Firewood

in #homesteading6 years ago

Firewood is my favourite job. I'm not very good a finishing what I start, therefore firewood is perfect for me. It is required to be done every year, if you dont finish it all at once, start again, finish again. Always on the go!!

Also another great thing about firewood is that it warms you up at least 3 times before you have even burnt it. The 4th time is an added bonus.

I am going to look into buying in a B-double load of logs and ring and split them, then sell on and make a bit of money on the side. Hopefully!

Anyways, currently I have a heap of ringed gum which needs split. I had a go last night, however it is fairly dry, and therefore very very hard to split. I soon gave up, hence the very small pile of split wood. I'm going to need to hire a log splitter I think. 20180710_172602.jpgThe stacked split stuff was already there, and unfortunately im not allowed to use or sell it.

You def need a log splitter bro. But its a great work out. You should consider milling some up at boards to make some extra money if you're going to buy the full log. I'd love to have the space to do that.

Yeah that is a pretty good idea. I have seen the guide/jig you can buy for a chainsaw to set the thickness of the plank. Yeah fortunate with this new place having a lot of space for activities like this!

yeh its called a Canadian Mill or a Chainsaw mill. They are really handy. I'd love one myself to make my own slabs.

What part of NZ are you in? I'm in Brisbane personally so can't really be of much help to you in that endevour lol

Oh yes that's the one, I'll keep an eye out for one. I'm in Central Otago. Well if you're ever over this way!

Cool mate, yeah I've been there 3 times on holidays, I love the South Island. We have seriously considered moving the family over there. The only thing that stopped us was the lack of jobs.
Oh and its full of bloody Kiwis hahahah
