We got the firewood stacking all done yesterday morning. Phew! There are two stacks: the big one under the deck on the north side of the house and a smaller pile under under the deck on the east side.
The firewood guy is someone new to us, recommended by some friends who live not far away. The logs seem like they're split smaller than those from prior years. That's good for two reasons: 1, they aren't as heavy to lug around, and b, I won't have to split as many with the axe when it's time to burn.
After the stacking was done, I had a big pile of bits and pieces to clean up. They're now in a bin in the garage and they'll get used for kindling through the season. I also have three old garbage cans filled with kindling from the birch trees along with another large pile stacked out by the north end of the hedge. I think we're ready for another wood stove season. But we're not in a rush.
Your stacks are always so artful (and so much work).
ReplyDeleteNicely done!

That’s a lotta logs! Is the log wall curved out from the house in the first picture or is it too early for me?

That looks great, Walt!
ReplyDeleteI like the columns you make on the ends of the big pile.
ReplyDeleteThat’s exactly what I was going to say. Those columns are really steady and keep the wood in place. In all, it is a work of art.
