Been trying to stay busy but working really slow. However, I did complete the task of moving wood into the barn to be ready for winter. There should be close to 3 cord in there and that is what we've been burning for the last 4 winters. We'll see how it goes this winter.
Here is one load ready to be unloaded and stacked.
Final. Some will notice I could have filled out that last row a bit but that is where I ended up with the last load. Not worth hauling that little bit just to fill out a row.
Final from another angle. Notice how sloppy I got in that one area. However, it is still strong and should not fall over. No t-posts or other things used in the stacking; only the wood.
When doing this work I could not help but wonder about some folks also preparing for the coming winter but rather than wood they will burn fuel oil or propane. Some no doubt are facing tremendous costs but here I am with 5 full winter's wood put up and most of it is ready to burn at any time, except for the oak we cut last winter.
