Man, I absolutely hated choppin wood when I was a kid. But I would welcome it today, as a means of getting out some of my pent-up aggression

I used to do it all the time. Haven't done it in a few years and it showed today. To be fair, it was always a lot cooler outside when I used to do it than it was today.

My great uncle is finally starting to show his age. He usually slowly builds his woodpile up throughout the year, but he can barely walk now, and his pile was pretty thin. Not enough to get him through the winter, but it's a good start. His kids and grandkids can step the fuck up though. Next time I do it, and they're not there to help, they're gonna rent me a wood splitter.

My 77 year old grandpa was gonna go over there and do it for his older brother. I said fuck that.

My dad always made us do it in the dog days of August, when the wood was driest, he said. I about passed out every time. At least there were four of us boys, though, so the work got spread around

Never had to split it, but every fall, we'd get a cord dumped on the driveway and we'd have to stack it on the side of the house. I'd rather pull goddamn weeds. That shit sucked, especially with a gaggle of girls doing it all.

Oh, don't even get me STARTED on the weed pulling.

Not only did we have to weed the garden veggies, but we had to pull up weeds all over the rest of the property. It was only about 17 acres.

That's a really good deal. Under 300 bucks, if it lasts one Winter, you get your money's worth. I don't burn firewood, but it would save me from swinging a go devil when an elderly relative needs firewood.

There's a hydraulic one that is a buck 25. If the wood is small enough you could use that. I'm definitely too fucking lazy to be doing that shit the old way.

I've never had a wood splitter, I always just assumed the low end would be over a grand for one. This is really good info.

For us, it was clean the house (you got a bathroom, the kitchen, vacuuming/dusting, matching socks or refolding everything in the linen closet) or get outside and pull weeds. I would get started in the house, but someone always fell for the Pledge on the hardwood floors trick, so I'd get kicked outside and have to pathetically pull weeds and the others already snagged all the tools, so I'd have to do it by hand.

No wonder I turned out the way I did

Saturday was clean the house day. And one night every week each kid had to wash the dishes and clean up after dinner. But when it was your night, you got to take a shower last, so you didnt have anybody pounding on the door telling you to hurry up and save some hot water.

I've never used one....I just see them in harbor freight every now and then when I go in. Not sure of their durability, but I damn sure would investigate it if I had use for one. I'd probably get the model off of one and YouTube a review to see some pros and cons. You would think the pros would definitely out weigh splitting those bitches by hand though lol


Fuck all that.
