Well the weather is cooling off a bit. And now that we have the wood stove in, it's time for firewood again.The Fuzz's Sweetie made this nifty thing for carrying it into the trailer. Pretty handy.
Being already here in the woods, there is a ready supply of the stuff. In the past we have had to make wood cutting excursions to bring the stuff home.
But now, the stuff is out there in the "yard".
The Fuzz has been cutting up some of the trees that were pushed down to make way for our septic system. Then, he loads them in the wheelbarrow and rolls them up to the house*.
The wood is pretty much dried out, just a little damp from laying on the ground. The pieces are mostly small enough not to need splitting. Here you can see his little buddy keeping him company on the job.
On the left, you can see the trailer in the background. It's not really too far to roll the wood, and it's a whole lot easier than-
1- Driving out here,
2- Cutting it,
3- Loading the truck,
4- Driving home
5- And stacking it.
We've got a small pile covered with a piece of tarp near the door. We do keep a bit inside, by the heater, ready to use. The Fuzz usually gets up at least once during the night to check the fire and add wood. But at his age, he's usually up anyway.
How 'bout those Green walls!
*Those very professional guys who moved the trailer always referred to it as "the house". The Fuzz thought this a bit curious at the time, but now finds himself doing it.

it's hard to beat a cozy wood fire for comfort.
I'm guessing that stove is working well then? It certainly looks awesome!
