Burning Fan
May. 16th, 2020 05:53 pmWe once again had ideal conditions for doing another debris burn: almost no wind at all, cool temperatures, and overcast to keep the sun from baking us.
( Getting Prepared )
With the pile ready to go, Lisa (who was up much earlier than me) staged the hoses and garden tools while I got a cup of coffee, and we were ready to do some burning.
( Round 3 of the Great Fernley House Brush Burning )
We may have managed to dispose of about half the total volume of lawn debris we had piled up. There are two weekends left before burn season ends on May 31, so we need to plan for finishing the job.
( Spread Out )
We wish the fire district would allow us to use a burn barrel. It would be much easier because we could put it up on rocks with holes around the bottom edge of the barrel. That would allow air to feed into the bottom of the fire and result in a much hotter and more efficient burn.
As it happens, we got done at a good time, as the overcast was fading and so was Lisa. She'd fallen against a corner brick wall on the property while bringing hoses out for setup, and was in a fair bit of pain by the time we were done, so she needed to take the rest of the day off. I'm glad we were able to work together on this, though, because I think it's much safer to do this with two people than one.
