We sure do ...Hi, Beth - Thanks for the compliment. We sure do get lots of satisfaction out of seeing the wood piling up in the sheds.<br /><br />Hey, Claire - No,no,no,noooo! No treated wood allowed on our homestead! Those are end pieces of fir that have been hanging around for too long for I-don't-know-what purpose. Some of them even had old signs of carpenter ants that once were in them so we decided to use them for kindling.<br /><br />Hi, Ruthie - Ha-ha! I just wish it would start getting light earlier in the mornings now. Still too hard to get up when it's dark out!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-5528022334040840512010-03-24T20:07:43.806-05:002010-03-24T20:07:43.806-05:00Lots of work!

Looks exhausting to me. ...You guys are so amazing. Looks exhausting to me. One small but maybe important comment I have is: is that treated wood you are chopping for kindling? I hope not, as treated wood gives off arsenic when it is burned, fyi. I learned this from an environmental medicine MD when I was in school and it has always stuck with me.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04959920540469457941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-21459616435977148572010-03-24T09:47:09.253-05:002010-03-24T09:47:09.253-05:00wow! what a lot of work!

Bless your little homesteading heart! We feel exactly the same way you and your hubby do. A full wood shed of good wood says SECURITY as much as a full pantry does. Like gardening, putting up wood is hard physical work (but SO good for our physical bodies!) while being so rewarding. As we're filling the wood shed, Roy is fond of saying, "Better than money in the bank!"Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-25249045637009150602010-03-24T06:53:13.894-05:002010-03-24T06:53:13.894-05:00Your woodshed is one of my favorite things to look...Your woodshed is one of my favorite things to look at! It is so organized, and full, and looking at it gives me a sense of peace and warmth, and it's not even mine, LOL! Hubby, too... one time he asked if I could pull up that pic of yours from last year of the woodshed. I found it, and he just says, "wow, that's awesome", and walks away. I think being from Oregon he really loves chopping wood and all things woodworking, he is itching to move and get started on our own wood supply! Looks like you got alot accomplished!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.com
