Late last weeks chores

I never buy wood we just burn scrap wood as well always seem to have plenty around here.

We had a yard full of trees too. We still have wood to burn outside. We even supplied the neighbors with wood to burn. My son likes to sit outside with a fire going.

I wish I could chop my own firewood!LOL Just not strong enough. And my husband is always working and when he has a day off he doesnt do much at all. I would have to say he is a lazy person! Enough about him I finally got my garden started . Still have to get alittle more impatients and some mulch. Then watch my little flowers grow.LOL Yes we buy our firewood.

I gave up chopping wood many years ago as I went on to the modern gas fire that instantly gives out heat especialy in the cold winter months. Have a great lo on from Deeeky

We can't get much firewood from our garden. We do have gum trees pout the front that drop branches. They can be useful & produce a wonderful eucalyptus smell when burnt. Many years we have bought fire coals, or go collecting pines. We are very lucky this year. Our friends, who moved interstate, gave us lots & lots of wood for a fire this year. Are you able to get enough wood from your yard, or do you have to buy some too? I know you love your bonfire as much as us.

well i live in India and we usually use coal here so no firewood........

We always have a little bit of wood stored up from last years cleaning.. and we use this for our bonfire for our annual reunion and bash we have in late august..

I heat by electricity here in the city. My mother lives in another city she has a fireplace, but she hardly ever uses it. She finds the wood way too expensive to buy, and she doesn't have any trees her her yard.

I love stump bonfires. man these stumps will burn forever- over one season- just burning down a little each time- but keeping the fire going. big stumps that is! Every year we cut firewood ~ Usually in the Fall. To be honest it is one thing that relieves stress- I love being in the woods. It's a family event- My sig other uses the chain saw-- my daughter and I get the wood and split it (with a log splitter of course) I usually grab the wood and put it up and my daughter runs the handle :) then we both toss it into the wagon- then into the truck... My sig other and I stack the wood--- he does more though- We have enough wood right now to heat our house for the next 3 years--- this year we are cutting to sell some of it to others. It is a lot of work-- but it's fun and extra money- and it only costs us the gas (vehicle and chain saws) and our time :) My parents also cut wood with us-- just not as often ...

We collect our own firewood for the fireplace. That's the most cost-effective way if your relying on wood for heat in the colder months. We have enough for this winter and are now working on cutting/splitting for the following winter. Want to keep a season ahead so as to give the wood plenty of time to season thoroughly.

Wow I have always wanted to use a chainsaw honey! lol Its quite hard work though isn't it? I wish I had a fire I could use for burning wood but I don't o I don't get it anywhere! xxx

hi grandpa bob we have a gas fireplace and that wouldbe lovely except for one thing,all the boxes we have still in our living room, nice neat boxes stacked four high that my son declares there is no place to store them yet some have books in them that could be put on the shelves. but no he won't let me do that as he has his own idea of where they should go.what has this to do with a fireplace? a lot as they are in front of the fireplace. we could use wood but now because of the boxes we cannot use it] at all.He is a lovelyman but he is also a pack rat. Had we thrown out all that I wished to when we moved there would be no boxes and we could enjoy our fireplace.lol But life does go on. wewould have to buy wood from our supermarket if we chose to go the wood way.
