With the little one due in just a few weeks I figured it was time to get my wood pile ready just for the downstairs warmth our fireplace puts out. Few months ago our neighbor cut down a bunch of tiny fist sized and smaller trees and piled them up for me. Small wood but waste not want not. Cherry and oak and bone dry now....it's been hot and dry down here in Georgia this year. I'm supplementing with a TON of heat treated pallets cut up along with an old wood futon frame that just sorta fell apart when we dismantled it. The rest is oak and hickory splits from my awesome in laws. It will be used a little less this year than last year so I'm hoping this wood will go a little while. If not we've got plenty of limbs the size of a Coke bottle and smaller I can size up with the chop saw one day. I can't believe people just throw away those limbs at the local wood yard. I take all I can get. Saw it toss it on the pile. Keep it going. The fruit and oak pieces also get burned in my smokers. Again waste not want not! Also a pic of a very unwelcome visitor in our house the other day. Upstairs. In the bathroom. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Nice stacks of firewood.. I keep all the small rounds and less desirable wood too. Some goes to the firepit the better goes in the stove. Being in Athens, you have better winters than I have here... Better music scene than me too...
Hmmmm... can't make out the bark, but I do declare that just might be some snakewood. Needs to dry, though.
Good looking wood stacks! So since you're sharing pics, can we see the pic of the hole the 12ga left in the floor as well?
I like limbs and branches too! Best are long dry elm poles. Skinny oak is nice too. I don't pick up the snakes, though.
Great wood pile. Nice to see another GA boy. I'm about 1 1/2 hr South of you. Congratulations on the new arrival shortly. Nice rat snake, just needs to be somewhere else...
Nice firewood but bad snake! Well, the snake is not so bad but does not belong in the house. Getting that smaller wood is good. Usually we get that stuff too except in the last few years cutting dead ash we tend to not save those. But if the wife happens to be helping me cut wood, believe me, nothing goes to waste! It does get a bit much when she wants to save finger sized limbs...
