Mornin! Lucky sucker, but it pays to know a guy. I’m sure Bert has already put eyes on that very nice opportunity with equipment and sheds to park them under. Looking forward to what happens next.
I'm catching up on some of those old videos you keep telling people to go and look at ;) - I think you made a good and fair deal for both of you. Now i will go and look and see if you did any videos of moving all the wood!
The moving of the logs will be fun to watch. I enjoyed watching the woodyard move and this will be sort of the same. Gather the crew and get it done before the snow hits.
Very interesting liked how you measured the logs p.s. I just bought 22 cords of mable logs lots of chain saw cutting and splitting.Great showing and talking love it 🏆🤔
Really cool video Chris! Really appreciated tagging along on this one and seeing how you’d go about scaling small piles 🔥💯👍. Definitely some good items there that would work great for you In The Woodyard for sure! Andrew from NB :)
Firstly hope you’re feeling better soon🥲 Looks like a fair deal for 20 arts with hauling it on talliers on your own. That cover would be good, greenhouse could be good for working in bad weather, but would take lots of time to pull apart and rebuild😊
Hi. Nice looking wood. That first canopy you looked at would work well for you. You got lots of room. I have one of those poly tunnels it's ok but where I live the storms can be hard on them. All the best.
We have a lean-to next to our garage, which has clear plastic roofing and is mostly open at the ends. We randomly pile split wood into big pallet bins. The wind blows from end to end and if we’re lucky the sun bakes from above; the wood is dry (17-18 percent) in six months, it’s mostly ash, but other woods don’t take much longer. 🇬🇧
Split the oak as soon as it's cut...cover over top and it dries in a year. That's what I do. 4 full cords a year by hand. Like all your equipment. Age 70
i've been thinking about buildings for a while , you maybe beyond the scope i was thinking. a concrete pad with these stackable concrete deadmen, you see at the county fairs, stack those up 3to4 high and put a hoop building on top. run a bigger elevator in there, and dump it high and tall . then alter your tractor bucket to a slatted manure fork [kinda] slide in and fill the trailer. i've been kicking this idea around for a while, straining out and composting cow manure, so you only move solids. liquids flow out into a pit and you could irragate pre tasseling corn.
Wow!! Great score on the wood!! In SE Georgia our oak dries faster than yalls. Hopefully one of those structures can find a new home!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Nice opportunity for some logs and woodyard equipment! You should buy some of those green house structures to put over your wood bins. You could leave them all uncovered during the summer and roll plastic over the top when the snow flies🤷♂️ Take care Sir Chris👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Oak is so heavy and I don't like the way it smells lol. Whenever I have it, if it was green it takes around 2 years to season once its split. Hickory takes forever to season too.
I hear everyone always complaining about energy cost and heating I also hear everyone complaining to me about how crazy I am splitting all this wood and they would never do all that work. LOL as I count my money 💰✌️
The only exception to oak being the slowest drying wood is hickory. I can’t stand hickory. It takes years for the hickory to dry out no matter how small I split it.
I know what you mean with the headaches. I had a viral infection in my gums back in the spring and oh man, the inflammation gave me excruciating pain. I had a root canal done on a molar years ago and I thought it had become abcessed. Started on a Friday and my dentist wasnt open sat or sunday. Almost ripped the tooth out...glad I didnt since that wasnt the problem 😂😂. Anyways, drink lots of water and take loads of vitamin C til you fell better. And take it easy for a few days. Dont stop working just concentrate on less strenuous things. Like tractor work or run the processor.
My opinion on the structures. I see you move your splitter and elevator all the time to your bins. A fixed structure doesn't fit I to your current model. A fixed structure would be good for storage of machines etc, but you already have a barn. If you want a shade structure, go with something small and portable. Also greenhouses need to be heated to prevent snow overload and collapse. Take my word on that one!
I just bought a Stihl 271 (upgrade from My 251). I'm ready to conquer the wood 🪵🪓 world! 😂 I say get as much wood as you can, going to get free wood is VERY time consuming
I buy 10 loggers cords ( semi load) With 5 in reserve every year. Cut it To 24 or 20 inches. We burn most of It each winter I've cut by saw since the mid 80's. Just bought a processor. Life is Good. Nobody knows how long It takes for Oak to dry. LOL😂
All the random lengths would make loading a log truck difficult with their open bunk design, not impossible but not easy for the loader operator plus logistics.
@@iffykidmn8170 not if you went through the piles and had them sorted out before the tucks got there and he's got a trailer and he could haul all of the really short and odd ball peaces that couldn't be put on a truck
I bet you were having withdrawals from the woodyard! 24 cords is a nice score. Have you ever thought about picking up an older logging truck for hauling logs?
Chris - Don’t you usually pay between $1400-$1600 for the trailer loads of logs you have purchased in the past ( 10-12 full cords ) ? $1400 for “24 cords” undelivered sounds like a win ?
roughly half sounds great until he adds in the expense of time and money to do the delivery to himself, doing 1 1/2 cords per trailer load, 40 mile round trip with loading is perhaps an hour per load at a minimum I come up with 16 hours of hauling and $80 dollars in fuel.
