I now see why the site is called hoarders cause I am totally addicted. My wife asks me how much firewood do we need and I tell her just a little bit more. There is a place about 2 miles from my house where they logged about 100 acres and they left a bunch of logs behind. You can never have too much, right?
My wife quit asking that question years ago. She appreciates the warm house and garage so I think that’s why she doesn’t ask anymore. It also saves tons of money and keeps me out of the house!
Right! Better than money in the bank! With a good reserve of firewood you can heat your home no matter what else happens in the world, even if cash turns out to be useless.
You just found out what I did about a year ago when I joined. Hording is addicting. I thought I had enough for about 4 years. I thought I would only get to hoard what I needed to replenish what I burned each year. But I have now found out after about half way through this, my first year burning, that I will probably go through twice what I was thinking I would. That means come spring I will be building another storage and get to hoard big time this spring again.
I find that as I hoard firewood, I'll never feel like I have enough firewood as long as I have real estate to stack it.
Unlike others I have easily 2 flat acres of stacking area; I need more wood.. Good news is this year has been cold.. negative 6 this morning I sat in front of stove watched it snow and drank coffee.. come March more will happen
Someone asked my youngest son once what was one of his dad's hobbies. He said ... firewood. I knew then that my hoard was getting somewhere.
The FHC spirit is alive and well in you Paul. You're among friends. Its a special kind of crazy. Hoard on cut safe AND be sure to post some pics of this score. Inquiring hoarders wanna see!
If anyone here asks the question about how much wood is too much, they get a ton of demerits and loss of the club jet
Hey Paul Dokken ... "I now see why the site is called hoarders cause I am totally addicted"... naw... now THIS guy is addicted...
Well, when you can't stay away from the computer or phone to go to FHC every day, you are REALLY hooked and there is NO escaping now! Also keep in mind there are many kinds of hoarders. I live on about 1/3 of an acre, a neighborhood, and at the most I've had on here at one time was about 12 cord. I usually burn about 3 to 4 cord a year. We also had one winter where I only burn't just about a cord. People lose their minds when they see 12 cord on a neighborhood lot. . And, of course I get, "Why do you need so much firewood"? Then you have to explain the three year process ..... I just hand them a beer and say, I'll tell ya later! There are a many GREAT Hoarders on this forum, and the CEO who started it all, Mr. Scotty Overkill . Hoard on and don't stop! It'll keep you out of trouble, or the Bar!
You might better...there is this guy on this forum always talks about a 3 yr plan or sumpin'...everyone heard of him? Oh, he likes to split vertical, sitting on a milk crate...... I think there might be room for an extra stack or 2 in your field...
Hey neighbor, you fought off the addiction for 4 years...that must be a record...... We don't have a hoarding problem, our problem is finding some place to dump logs and finding time to get it processed...we're still working on logs from Hurricane Helene...and still have some more to haul home...maybe you could go to a GTG sometime and meet some fine FHC folks. Just a few loads we hauled home from Helene...oak and hickory...
