This is one of two large piles of firewood among the AON's installations. The wood is expertly stacked and covered with corrugated metal panels (to help keep them dry) which are tied down to the pile so they don't blow away.
Wood pile. Each log is split (by a machine), if necessary, and is cut to one meter long.
We're expecting rain to start later this morning. I did finish cutting the grass yesterday, so I'm happy about that. The mowing was not without incident, however. The rider's seat came off. Twice. The bumpy ground, made so by moles, took its toll on the single bolt that secures the seat. I almost lost that bolt in the grass but, thankfully, I managed to find it and, with a lot of toil and trouble (and swearing), I got the seat reattached and finished cutting the grass.
I feel cursed.
That wood construction is amazing. I would have set fire to the riding mower.
ReplyDeleteDitto what Mitchell said about the wood pile. Wow.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, Walt, I'm so sorry to hear about the riding lawn mower! Still, it got the job done, and you're learning more and more about it. All will be well :) (I hope.)
Do you curse in English or in French? I think cursing in our first language is more cathartic.
Good question, Judy!

Your AON must have had a lot of practice stacking wood. Perfect.

Finding a bolt in time saved the day! You need to meet that neighbor sometime!
ReplyDeleteAnother LOL moment here. Sorry. We have had problems on our deck in the past losing guitar pegs over the edge and spending a couple of hours looking for it - only to look up from the ground and notice it flipped up onto the roof! Yes, definitely a hair-splitting event! Glad you found that bolt. And...If the AON was nearby the next time (I don't plan on there being a next time!) I ordered wood I would hire him. I thought you, two did a fabulous job at stacking wood until that photo!
ReplyDeleteIf the seat hadn't come off - twice - you wouldn't have much to write about!
