Making Wood

We like a fire.  
We do not heat our home with wood, but we enjoy our fireplace and our outdoor firepit.
 In order to have a fire, one needs wood.  
Since we no longer have a woodlot
we purchase wood.
We order our wood by the logging truckload.

Here comes our wood!
A squirrel watches the action.
Happy guy gets his wood.
Consulting about where to place the pile.
Starting to unload and set the pile.
Unloading...
Unloading... 
Unloading...
More to go...

Once the entire load is piled in the yard,
Michael saws the wood into smaller pieces.
Michael later chops just enough wood for a 
few fires and piles that in a convenient location--
right on the back deck.

Debarking and sawing the logs into smaller pieces.
Smaller pieces are later chopped and stacked.

Finally we can burn the wood!

A toasty fire indoors.
Coals are great for roasting hotdogs.
Outdoors--blazing winter bonfire!

We do enjoy our fires!!
