Front Cleared

Hi!!
Jeff came home off nightshift and started splitting more wood. I was stacking it until Fiona and Paul turned up with the wood chipper that they borrowed to lend us 😀

Paul awesomely brought along his bigger chainsaw and cut the rest of the bigger pieces out the front so we could finish clearing the side of the highway. Fiona helped drag heaps of stuff around too!!
How great is my family??

Once Paul was done, we stopped and had a cuppa – and a slice of apple pie and enjoyed sitting in the sunshine out the back having a chat.
Inside is not really good at the moment… dead rat time! Blah! Time to dehydrate some garlic I think!!

At least now we have most of the wood in various organised piles. It will be interesting to get the wood chipper going and see how it works and if its going to be worth the time it takes to run the smaller stuff through it. (I hope so)

Paul and Fiona departed and Jeff went to bed, but I was keen to finish up at the front before it got dark…

All that is left is a few scrappy piles that I raked together that I can pick up in the wheelbarrow tomorrow or whenever. Also the last of the big logs that I thought I shouldn’t pick up by myself.

So very glad to have that part done!!
Now we can process it all at a bit more of a leisurely pace. I am sure we will get the fire going again. I might even learn how to chop the wood too! Who knows!!
I am off to bed! Apparently the weather is supposed to be pretty nice again tomorrow!
Cheers!
