After a few days of having to switch gears in a direction no one ever wants to go, we were able to get back to some of the things on our To Do list, one of which is splitting wood. My Skippy Man still insists on not letting me help with any of the outside chores so I check on him from time to time and make sure he has water or whatever else he needs.
Wood is our only source of heat so we have to make sure we have a huge supply of it to make it through the winter months. This is just a small portion of what we will need. I am so very thankful we were able to purchase a log splitter last year. Before we purchased it, Skippy would spend at least three hours each evening after working all day, doing it all by hand.....cutting down dead trees in the field with the chain saw, hauling it up to the house and then splitting it all with an ax. It was very time consuming and very physically demanding.
Over the next two months, it will more than likely be an everyday occurrence to make sure we fill the shed and have an extra stockpile on the ready in case of extremely bad weather.
How do you heat your home during the winter months?
