    I hate carrying wood uphill. Do you have any young boys? lol

    Then after carrying the wood, you have to get it split. That has to be some pretty country you live in.

    Nice haul! And nice pics too! Don't know if you've ever dealt with birch before - it's great firewood but the bark is water-tight and so it likes to go punky pretty quick if left in the round. So if it was me I'd work on getting that split up first.

    Yes will split the Birch soon, it is one of our staples around here, along with Ash.

    Hi,
    I do all mine in a mondeo estate, you know you're a proper hoarder when your car gets battered on the quest for wood :)
    Great views by the way!

    I'm sure there are, I hope she likes wind and rain, 100mph is not uncommon during the winter.
