
I just had to reply. This is my first reply to this forum actually. I let off steam from my other hobby. Which is homebrewing. I started homebrewing beer 2 years ago. Nothing like making your own beer, and cheaper too. Now with Metal Detecting, i can have a homebrew while cleaning my finds lol. Who knows, maybe that clad will come out better soaking in homebrew? It's an idea lol.
