Since were working on oak we had empty the hemlock slabs so I can put oak slabs in it. At end of day I took out the first bundle of oak slabs and yup they was heavy, once I got them on the ground I could only lift them 3' off ground, should be good firewood in two years.

. I'm using red oak for my bridge build cause it's strong, stands up to weather fairly good.....

I've heard that it's not great outside, that white oak lasts better. I also have a lot of cedar to cut boards out of, thought that would be awesome for the siding on the shed that would house the mill.

Oak is not the best but it will outlast hemlock or pine that I have, course anything will last longer if some sort of wood preserver is put on it, I might try the stuff hunt mention that HD sells. I like cedar lumber wish I had some on my land, my son has to buy it to run his business.

I was getting lumber today and found these in my pile; there were 8 snakeskins there, and 4 still had their owners attached.

I hate snakes but showed restraint so they all are still crawling... at least in part because of recent discussions here.

As an aside; I always thought that they ate a lot of mice, but a few years ago a biologist told me that isn't the case.

Most of us cut the wood pieces smaller, then move them, then burn them. But you do what works for you Spankan!!

I'd love to help with your cedar supply, but I'm a bit far away...
