@haskar Just to put your mind at ease- we do not go out and go down trees randomly. All of the wood you see here has been offered to us by people who know we heat our home with wood. Some of these trees- although they look good here- were dead, damaged by storms or insects, and basically "sick" but still useful for heat. Some of them had toppled in woods on private property and others were leaning dangerously towards falling on houses. I am right there with you on the concern of taking down too many trees. I have seen too many people take down trees in my community because they were in the wrong place for landscaping or they just didn't like them. That was not the case with these. And sadly in those cases where a tree was cut down just because the homeowner didn't like it, the wood often is left to rot. But this wood won't be discarded. It will go to good use!
holy Moly! It made me ache to think of Jeff splitting all of that ! Good to know he has a splitter but it will still be lots of work.I know it will warm him twice too! Terrific shot for the category! Do you use only wood to heat with?
Thank you Harry, Milanie, Marnie, Brian, Frances, Stephanie, Issi, Babs, Rob, Diana, Katrina, Joan, and Paul!
@golftragic No axe- Jeff gets a wood splitter!
@pej2 Yes, and thankfully I don't have to do it!
Thank you Marilyn, Nina, and Haskar!
