We bought a log splitter!

Time to pile wood!
Up until we moved here our main source of heat was oil or propane, so splitting fire wood for the occasional wood stove fire was done by axe and a manual foot pumped log splitter.  Yesterday we broke down and decided it was time to purchase a log splitter to help us split the logs we find lying in our forests, as now our only source of heat is our wood stove. We know its not the off grid way, nor is it helping reduce our carbon footprint but when you have eight young children to care for and enough chores around the homestead to fill your day the last thing you want to be doing is swinging an axe in the cold temperatures of the evening or in horrible weather.
So after a long day of assembling the heavy 22 ton log splitter and splitting two cords of wood, its now time to make dinner and prepare for another day of Christmas baking on the homestead.
