Over the last couple of months or so, we have had several very windy days, and there have been numerous trees down all over the place. I have been very busy trying to get as much wood in and processed as possible. The wheelbarrow and our small hatchback car have all been overloaded at times, but the end result is worth it. Loads of (sort of) free wood, and all happily seasoning now ready for future use. the great thing is that we already have our wood for 2012-13 nicely seasoned, and the silver birch that lost a limb on the trail behind our house will be going into our 2013-14 wood pile. Most of the scrounging was oak, which is for longer term seasoning, possibly winter 2015-16. Our wood piles look pretty good now, although with so many stacks everywhere, it's a tad difficult working out how many cords I have got.
