I’ve gone through heaps of wood this year with COVID and having everyone home for the winter and it was a cold one here. I’ve still got a few metres of wood still in the shed but all this will go in after summer before Easter.

    I went out today for another load of yellowbox. This stuff was pretty big so I had to noodle it to make it more manageable. Some great solid wood in this lot

    Nice repurpose of a swing set. I've used PVC drain pipe similarly just without the legs.

    It's always nice to get ahead with firewood.

    Yes Mike it is. The kids had outgrown it and was thinking of turfing it but then thought I could repurpose it and have done for a few years now

    went out today for my final load of the year. It was not a hot day so thought I’d make the most of it. There was a couple of big rounds that leoht had cut last time he was out there and left for me. I had to noodle them into quarters to handle. I’ve now got some more splitting when I get a chance. It was some great solid wood

    It’s a Ford Everest 4x4 here in Australia. I think it’s the Endeavour over there. It’s the wagon version of the ranger.

    We don't really have the everest here. The new bronco is on the same chassis. Just not available yet. They'll be out in 2021. Otherwise the us Ranger is on the same chassis, and basically the same thing, except with a bed.