yes but if you process one cord per hour ($360) for 6 hours in a day ($2160) over the estimated 4 days it would take you to haul the wood (even with Bert) the potential loss of revenue would be $8640. If John charges $150 per hour for his truck 6 hours ($900) and it takes 2 days the cost would be $1800, which is far less than what you could potentially make processing wood. Just a though. @@InTheWoodyard
Looks like most all of that was oak. That is a really good price on the wood though. I know what you are talking about with the teeth. Constantly chipping teeth think its mostly just fillings coming out. I had one that literally lasted 6 hours. I had it done around lunch and at night I ate some Doritos and pop out comes the filling and the dentist couldn't get me in before I went out of town to fix it so I had to wait almost a month. I could have went elsewhere and got it fixed but then I would have had to pay when he fixed it free. It was a week or so before Christmas and I was flying out of town in a few days so I couldn't get back in till I got back home and he had an opening for me. Tooth was really sensitive at least I didn't hurt it more I only chewed on the other side for a few weeks just in case but it seems like every time something like that happens to me I end up having to get a root canal. I think I probably need a couple root canals now. Some of these teeth have had so much work done on them not sure how much of them are even tooth and not fillings and these new fillings they use now just don't last. The old silver amalgam ones last forever but these composite seems like I have to get them replaced every few years.
Hi Chris! I’ve been watching your videos for a year now and I have a question, what’s the difference between a wood cord and a log cord? (If there is any) Thanks and congrats on this amazing channel!!
Good question...a log cord is a 4'x4'x8' stacked pile of LOGS and a firewood cord is a stacked pile of FIREWOOD SPLITS 4' x 4' x8' (128 cubic feet) one log cord will produce about 2 1/2 (some say 2 1/4) face cords or 5/6 of a full cord. When cut to firewood you loose because of the cuts (kerf) and debris plus logs do not fit as tight together as split wood cut smaller so you loose volume.
I need 300 full cords a year and mostly oak, cherry, hickory and hard maple specifically to service my customers every year, does you tree service have that much and that kind every year? I also get about 50 full cords of free tree service wood and cut 30-40 full cords in friends woods for free too. So.....
After days of sorting through ur videos(while taking breaks from splitting firewood) this content finally made me smash that sub button. Likes just weren’t cutting what I was getting out of them anymore. I own a tree business in Florida and finally spent money on a log splitter to start prepping for next year to sell firewood during my slow season(winter time) and each following year. I’ve been saving my best wood the last 4-5 years to begin this journey. The business orientated videos help me the most, also the motivation ones lol.
@@stevenbrown5210 I have wood my brother Thor helped me gather. He passed in 2019 (RIP) and we probably got it a couple years earlier. It's stacked off the ground, top covered and still in good, burnable condition.
Log scale seemed reasonable, biggie is hauling for days, trailer dump in the yard and restacking so its not scattered all over the woodyard how much is your time worth plus expenses. 3-4 week lag on videos so you already did or did not do this so kind of a moot point.
Oh, man, lots of sympathy for the dental problems. I've broken bones, pulled muscles, suffered serious lacerations, had and recovered from cancer but *nothing* as bad as dental pain. Hope you're on the mend, Chris.
Nice find! Across from my shop they're building a new State Police barracks and they cleared a crap ton of trees and have them piled up so going Monday to see if it's available, that would be a sweet deal for me but my luck it's spoken for lol
Yea he scored for sure. He will be in that wood for $2500 tops split and delivered and should sell it for $7500 on the lowest end. Grabbing that carport is an automatic upgrade to his property.
I think 1k max considering the extra time. You are saving only 40 bucks a cord but will lose probably 30 cords extra you could have processed in the extra time.
1/2 inch per year per side which equals 1" thickness per year. I just split a chestnut oak that i felled nearly 2 years ago and it didn't dry at all, neither end had any checks in it which was surprising because it still had hinge wood.
I will be surprised if you end up with 24 cords. You will know better when you trailer everything. That's a lot of trucking. How many miles point to point?
I know a guy that processes wood into green house and uses the fans to dry it. Seems to work great for him not sure if you have ever thought about that... Seems to be a good idea if you need to dry wood faster.
That is a vary fair price thats what i paid for my 24 the oak at the end looks likenit would be fun to cut would be a good test for my new Husqvarna 592xp
Nice video/wood score Chris. The reason I hand file is because the dremel brings back bad memories of the dentists drill. Any chance you could "flip" some of that oak as saw logs? Stuff that is too big around for the processor doesn't fit your operation very well any more I'd say. Maybe (probably) you have a plan. GNI
Good Morning Chris, nothing worse than tooth pain!! I'm an Oak fan all the way..100% on how it just holds that moisture. Happy Saturday to fellow woodies
Chris it looks like a good score for oak will you load the log’s with your tractor and haul them back. That would give you good video footage and processor time. Keep on cutting
When I see all your wood and all the stacks......it gives a good feeling.
Me too!
Mornin! Lucky sucker, but it pays to know a guy. I’m sure Bert has already put eyes on that very nice opportunity with equipment and sheds to park them under. Looking forward to what happens next.

