You have a great set up all the way around from the wood lot to the final destination. I have shown the photos to friends, describing how you work in the woods to hauling to the shed. From stump to shed, you have all the necessary equipment and tools to make this a more enjoyable task then a laborious one. Sure, it's still work, but you get good production so overall, it's short in duration.

I kind of work in reverse of how you process yours. I like to bring the logs to the house, buck/block, stack to dry in block, then split there. It's just easier for me to move whole logs then loads of split wood by using the 3 pt forks. At the house, I like to use my timberjack, 3 pt forks, log gripper tools + I am close to the basement refrigerator, always cold water, beer, can take lunch without bringing it with me, & other tools are also nearby. On the cheap, I have found 3 old Jackson wheel barrows and 4 really nice gardenway carts. From my stack or pile of blocks, I split then load the wheel barrows and carts. From there it can go to a stack, to my small wood shed or directly into the garage to the stove if it's been blocked and stacked to dry. Just split when needed. The wheel barrow works well for hauling to the stove. Handling does not bother me, working off the ground does, so I use the wheel barrows and carts. The only low work is starting a stack.

I'm in a pickle right now, low on processed wood. I have a large pile of blocks in the driveway, plenty for the season,+ some small diameter log length and whatever else is in there, and what a neighbor added in blocks. Some of the blocks are 20" diameter or better and need to be split. With this bitter cold weather, not much fun, but anytime in the mid 20's and up, if no wind, I still like working outside, can warm up when I need to. Not sure I'll get any done this weekend, but in a couple of hours I have enough for a month. Weather sure seems to turn whenever I have time off. Will have to get a jump on next seasons to avoid this again.
