Wood is done. Pics

Well all the wood is stacked and done, the only thing left is the small stuff under the tarp for the garage. Daughter has all of hers done except small stuff and a white oak that fell during the spring. SIL and daughter has theirs finished and stacked next to their new outdoor wood furnace.

Come to find out SIL & daughter never scaled their wood when they bought it form the logger who used to deliver our wood. THey finally checked it out and were paying for 10 cord,but only getting 7 cord at most.The logger cord runs $1300.00 for a load of wood, which means their getting screwed for 3 cord thats not exhistant.According to the SIL and daughter the logger is scaling by weight and not measurement per cord of wood.And the wood is now only limbs and end pieces of trees.Not a way to buy wood.We haven't bought wood for 3 yrs and Daughter and SIL and other daughter quit buying this year so he is out of a little bit of money. Some of our wood came off the border of our property was termite infested. THe tree's from the county forest came down and pushed our trees into the house roof and had to replace the blandex,tar paper and shingles with new plywood,tar paper ad steel roofing,along with facia board and sofit, so it will be good for another 70 yrs, we'll get the south side next year replace with steel roofing.You can see my son has been busy, he's a good man,and I'm proud of him.

We have some new projects to do in te winter to do inside the garage. The Adirondacks case guy has given us a project to do with the elevator/conveyor, looking forward for that and will be calling on him for some information, cause he's one smart fellow.He truly is an asset to Yesterdays Tractors. Well for now this is it,hope you enjoy the pictures,we're keeping warm .
Regards,
LOU

Looks like you're good and ready for winter. Since you brought up the firewood topic I'll add my 2 cents. Yesterday I was cleaning out a shed and saw several plant trays with pots. I was going to trash them, then thought I can reuse them with wood chaff for fire starters. After I empty that in the stove I squirt used motor oil on it, fire takes right off. I dry the chaff in large steel mesh containers.

Congrats on getting your wood done Lou! Wish I was done with mine but seems like I stay behind lately. I agree with you on Loren being an asset, he is also an inspiration. We are lucky to have several people like that on this board. I feel fortunate to be able to access this board for information, inspiration, and a sharing of a way of life we all seem to love. Lee

Great pictures thank you for sharing!!! This truely is a great board,I was on here a lot almost 10 years ago than it seemed to get a little hostile by times so kinda got away from it. I recently started checking it more lately and it is a lot more welcoming and friendly than it was before,lots of great folks on here willing to lend friendly advice and words of encouragement!

SWMBO didn't want the mess cutting wood makes so told her she has to pay for the propane
