To all the Hearth members. I love this site, but have not posted in some time.
I don't know how many of you out there remember me or my posts. I got interested in becoming a woodburner a while back and started building my stacks from scrounges here and there. Nice to have the anticipation of the comfort that all the effort of cutting, splitting and stacking would supply in the coming season.
My plan was to have a stove in our home this fall. Well, the scrounging part has been succesfull. I have close to 11 cords of Oak, Maple, Walnut, Ash, Mulberry, Elm and Locust in the yard drying is these hot rainless days that have plagued Michigan and a lot of the other states this year. I'm not complaining. I know there are a bunch of people out there trying to make ends meet just like myself, but I had my heart set on getting set up for this year and it just isn't going to happen. It's just dollars and cents and I am still working on the dollars part.
So the stacks will age in the yard and I will continue to add to them at every oppertunity. It's just going to be real hard to hear that gas furnace lighting up this winter.
Take care,
Tim