Many homes will be warm because of you two. Get r done!!!
Thanks!!!
Hi Chris,
Hope your tooth is better very soon, nothing worse.!!
Any shelter is good, if the price is right, buy it, you'll be glad you did 👍
Thanks!!!
Really cool video Chris! Really appreciated tagging along on this one and seeing how you’d go about scaling small piles 🔥💯👍. Definitely some good items there that would work great for you In The Woodyard for sure! Andrew from NB :)
Thanks!
Firstly hope you’re feeling better soon🥲
Looks like a fair deal for 20 arts with hauling it on talliers on your own.
That cover would be good, greenhouse could be good for working in bad weather, but would take lots of time to pull apart and rebuild😊
Yes and yes!
Glad your feeling better. YES get the covered structure. I would enjoy the content.
Awesome, thank you!
Good deal on the wood! Some quality videos coming from that property!😊
Maybe so??
Nothing worth doing is ever easy. Good price for that much wood. Should be fun 😁👍
Maybe so!
Hi.
Nice looking wood.
That first canopy you looked at would work well for you. You got lots of room. I have one of those poly tunnels it's ok but where I live the storms can be hard on them.
All the best.

hi there nice load of wood , and lots of other good stuff as well best to all ,
Hello John! Thanks!
Good morning all!
Good morning!
sounds like a pretty awesome deal Chris,Good Luck
Maybe.
i've been thinking about buildings for a while , you maybe beyond the scope i was thinking. a concrete pad with these stackable concrete deadmen, you see at the county fairs, stack those up 3to4 high and put a hoop building on top. run a bigger elevator in there, and dump it high and tall . then alter your tractor bucket to a slatted manure fork [kinda] slide in and fill the trailer.
i've been kicking this idea around for a while, straining out and composting cow manure, so you only move solids. liquids flow out into a pit and you could irragate pre tasseling corn.
Yup, that would be nice for you.
I'm excited to watch you guys bring those logs home. I hope UA-cam pays you via the videos for the entire score!
Ha! That would be nice but... no.
If the price is right , buy it. Move little cut off saw he built. Get better don’t push it too hard till u heal up. Lots of breaks to rest up.
Maybe so!
take care, prayers
Thanks!!

