Arrow i stock piled it

lots of slab wood in the green house
i have to make kindling each day

i go out and get huge stumps and split them

they are 2 feet across and almost 3 feet high

i cannot carry that much wood in.... KARL
my ankle and back won't take it...

so i load up the wheel barrow (commercial size)
and push it up a ramp right into the house
so that the wheel barrow is taking the weight

i build a fire at 4:30 am as the house is real cold
then i keep the fire burning until around 11:00 pm

i scour craigs list for more free wood opportunities
getting rare to find now...

the wood stove we have ...a fireplace insert rectangular
box isn't all that efficient... and i am going thru 2-3
wheel barrows per day depending on how cold it is.

i could just use the electric heaters but then
you end up with a huge electric bill at the end of the month
