Under Cover

Catherine has already blogged about the new woodshed, one of several projects that I've been working on these past few weeks. With the electric wood splitter we now have, Catherine is no longer in need of much help and has been working at filling the new covered space. I've had to move some of the larger logs - the bases of some of these trees are pretty big - but otherwise, she's been able to work away at splitting whenever she wants.

One related job will be to move all the wood we now have under tarps over into the woodshed, but that won't need to be done until fall.

I was asked about the lack of walls. Just to clarify, we don't use walls on these things. Good air flow is important. All I might do, before the winter snows and rains come, is staple up some plastic just to keep the wet out, if it seems necessary. Anyhow, the storage space is now ready, it's getting filled and the building seems to just fit right in with the forest and the landscape of our yard.
