Wood:
It's coming out of my ears! Every weekend for the past month (or more perhaps, I've lost count) we've been cutting, marking, splitting, loading, stacking, transporting, unloading, and stacking again. We're keeping the seasoned wood (ready to be burned) on our screened in porch. Here's our "Quick Grab" pile next to the kitchen door.
An "aerial shot" of our piles at the back of our porch. We've currently got 7 rows....
Here's our "reserve pile" outside; this is the wood that we'll be burning come January as it's not quite seasoned yet. When our porch wood is depleted, this is the stuff that we'll use to "re-fill."
Our truck fashioned with homemade sides for extra wood carrying capacity. Without this baby, there'd be no wood burnin' for us! (Of course, if we didn't have the truck payment, we'd have no problem paying for oil!) But, why pay for oil when you can have the satisfaction of knowing that YOU were able to heat your own house and get a lot of exercise while doing it?! We wouldn't have it any other way!
Yes, it may look like a lot of wood but, it's not!! We're heading out again next weekend and several more will follow suit.Wood, wood, wood, and more wood! What's fall without it? :)

Holy Wood!! haha..I know bad joke;) Wow you guys have been busy!!! Good set up in the porch. You guys must be loving that you have that screened porch!!
Oh, is that porch ever wonderful! I don't know what we'd do without it! There's no way I'd want to go outside during the frigid and snowy winter to get wood every few hours! (Sometimes we even go out onto our porch in our pajamas or undies to get wood!! When ya need it, ya need it!) :)
Looks like you guys were busy! Happy fall!
