Wood! Wood! Wood!

Our spring wood cutting went well with five cords of fireplace wood cut, split, hauled and even some stacked in three days. A special thanks to Ernest and Jerad for falling the big timber, bucking into rounds and splitting, hauling and stacking. Others helping included Celia, Jeff, CJ, Julie, Tony, Pearl and her sister-in-law Cindy, and myself. The hydraulic splitter is an amazing tool that made it possible to get that much wood in just three days.

The pile is still high and deep and will need some stacking so whenever at the cabin for a weekend, bring some gloves and spend a little time moving that pile. This wood will cure for a year before we use it, but there is plenty from our 2007 efforts to get us through this next year.

Summer season is coming up fast and the cabin will get a lot of use this year again. Please let us know if there is anything that needs to be addressed, as in repairs or ideas for improvement.

See you at the cabin!

Time to Cut Wood!

The permit is secured, the roads are clear of snow. Time to come on up and cut wood for the cabin. Due to work schedules of those with the equipment and expertise to handle it, cutting will begin Thursday morning, May 13th. We'll be on the Buck Road just above the Six Trees near the junction. Between rolling buttons to the splitter, splitting, loading trailers and pick-ups, unloading at the cabin, and starting all over again, there is plenty for all to pitch in and help make short work of this project. Hope to see you there!
