Tree wood
« on: September 23, 2017, 20:44:45 »
I am a little embarrassed to share with the world that in 16 years of living in a place surrounded by my own trees, this year is the first time we have harvested any logs (we usually buy them in  :shy: ).

This year we had one tree commit suicide and another that was well on the way, so, enter some bloke with a Chainsaw and a Log Splitter and ta daaa, tree wood  :lala:

Given my extensive Management experience I delegated the stacking job to Dragonlady   :whistle:

Can I hear drumming?

Must be a logarithm.
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Bark and sap spring to mind but I won't go there.....  :whistle:

Not sure about getting outside help to sort your own trees out though, shame on you Fat Rat!  :xmas-smile:

Oak or Chestnut?

Must let it stand for at least a year or it won't burn efficiently.  :)
So how's it going so far then?

Good job getting the pile off the ground. It's less likely to attract critters.
