Splittin' season is upon us. Our firewood yard this morning. Hovering around 0ºC (32ºF). A great day for outdoors.
that is a real cool pic. Mebbe that can be used in the FHC front page scroll of photos. Love the "measuring cup" crates of wood!
Generally it only needs about 2 months. All depends on the weather and how long ago the wood was harvested, and what type of wood.
Mix of of hardwoods; about 50% maple, the rest yellow birch, white birch, white ash, American mountain ash, and a little bit of Beech.
Wow! You folks have 2 seasons up there; winter and the 4th. of July! We bicycled around the entire island, including Cape Brenton, this past June and July and felt lots of 40°F. temps but it was still a trip of a life time.
We lost power for 3 days. Pretty much the entire province lost power for a couple days. There's still people without power a week now. It will probably be another week or so before everybody is back. Wireless cell and internet communications were affected for many as well. A lot of trees down everywhere.
will you be getting any of the downed trees? Will folks dump wood on your lot? Or do you have enough from your own lot to cut?
Jim Barry you're in a great part of the world- not too far from the Sunrise trail if memory serves me right. Edit- tagged the wrong name! Whoops.
Fallen trees get picked up pretty quick around here. A lot of people burn firewood. Pretty much only the crown goes to the municipal landfill to be chipped or ends up on some woods road tossed aside. I live in a rural area of NS, there's plenty of room to dump but we're too far from the clean up activity for arborist to come this far out.
Now THAT'S the way to sell firewood! Stack it once and done. Do you dump the racks or just charge a deposit, which brings the customer back?
