My wood storage has been filled up so I’ve not been hunting for wood recently. damm, I miss that - playing with the saws, exercise, fresh air & whatnot ☹️. Well with the burning so far this year I’m starting to have stack space to fill. Had the day off today so I drove by the town yard waste dump site - they have a wood give back section you can haul away all you want; but it’s hit or miss. Sometimes it’s empty, sometimes crap wood, sometime you hit the lottery. Today it was full of Ash - woohoo! I filled the truck up, good exercise, fresh air with a tinge of 2-stroke - what’s not to like? Probably just over a face cord. 40 degrees out with a good breeze so I didn’t even break a sweat - although it was a lot of work. Frikking wood is heavy. Some good sized rounds and a few cookies. The larger rounds I have to noodle in half or quarters so I can lift them into the bed. This batch will probably get burned winter of 23-24. I’d have gone back for seconds but my chain needs a bit of attention. Now I’m relaxing on the sofa in the 85 degree stove room. I asked the cat to get me a beer but he flipped me the bird.
That is so awesome! All our dump has is garbage, but I did get a ton of steel roofing out of the metal dumpster!
Those are some bigguns. Great find. I need to make a trip to my recycling center. Lots of wood but can be a mess.
My cat watches me load the stove, and if the stove is cold, she'll lead us down to the basement and look at it. I think she gets it.
Years ago we had a cat that woke us up in the middle of the night because there was no heat, the furnace stopped working. That cat was awesome!
