Firewood at 105% of Capacity
Mar. 15th, 2025 06:49 pmThis morning, Lisa hitched up the utility trailer to the Small Orange Pickup and we went over to Big R shortly after they opened at 7 AM and collected what we hope will be the final pallet of Pres-to-Logs this season. This pallet was not in the best of shape, and despite Lisa being very cautious on the slow drive home, things didn't go that well.
( Emergency Unloading and Filling the Box )
Measuring only based on the large wood box, we are now at 105% of capacity on firewood, as the small box on the front porch and the ready supply of up to 24 logs in the living room were also full. We pulled the pallets out of the trailer for later reduction to kindling (the pallets are untreated wood, so we consider them safe to burn), I put the plastic wrap into the trash, and Lisa put the trailer and pickup away. She then went to bed, having been up all night working on a project. I'll see her again in the wee hours of Sunday morning as we plan to go grocery shopping.
I was very glad to get all of that wood put away, as the wind came up this afternoon, and it looks like it might rain. I would have been very annoyed to have spent all that money on firewood only to have it make like the Wicked Witch of the West.
