Cutting Firewood

My father order a truck load of logs for next years heating season. A few weekends ago my father cut them up with his chainsaw. He is the proud owner of 2 fairly new chainsaws. STIHL Chainsaws offer a significantly powerful saw, at a fairly reasonable price.

After cutting up all the tree sections we carefully piled them so he cut burn them with the outdoor wood burner that he purchased a few years ago. He is putting a building around the outdoor wood burner to keep the wood dry and the weather off of the furnace. Since stacking all the wood he decided to make the building a few feet bigger so guess what? I had to spend more time moving the wood to make room. Hopefully the building stays the same size as I do not want to move the wood again.

Prior to moving the wood for the second time it rained fairly heavily for a few days, so needless to say the ground was soaking wet, making the job that much more uncool! I purchased new Timberland boots and unfortunately got them fairly muddy, but that is what they were bought for!

Overall it felt good to get outdoors after a long winter, so I didn't mind helping my father out.
