Need a hydraulic splitter for sweetgum! Even hickory is easier to split with 
a maul than sweetgum.

Still have my 5 KW gas generator which was brand new for the 93 blizzard. Was 
still living in our old place and building this one is why I needed a 
generator. Was ready that day, had it all gassed up and a huge extension 
cord ready to go and never needed it. 90% of Cherokee county was out of 
power that night. Sometimes being prepared pays off:)
