    I was planning to do some firewood this weekend but ended up just sort of getting ready to do some. I have to reconfigure my firewood storage in preparation for my new pole barn. So I had to find a new home for 2 of my jumbo firewood pallets. I decided to put one of them next to the holz and I’m going to cut the other one in half and put it on the south side of the garage.

    I want to get a coat of stain on the garage this year too so I need to get that done before I stack any wood there. My wood shed needed a coat too, and Amy wanted to get that done first because she likes to use it as a front porch in the summertime. :D

    I also took down a spruce that was going to be in the way of the pole barn - it was kind of in the way of all the firewood I need to process too.

    If life has taught me anything there are 17 things that need to be done before any intended work gets done

    Looking good Shawn

    Sounds like a lot of projects to get done. You do have a plan so that is good.

    I actually did - there was just enough trunk there to do so, and it sorta puts me in my “comfort zone”. There wasn’t much of an escape route, so I wanted to make my cuts and then get out of there and pull it over.

    It is a lot, but I’ll be hiring a contractor to build the pole barn. Mostly what I’ve got to do is get that firewood and a few more trees out of the way. Hoping to get that done this month.

    A shame to cut that spruce but understandable. You will be one happy camper when that pole barn is up!
