Mid Summer Chill


On Tuesday when I checked the temperature we were sitting at 57 degrees and the weather service predicted that we'd get no higher than 60...not exactly summer weather but perfect for preparing for this winter. I know, I know, it just warmed up a few weeks ago (literally) but when you're main heating source requires burning wood then it's never too late to start preparing!

Here's Bryan splitting some hardwood behind the house on Tuesday.
The wooded portion of our property has many downed trees. Bryan borrowed his dad's chainsaw, went back there, and cut up some of those trees. He chainsawed off and on for three or four days before splitting.

His first split and stacked hardwood on the side of the house, taken on Tuesday.
Bryan finished stacking on Thursday. Here it is two piles deep instead of one, like above.
Finished! I'm hoping it will be a VERY long time before we have to use this!!
It's nice that we have a stack of hardwood finished. We also plan on ordering some slab wood to supplement this.

Here's to many, MANY more warm days!
