Firewood

going to a low tomorrow night of 45 - so I may be firin' up again

well I thought I was done..........................

However - 55 - rainy - damp -dismal - raw.

[SIZE=4]STOVE ON!![/SIZE]

Once the garden is done and I clear it I will have to make a plan for getting a cord dumped.

Decided the wood will be stacked in the garden area this year.
Had too many varments hiding in and around the stack, if i stack in front of garden i can keep it clear and clean from both sides and even cover when its going to snow or rain.

Trying to make a better plan for the wood this year.
Behind the shed and up against fence is not good.

My old (24 yrs) gas saw started bogging down and I suspect its the carb when a new air filter and fuel filter didn't help. So I decided to take advantage of a Labor Day sale and ordered a battery Husqvarna chainsaw.

I am thinking of a ryobi bat trimmer & saw for clearing some hedges.
I thought of getting a price from a scaper but figured i can do it myself with my chainsaw and a new trimmer.

And so it begins. First small fire to start the new heating season.

Winner Winner, Chicken dinner

Thinking of getting a load delivered very soon, now that the garden is cleared and closed up the yard.
Should be burning real soon.

Not letting the fire go out in the wood stove today.

So apparently I got a new neighbor in the hood who decided to clear their yard so I get to heat my house for free again next year ‘cept for the $20 I threw the tree dudes for dropping it in my front yard

Surprised, most tree guys now take the wood for resale.

Nice score!

Nice score!

Yes for sure
All nice clean lengths of oak
Some of them will be a challenge with my 18” Stihl 🤷‍♂️

When I lived on LI I did very well with Immaculate Tree Service in Kings Park I would make sure to bring bones from the butcher for his two shepherds. He had a big following on the Craigslist. I haven't secured a connection down here yet. I'm good for one more year so I'll be hunting for wood again soon.

I bought a new battery operated Husqvarna and am very pleased with it. My gas one died after 24 yrs.

There are plenty of tree companies here out east that are more than willing to give wood away
Plus, in my hood there are a bunch of 2nd homeowners that dont know or support us locals so they bring guys in from up island that dont wanna have to haul the wood all the way back west
This crew today was from Rocky Point

Burning

Finished cutting it up today
Now its all in the back yard waiting to be split and dry out for next year

All the hard work is paying off
The stove has been running practically full time since 11/1 and only had to run the oil burner for a bit of extra heat on a few extra cold mornings

Nice looking fire Chinacat. Gonna keep chewing through wood here as this cold is suppose to last till mid month.
