Logjam

With nothing much going on building-wise, I'll use the next couple of weeks to catch up on some of our other happenings over the last few months.

While plotting out our driveway location, we were able to have it wander through the trees; thus, saving many of them from death by chainsaw. Unfortunately, as much as we hated it, we did have to clear out the building site for the house. Since this land had never been built on, at least in the last 100 years, many trees had to come down. As you can see in the photo, it created quite a pile - that's my mom standing in front of it.

Tom had the bright idea that he would take a trip to Rhode Island for a couple of days, borrow my dad's chainsaw, rent a log splitter then chop and stack all the logs. Fortunately, I talked him out of it. For the reasonable price of $600, our builder found someone to do all the work for us.
We are now the proud owners of approximately 10 cords of wood! Even with a wood-burning stove and sauna, we should be set for at least a couple of winters.
