It's that time of year

Started bringing the wood closer to the house..Looks like rain for the next few days...ash , maple and black locust

 

Filling up the wood shed as well

 

What a clever idea with the weights on a rope holding down the tarp, I would imagine the that would help stop water from pooling on top. Thanks for the reminder, time to move some wood indoors.

 

I got the idea from someone on here. It works well and it does keep the water off and really helps when it's windy out. I was going to split some wood today but the rain ruined my plans, oh well gotta do it on another day that's it's dry out and off from work

 

Same here with the weather, if I can catch a window i'll buck and split more today, I have a pile that needs about 15 more rounds split to make and even 4 cord pile.

 

Thanks for a different idea. They do the trick

 

I moved some wood up on the back porch, lows getting into the high 30s. Won't be long now.
That's the newest member of the LongShot pack, BettyAnn, guarding the stack.

 

Cheap weights over rule cute weights! Least in my book.....

 

Mine's coming to the covered front porch about the second week of October. I've got about a cord and a half of black oak way up the hill that's been split and stacked for 5 + years now, but 95% of it has to be shortened because it was cut for a fireplace and not my insert.

 

In NM? I know the temp swings between day and night are more than we have here, but are you at altitude as well?

 

It will be here before we know it. Betty Ann is sure going to enjoy the fire ..

 

Betty Ann, Betty Crocker, Betty Boop......everybody enjoys a warm fire on a cold night.

 

Nice rack, jack

 

yep, 6600 ft. we're still hitting high 70s during the day, so probably no fire this weekend.

 

Yeah, my sister is at 5000 or so in Socorro, maybe not that big a swing?

 

Socorro is over 100 miles south of me, so we usually have considerably colder winters. I'm close to Jemez Springs, about 35 miles sw of Los Alamos.
