Burning…

Hello, hello!!
Time to pull up the corn hey?
All in good time!

A huge job started under the Macrocarpa trees today. Before we start taking down the next lot of trees (hopefully under controlled circumstances this time) we need to clear the area so we have somewhere to work without falling over pallets, bricks, polypipe, timber, wood etc etc
What a mess!

Not that moving some of those pieces of wood is going to be easy.

I thought we were going to take stuff down to the tip, but Jeff started the fire. Honestly… thats way more fun. Also because a lot of the stuff we were burning this time was drier, it didn’t create that awful smoke.

Its still a work in progress but we did get a LOT of stuff done today.

I need to move more of those big stumps of wood but I had to quit as I was feeling a wee bit of an ouch factor.

Jeff (and I) had cut up a lot of smaller pieces for our fire so I tidied up the big kindling box a bit and filled it as much as I could. I’ll have to set up another place for the rest of it.

In between barrow loads I kept chucking more wood on the fire and raked up the small annoying stuff to throw on too.

While its not exactly pretty, I lined up all the bricks along the bottom of the garden fence… hopefully it will block some gaps and deter those rotten chooks from digging under it as they seem determined to do!

Anyway, reckon this fire will still be going tomorrow so we will be able to clean up a bit more if the weather doesn’t change dramatically.
I think we should look up how to make a proper fire pit too… the cement blocks are starting to crumble.
We enjoy getting into these tasks – very satisfying to make real headway on a job.
Have a great day!
Cheers!
