Heat is Overrated

Look what we ordered! A semi load of wood! This picture does not do it justice. It is a TON of wood. This is roughly around 15 cords - we are thinking that we will go through about 2-3 cords a winter (although I am thinking more like 2). So, this wood will last us a LONG time- which is the whole point. We will be nice and toasty warm for the next 6-7 years. :) Good thing Jake got himself a new-to-him chainsaw. Jake and the chainsaw have a lot of work ahead of them!

Wow! Jake has got his work cut out for him!

I take it you guys don't have to mess with the red, yellow and green burn days? It seems like every winter, the days that when I want start a fire it's always a red air day- so i can't! I just may have to replace my wood burning fireplace for gas... so that I can use it!

WOW! We had a wood stove in Moscow and gathered, chopped and burned wood. I can only imagine what this pile looks like in real life. Jake and his new-to-him chain saw will get a work out! It will make your house so nice and toasty.
