Did you ever get that funky stove mcmoonter? Your stash will last 4 times as long (at least) if you replace open fires with stoves….

Did you ever get that funky stove mcmoonter?

Not yet, ironically we are just waiting for the worst of the cold to pass before we go to try and get it. We have a big stove in the main hall which heats a huge chunk of the house. The funky stove is for the sitting room.

I know so is (rudimentary) carpentry! next on my ‘to make’ list is a kennel for the growing pooch!

Mcmoonter. He has more wood than…

After a marathon of shifting wood from the shed of eternal dampness, I now have four and a half full bays.

It’s in session right now in front of the stove with a steaming mug of tea!

Still loads less than the local place I go to buy firewood from, there’s little commercial potential there. All for the best, no pressure to sell 🙂

Following the filling of my flip flops with the free Fife firewood. I had to build an extension to my woodshed. It cannot be extendend any further west because of a big Scots Pine, nor east. So this may be the last installment.

So this may be the last installment.

I don’t believe you. 😀

When you can’t build out, build up!

My thoughts exactly! How to add another floor to that?

surely the solution here is obvious? Cut down tree….. extend shed…. put wood from tree in shed

FFS mcmoonter: you’re going to be sorely disappointed when your great great great grandchildren convert the house to use Nano-Fission and there are still four sheds worth of wood left unburnt.

So this may be the last installment.

Addict makes a statement that can easily be rowed back from.

Go on, one more dose, just for old time’s sake, then you’ll give it all up for good.

Amazing. Always the best threads. I am so envious….

….and I like the subtle Father Ted reference in the original post!

The limiting factor for future shed projects is the availability of cheap, recycled roofing material. My source has all but dried up.

Our consumption has heen greatly reduced since I installed the funky new stove. What we have here will last us for ages, but its tough seeing wood that is destined for landfill going to waste.
