The Firewood Drama Ends

Hello everyone! 😎

The heat is not letting up here. Such a drought, say the old people, they do not remember. I would like to see cooling down.

Even though my family and I were on the coast for almost a month, where I could cool off in the sea (with a cold glass of beer in my hand 🍻😎), I'd like to go there again. Unfortunately for me, that won't be possible for at least another four weeks because of my job commitments here.

Well, if I have to be at home, and even though it's quite hot, I have to finish one thing.
This is a follow on from my posts Cleaning The Orchard and Cutting Firewood and the end of the story.

Why the drama?
Well, it's more of a marketing thing. If you write drama in the title of your post, you'll definitely attract more attention than if you write the end of firewood preparation for winter or something like that :) 😁

Basically, a couple of months ago, I cut down some old trees in one of my mother's orchards, cut them to the appropriate length, and stacked them in front of the woodshed to dry.

Now everything had to be chopped up to go into her central heating stove. Yes, she has oil too, but heating oil is quite expensive these days, so firewood is a cheaper solution for heating in winter.
Well, I have electric panel heating in my flat, and electricity is even more expensive, (hopefully we won't go bankrupt because of heating in the winter that will come in a couple of months...).

I quickly set up a place for chopping firewood in the orchard next to the woodshed. It's lucky I have a wood log splitter, I can't imagine having to chop it all up with an ax :)

There is nothing to do but roll up my sleeves and act. I'm off to a good start.

That was enough for today.
I mustn't stay too long because this electrohydraulic machine could break down. By the way, this wood splitter is bloody heavy, I can't even move it myself, I need help to get it out of the garage and back in...

How does it work? Here's the animation, from the phone recording. 😁

I continue the next day, in the late afternoon, when the heat has dropped a little.

Thank God, there is less and less of it.

On the other side, the stack is getting bigger.

It's slowly coming to an end. I just need to pack the firewood a little better.

As there is still some firewood left from last winter, I hope there will be enough for this winter. The firewood will continue to dry here, but if it rains (I don't think it will for a while), we'll cover it with something. Then they will go into the woodshed. I'll get my boys to do it.

Finally, the end of this drama! :) 😁

Thank you for your attention.
