Stack all the firewood today vs get all the firewood stacked today

1."Take a rest, Felicia, you don't need to get all the firewood stacked today."
2."Take a rest, Felicia, you don't need to stack all the firewood today."
What is the difference in meaning between the two examples? Can I use them interchangeably for the same meaning?

Source: please refer to example #7
