Hi. I need to direct dude here but, in the meantime, while my firewood game might not be as strong as yours...his is worse. H recently got a load, which I suspect is unseasoned, delivered, and the only place he has to put it is a detached garage. He was asking my advice yesterday and I could swear that I heard stories in college that, if wood was stored where there was no airflow, the air can actually become toxic. He said that he was setting up a spaceheater in there, which doesn't sound any better, he only has one window to open. Anyway, aside from the wood rotting, which I explained to him, am I right about the toxic air thing?
Lots of log cabin have avoided killing people. Greater concern is the electric bill.. Might have been better off with bio bricks or kiln dried if he's going to rob Peter to pay Paul with the wood drying. -edit- Sorry if that Came off a little snarky, no offense meant of course. Just funnin ya.
Ugh, good point. We actually have fairly high electric rates here too. That's throwing good money after bad.
NO doubt that wood he bought is not dry. No problem storing it in a garage but that may not be the best either except that it will stay dry. No problems with toxic that I am aware of. A space heater in there may help if he also uses a fan to move the air.
Yeah Perkasie's electric situation is crazy. I have friends that live up there. I'm originally from the lower end of the county, Bristol Twp.
It's a local electric department and the service is actually very good. We're usually up when other areas are still down. As long as you don't have electric heat (why do so many people have this?) it's doable.
Depending on how green the wood is he could end up with a moldy garage. Black mold in sheetrock is not fun. I'm kinda surprised if he truly has no place to store wood he didn't go the pellet route. Toxic mold is a term the fake media likes to toss around. There is no such thing. Some mold however can produce (myco)toxins, usually under certain conditions. Which may be what you hear(d) stories about.
