Just be mindful of when and for how long you run the petrol saw, and crack on. It's the same as mowing the lawn or doing DIY. I only use the saw for one or two tank fulls so basically never more than an hour or two.  I don't use it before 10 or after about 7, usually it's just a couple of hours on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.  If people in moderately dense suburbs have issues with short stints or noise at reasonable times then I feel for them, life must be tough!

Garage has my two bikes.

Corded saw seems like a safe bet

That's a darned good haul.

 

As said above, Leylandii well dried burns grand.

 

The only thing I don't like about it is the smell, it's a very sort of stale unwoody kind of smell, and not at all piney.

 

Although everybody else in the house said it was just me!

Absolutely right, it gets harder as it dries.  Although sometimes a short spell of drying to start a few cracks gets it to a sweet spot for splitting.... After which it gets harder.

 

Put aside 2 or 3 nice large knotty rounds as chopping blocks but deal with the rest. If you can't split, block it up with the saw.
