Fuel!

For those of you who are friends with me on Facebook, you'll be used to seeing a thousand one pictures of firewood being/having been created and may be wondering what's going to happen to it all...

Well, we had the van for the whole weekend, so Sunday way spent shifting the firewood! We had a lot to shift, and as it's heavy work and the bodach is getting on a bit, I had my friend Janni help me and the bodach's job was to stack at the other end...

But first there was the dilema of how to store it all as I no longer had an abundance of out houses to choose from... I had managed to get my hands on some old pallets for free and we set about building the stick shed!...

Stage 1: floor and walls!

Off to the old house we go to start loading... First stop, shed number two with all the unseasoned wood:

This is just one wall, there was more on the other side...

All in all it took 3 and a bit van loads to empty this shed...

Janni and wheelbarrow with the last of Shed 2's wood. Looks really heavy!

Meanwhile, back at the new house, the bodach is busy stacking...

We then filled the van up with as much seasoned wood from Shed No. 1 as we possibly could and headed back to the new house:

Girl power all the way! Who needs men!...

We didn't manage to shift it all, but as the old house is on my way home from work, I decided I would just have to load the car every day until I was done... 

At the end of the day...

Of course it snowed mid week before I got the chance to put the roof on...

The next day and we have a roof!. Not actually attached or felted yet, but the rounds do a good job of keeping it on...

All of the wood for the stick shed, apart from the roof, was free! :) All of the fire wood was free too! Just a lot of hard work!...

A week later and we have more wood shifted and everything gets neatly stacked!

But we have to keep the rain out of course!

I'll have to get some more pallets and build another stick shed, but there's no hurry...
