    Around here this time of year I'd be choking on the bugs those lights would attract after dark!
    Still as our average day time max temps are probably in the 70s it's not too uncomfortable to work in, plus I also need to keep the noise down with my boys sleeping :)

    Max temps in the 70's qualifies for an official "You Suck" :rofl: :lol::wacky:

    Thanks Erik, I guess as we've burnt less my mind has turned away from fire wood (well, most of the time :).
    Between trips to the beach and work I've still managed to do a bit of splitting and stack management though and have checked in here to see what everyone has been up to.
    I've also found a great new fire wood source, I've joined a co-operative group where we carry out management (felling / clearing) in privately owned woodlands that are not commercially viable to commercially harvest. We get to take all the wood we can in exchange for our labour. We meet once a month on a Saturday and work for 4-5 hrs, have lunch by a camp fire and then go home with the car riding seriously low stuffed with rounds :)
    As I'm about 2 years ahead I'm hoping this will meet our wood burning needs (especially as most the timber I've taken is Ash so will be good for winter 17/18).
