splitting our own trees for firewood

We hired 2 guys to split the 2 oaks and 1 hickory that have been felled by winter storms. Their huge splitter cut through the trunks like butter. They split the trees into more than a cord and it only took them an hour and a half. Now we have a lot to stack. And waiting for more wood to be delivered. Winter is coming (says the Game of Thrones).
