We know when we wake up in the morning and it’s only 40 degrees that fall is right around the corner. A couple weeks ago, David went with some friends to get our first load of wood. They went to the Inland Empire Paper Company site just above Spirit Lake. The loggers leave smaller logs in huge piles by the side of the roadway. These are perfect for our wood stove as David won’t have to split them. Unlike the big rounds leftover from last year that David just finished splitting with the maul.
John climbed up into the trailer and we thought he would be able to toss the logs down to us, but he decided that he wanted to help stack. The job didn’t take too long. Next cool day, David is off to get more. He estimates that we need 4 full cords to get us through the winter! That’s a LOT of chopping.
