I have a pile of logs from some felled trees. Any recommendations on a company that will split and stack them?

Do it yourself you lazy ass. It's not that hard to swing an axe.

I used to do that back in my younger days

HEY!






DONT FUCK WITH MY TREES

It's a workout, but a wedge and sledge hammer should take care of most of it. Don't be afraid to whack it HARD. Use inertia and the weight of the sledge to do most of the work. And watch your legs. At my pace, it's maybe 5 to 10 logs an hour depending on the wood. You might split the handle of a wedge or two before you get the feel for it.

Or, just run down to 7 eleven and ask around to see if there are two guys that want to help you out. They have to at least be able to lift and aim the hammer. Provide the wedge, sledge, and some beer for when they are done. If they seem to be working at a decent pace, $10 to $15 an hour should be fair.

RAC - Rent A Chainsaw. Or you can buy or borrow one.

I don't know about a chainsaw for splitting the sections. For cutting up the tree into sections I'd use a chainsaw, but for splitting the sections? Hmmmm. If you don't go the wedge and sledge route, maybe rent a gas powered log splitter from McLean rentals. It's fun and you can have some buddies over while doing it. No one breaks a sweat.

Let me know if you go with the chainsaw, though. We can trade war stories afterwords.

Agree. A chainsaw seems like a really bad idea for splitting logs.

Can't you just call around to some local rental places and rent a log splitter? It would be a hell of a lot faster than splitting logs manually.

If I knew you and you were going to cough up some dough, I'd take my axe to them and help you out.
