My back hurts from just looking at that stack. It will be worth it when the snow falls!!!

Holy cow - you did a very tidy job. Our pile sure doesn't look like that!

What's that old saying, wood heat keeps you 3 times warm, once when you cut it, once when you split and stack it and once when it burns.

Looks like a professional job. Years ago my husband cut
our wood and I would help run it through the splitter. It is work, but since I did office type work, I kinda enjoyed
working outside. At least you can see the result of your hard work.

Month and a half? No wonder we don't use our fireplace. Only use Duraflame in it anyway, during the Holidays. Too pricey. And can't have wood heat the whole house due to asthma. But I sure love the hot heat, the smell, the warm cozy cuddling watching a movie next to the fireplace.
Putting off sewing to get this done will be hugely rewarded when the cold starts. Sore muscles and all.

Gotta love all that "warm for the winter" wood! Just think of all the calories you are burning compared to how few get burned when seated at the sewing machine. Just need to find that silver lining :D

whew that is hard work, and yea, it goes fast when the wind blows or the temperature drops.
Sorry I can't help you except in spirit.
