Rent??? Did you say you RENT a wood splitter? Geesh, my dad couldn't afford to buy one way back then so he BUILT one! Although, I do remember being thrilled because that eliminated us having to use the mallet and wood splitters (the things that look like railroad spikes) to split the wood. Now all we had to do was HAUL it. I don't remember which was worse, splitting or hauling. I agree though, keeps 'em young, gives 'em something to do, and now that we're the recipients of some of the wood (we bring it along in the motorhome) I actually wouldn't mind going to help some weekend....hasn't happened yet, but I wouldn't mind. Funny, I thought my dad was one of a kind when it came to wood splitting, but I guess he's got company.
