The OFFICIAL Firewood Hoarder's Club thread!!!

Welcome aboard OC Timber

Lots of good people, advice and humor to be found here.

 

It was a little chilly in February

 

I’m at 4 which I think is pretty dam good for the uk

 

1/3 cord Mesquite C/S/S ready for another Las Vegas winter. Triple digit temps and single digit humidity makes for some fast seasoning here.

 

Is that all you need for heat or are those show fires?

 

We have a big fireplace in the house. We can warm our butts in front of it, but it doesn't do much to heat the place. What it really does is remind me of how much I enjoyed heating with wood back in NY. I would love to have my Woodstock Fireview here. There are about 20-30 nights a year that we could really use it to take the chill out of the house. About a cord per year would probably do it. One of the best kept secrets of Las Vegas, NV is that it gets cold here. The low humidity and wind make 40 feel pretty darn cold when the sun is down.

 

Did work take you out to Vegas? Pretty drastic move from NY

 

It was a combination of a whole lot of stuff that brought us out here. My wife didn't want to do Northeastern winter anymore and there are only a few towns where a stagehand can make a good living. Commuting in and out of NYC was beating the crap out of me. Out here I'm in the car about 30 minutes a day. In NY it was easily 3 hours a day. I miss the East a bit, but the Southwest is pretty nice too. Plus my truck wont rust away to nothing in 10 years.

 

Yea I don't blame you with an hour and a half commute into NYC either! Double negative in my opinion.

 

Had to work off some J.O.B. frustration from yesterday. This is the results of it and feeling a little better.

 

By the looks of it, you worked off a lot of frustration. Good job.

 

You have no idea.

 

Stephiedoll Good thing you have a job that is frustrating for you. Gives you good motivation to get wood CSS

 

Swinging the ax works better for stress relief IMO, but i know the feeling. Blew off some life frustration this afternoon with it.
Nice looking wood and work BTW!

 

I don't have any frustrations right now but I do need to get out the saw and buck buck up some of the piled wood I have and start splitting. I don't want to fall behind. I got a good bit ahead and have been coasting the last few years.

 

I'd have to be real frustrated to do that in these temps. It's the one time I genuinely dislike cutting or splitting.

 

Got about half of this today
Can’t beat backing up to a stack of hardwood in a stone lot

 

Wow, sign me up!

 

Jealous here!
