Hard work, and dumb luck..

[Lakeside53]

You all remember the mess in my forest from the winter storms??

http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=40897&page=8&post=108


I've been working my butt off clearing it out, cleaning up and replanting.. Racing spring.. I want it all to heal and grow this year; not wait another year.

Where am I going to put all the wood?

I got to splitting a couple of different days in the past two weeks. 4.5 hours for each of these piles... about all I can take. Hand maul...

Ran out of wood shed, so I built an extension from Doug fir milled a couple of years ago. Spent another two 5 hours sessions hauling.

And now the dumb luck part. All that wood plus the other stuff you can't see fitted exactly, to the piece, into the wood shed... tight packing, but...

And why all this hard work??? This - spring is here... and these little guys are now happy..

I'm now back to where I was last December... and can get back to my life


Except.. I'm out of wood-shed again... Already have 14 cords stacked up behind it under tarps from 2005/2006 winter

The result..

All replanted... even a bunch of ferns and other understory... Looks kind of naked for now, but by June it will be getting thicker...


This is just a small portion.

Ah yes, spring is in the air..

I like your wood shed, When I see trillions all I can think about is Morels.
Snowed again last night. Spring is on hold around here.

Normally It's September, and I'm stressing about getting the drier wood split so we'll have some for the winter. This is the earliest I ever got "done".

I still have three big firs down (off my property) ready to mill... or firewood, or both... and several more comming down later this summer (dying, or damaged). Good thing about Doug fir is that it lasts for years on the ground.

I'll bet it's going to be hard to sell firewood in your area for some time to come. Everyone with a Wildthing has a pile in the back yard.

Spectacular land, and you've done spectacular things with it. That shed fits in very well with the surrounding landscape.

Cheers!!

Exactly what I was thinking. makes me want to redo the drying shed I just built out of random scrap.

Anybody remember "Men on Film" from "In Living Color?"

That shed definitely deserves three snaps in Z-formation!!

I have to do some driving to get to some doug fir, in the local area its all juniper and pinion pine, all of its about 10 foot tall. Just no good trees in the High mountain desert area...