Nope. not yet I had too much other things going on to get it done before he had to be gone. Lots of other logs out there.

Are there formulas for figuring how much of a cord wood per log?
I do not now, I guess just process it and find out maybe??? Every log cord 4x4x8 yields about 2.5 face cords of firewood.
Hire a commercial log hauler and get it done.
I not know if a truck could get to it all.
Use his skidsteer to consolidate it
Chris rule off thumb 1000 board feet = 2 cords .

Hey. Chris. How is the. Cats
Hello there Ralphy Baby the cats are all fat and sassy just like me!!!!
nice wood at a fair price should work for your wood needs for a while.
Very true! But the time to go get it and haul it might not be worth it.
So, $50/chord for oak by time it is split/stacked...
I sell it for $360 a cord delivered ready to burn.
Call you log hauler and pay him to haul it to you. He'll get close to everything in a single load. jmho.
2 loads easy!
🤘
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
Thats what i usually do for tree services or land owners that got their stuff stacked is around 60 to 80 bucks a cord for it undelivered..
Yup.
G’morning Chris. Them woods like nice. Sweet action doing a measure on the piles. I sheared a molar while eating Runts one time.
GoodNightIrene
Good morning! Dang Runts!
We already knew you were gonna buy it lol
I have not yet?? Maybe??
That is a beautiful mess of wood.
YUP!!!!
Hi Chris , is that 24 face chord or 24 full chord, cheers, ray
Have to be full chords, there is just so much, a lot of it straight and should fit through the processor.
Sorry Chris , missed you saying bush chord right at the beginning. That is a good price, cheers, ray
24 Full log cords.
yup!
Thanks!!!
See what your log hauler would charge you to haul it?
Maybe so?
He could park and you bring the logs to him to load.
Would be less trips and time on your end (and faster) if the price from the hauler worked for you ?
Bad teeth will knock a guy down, ask me how I know; I have had several root canals, wisdom teeth removal etc. not fun. You will recover quickly.
Yup, this was my 3rd one!
Gee get your oak out of north texas dries in 6 months when it's dry 100 degree weather it dries great
Yup, I bet it does!
I got a building at my yard we made out of scrap wood
Nice!!!
You should have been a teacher or teacher because you sure like to talk
Yup, I did teach classes at the college level in the past! Thanks!!

Plus expenses.
Yep….but a cord will go for 360$ Plus

Nice!
Blows my mind that you guys have to pay for wood , 🪵 here in northern New Jersey the tree companies will pay me to take there wood.
I need 300 full cords a year and mostly oak, cherry, hickory and hard maple specifically to service my customers every year, does you tree service have that much and that kind every year?

Good job that's a nice wood you got there You got a good deal on it You have a good day
Thanks, you too!
Good Morning Chris, nothing worse than tooth pain!! I'm an Oak fan all the way..100% on how it just holds that moisture. Happy Saturday to fellow woodies
Good morning!
Why?makes no sense
Couldn’t some of that wood be sawn for lumber?
Sure, if we wanted or needed or sold lumber.

Merry Christmas!
I enjoy watching your videos
Chris it looks like a good score for oak will you load the log’s with your tractor and haul them back. That would give you good video footage and processor time. Keep on cutting
I am not sure yet???
