Fie-are

Matt and Jake felled a...large sapling for firewood over the weekend.






They were successful in subduing the small tree, bashing and otherwise managing to get it into stove-sized chunks.

The 2 hours of chopping, hauling and stacking allowed us nearly 30 minutes of pure heated bliss from the wood stove before the fuel ran out.

Jake has been cutting more wood each day since and we have been able to partially heat with the wood stove, which has been nice, especially in the evening when we can get a good hot fire going and heat up the main part of the house. It's lovely to FINALLY be rid of the chill without gaining the worry that we will have to sell a kid to pay the electric bill!
