Dean the Wood Chopping crazy man

[DeanS]

So I calculated....8 logs a day...30days a month...Oct to Feb = 1200 logs.

I have been cutting logs for 2 days...with a bow saw I recently bought at B&Q.

 

Total logs now on roof of boat = 20.

Condition of body = shattered.

 

Family will probably all die of extreme cold.

Was lovely being a forum member.

Old men chop 15-20 cubic meters of firewood out of 3 meter logs every year over here. You will survive :-)

how many logs is that then????

[Caprifool]

A huge woodshed full Never counted. Depends on the thickness of the birch trees.

[DeanS]

I've come to a belated decision that it's easier to cut long bits, stash them on the boat roof, and cut them into smaller bits later...rather than trying to cut little bits now Does it sound like I'm getting lazy. Tough.LOL

mmmmmmmmmmm Dean u r a one, Wood is for boat building not fore stoves, get yerself some black stuff in bags it is far superior and comes ready chopped....

[DeanS]

I dont think I have seen another boat with a roof of belongings on like ours...and it's about to get worse...MUCH worse. I try and keep things neat, (being overly conscious of every boat that goes past us with bowls of flowers, and pristinely placed pole and board on), but somehow I know that when people see us coming along...they know...it's dem liveaboard folk......I'm so ashamed of my huge television aerial on a pole....I would get a smaller one, but there's times I gotta get dat tv signal high in the sky....and the kids aerial is falling apart...it'll be time for a sat dish soon...ah well....at least, as I sit here tonight...with gennie humming softly, all the kids are happy on the Xbox, and SWMBO is watching Celebrity Big Brother

When I was a kid some of the older men still stacked firewood to dry the old way. The competition of who had the highest or best stacked one was fierce! I wanted to share a pic with you, but only found one showing the same type of stacks in Estonia.

Take only dead trees that are standing, the woods dry and easier to cut/chop, and Ash burns fierce..

Yup...could never bring myself to chop any living tree...and rotting old branches on the ground are like chalk...found some that were upright...no branches or leaves....old wood....looks promising. Wood is actually quite hard to find, but might take a trip the long way back to our winter moorings...through some countryside.
