Wood in the Fall


A whole season has passed since the last update. I guess thats what being happily employed full time (+) with the US Census will do to free time.

Today we had a half cord of wood delivered to the house. Because of hanging power lines, the delivery guy had to drop it all at the end of the driveway. Luckily, I was able to persuade him that it couldnt block the sidewalk or easement.

You can see the distance that the wood needed to travel in the background.


Here is the empty space it was headed to.




I put in the first hour of work, using the Stallone technique, utilizing just a wood bag and some gloves. (made from recycled PET!!) Olivia got home for the last 30-40 minutes and decided she would work "smarter." She used our dolly and pushed the wood to the garage. Because of her help we got done before sundown.



Here's the final wood pyramid. Olivia's design. (I was going more for a straight box).
