Splitting firewood with a
maul is great exercise. Although I allow my extremely concerned
neighbor to split large stumps with his gasoline splitter, I still
use the maul on anything of moderate size or smaller. I enjoy it, and
it keeps me in better shape than most people half my age.
A few mornings work...
Putting up firewood in the winter months breaks up the boredom that will inevitably set in after the holiday season, but seems to lead any observers to believe you're insane. To me, on the other hand, it's insane to pay someone for labor when you're perfectly capable of the task. I live about 2/3 old fashioned and 1/3 modern, and it seems to fit me perfectly.
