A solace, calming feeling comes over me while looking at my meager 1 1/2 cord woodpile, for that matter, anyone else's . Is this a common condition amongst backyard wanna be woodsman firewood hoarders ? So, please comfort me here, safety in numbers, right? Or am I ?
Valleyman It can be a calming experience gazing at your stacks of wood. However, when you see how much more wood you need, it gives you motivation to build up your stash and get on the 3 year plan
Spot on, and nice to meet you Valleyman Only thing that would be considered crazy would be not speeding towards the 3 year plan as soon as possible.
Welcome to the forum Valleyman. Yes indeed, it gives a calming feeling but also can be exciting. That's the way it is with hoarders. Hopefully you'll get on the 3 year plan and then you'll really feel great.
is a prerequisite for membership a couple of weeks here and that calming feeling will become a sense of dread and inadequacy for sure just keep chanting 3 YEAR PLAN, 3 YEAR PLAN, 3 YEAR PLAN and you'll be OK.
You guys crack me up. I think I found my home, for sure. PS-I'm in the process of re-haging Dad's axe from the 70's -another addiction in the making!
Yes, I look at my meagre stacks and cry. Wait until you see some of the stacks the professional hoarders on here have, it will make you with envy.
my favorite view from my house is looking out my basement window that looks out under the deck where my wood is stacked! My wife says it blocks the view, I say it makes the view. I'll post a pic when I get home.
....oh, yea....you're right. ..and as soon as you get over that feeling of calm.... you'll start looking past your "meager 1 1/2 cord woodpile" to figure where you can stack your next cord. It's not just you. I'll see you on the road.
Welcome to the greatest club on earth! Valleyman !! By the way it’s common amongst us hoarders to be a bit and only if your not a bit your not doing it right... My lock screen on my phone for instance... Oh and my home screen Don’t forget the view out the back window Might I also suggest opening your damper before lighting your stove.. judging by your avatar picture I’m thinking it slipped your mind.
It's a beautiful thing. And I thought I had it bad. Time to get on the 3 year plan for sure! I just scored some Black Cherry. I think that's what ignited me. I'm going to reserve it for the pizza oven and for smoking fish n fowl
Yep it only gets better with time and reading and absorbing wisdom from everyone here! Sounds to me though you are on the right track already. Do some reading and posting around the threads here and I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it!
