My Norwegian wood stack is taking shape. I split a few logs today and laid down the first two layers.

Here’s another 360° view:

This is good fun - and good exercise too!

    ER? I hope you’re okay.

    Yes I knew about the roof. Although technically you don’t need one: you can just put a tarp over the stack and put regular logs over the tarp to pin it down. But it doesn’t look as nice of course.

    Actually I split a bunch of plank-shaped tiles this morning. I have a lot of really thick trunk slices and I can wield a maul well enough to split inch-thick flat sheets out of them fairly repeatably 🙂

      Oh my!, in the voice of George Takei, that is rather exciting… all those tick trunks sliced into nice flat tiles. I envy you.

      I gave up the house for an easier-to-manage condo, and while I have a fireplace, I do not have a wood stove and don’t think it would be worth the effort to put one in and, at any rate, the condo association is bitchy about storing wood.

      ER went fine. They couldn’t figure out what’s wrong, but they put through the tests of everything that would kill me right away. Ruled out: enlarged heart, pneumonia, GI tract issues, and a few other things, so I have a little bit of peace of mind. It could be an arrythmia I think, inherited from my mother. I was following my pulse this morning and pretty sure I dropped a beat or two. Next step is a stress test and I’m not looking forward to it because I hate running for any length of time.
