I don't blame you for ordering it.
I've had to move a few cords of wood and my health was crappy. Also had to deal with downed trees. I know. I know.
Helps to have help......

Quite a few of the family on my mother's side used to 'cut paper wood' (logging for the paper industry). Don't think anyone does it anymore. Grandfather had been hurt by a falling tree, he was bed-ridden for the last ~15 years of his life.
Grew up with coal/wood furnaces to heat the house. Tends to make winter mornings a bit chilly

for heat we got the heat pumps - fire places are strictly for ambiance
You have heat pumps? Which tells me you also have electricity. Surrrrrrrrrre...you rich people with your furnaces, heat pumps, AC and electric lights. Franny and I, on the other hand, have to heat with wood, light lanterns and pump water out of the ground!
Get a steam engine and turn a generator Meggers! Come on....get with the times
Smart putting it on blocks. Bet you wish you had a Geoff....
Then again, maybe you use gas or people power....
That's a lot of wood. Kudos to you, just for the effort.
(Gives silent thanks to the gas company for finally getting natural gas in my area.....)

I hurt just thinking about it. Wish I was in that kind of shape/health. Kudos again.
P.S.
You're nuts. Get a splitter.

Well...I figure as long as I am capable of splitting by hand...I'll do it. It's good for you but...I sometimes have to pace myself cause I get winded or my chest starts pounding. I use to be able to split wood all day just WHAM WHAM WHAM. But...I'm old so it's more like...wham...miss...wham...wham...take a vape break...wham...play with the barn cat....take a nap...wham...look at the wood...wham...wham wham sorta wham. ...
