    Great firewood shed Loon. Looks like your maple trees have sploded... parts everywhere. Ash leaves here, not much else yet. Stay dry...

    Right where I want to be.
    I see at least a couple pieces there that won't need splittin'.:thumbs:
    The Maples are really starting to drop leaves now. Looks like an orange, red, and yellow quilt on the ground.

    I don't bother with a blower.....they just blow back.:hair:
    I've been raking 'em up and loading the garden as mulch, or mowing 'em up into the gravel drive, where they eventually unappear.
    Only one Maple in the yard....the rest are in the woods.:thumbs:
    Been meaning to ask someone who has a lean to like that.........is there any problem with snow buildup under that main building eave on the leanto roof?
    One of these years, I'll be adding a leanto on each side of the pole barn.

    Never had a problem with that dave and its on the prevailing wind side of house. Only problem was when i reroofed a few years ago we couldnt nail shingles underneath so ended up using a 18inch strip of rolled asphalt and heated it down.:yes:

    And as for the leaves, its just begun. :bug: But right now i just deal with the carport and eaves.:yes:

    When I see all the leaves, I think garden compost
    I bet maple leaves would make great compost :)
    Just fill my bin with garden plants & mixed in leaves & grass clippings. (birch leaves)

    Nice Fall pictures :)

    How does your Pyr do riding on the quad? I am looking at getting a quad next spring. I ride my KLR every where but plopping the dog on the back of that really isn't an option...
