 Finally done. I’ll tarp this before the snow comes, but we are pretty solid for emergency heat between this, an 8x8 shed stacked to the ceiling and a Mr. Heater Little Buddy with four 25lb propane tanks and a 100lb propane tank. https://image.nostr.build/2317d4befbfe44c72349a15e4f7b86c4be9df968799b47ffd73329f8c2f1bc58.jpg https://image.nostr.build/331b4522e0f1e83ace1c6b465b85b2b50c48bc28c3b9ad55357f21f51160c6f6.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b98daf916261840e40c4615a59b8a710611ae0a3f3604f64dc90a797e4a7688f.jpg  
 I'm working my way towards chopping some wood. Cool weather is great chopping weather.  
 I wouldn’t be making this public if I were you. In the long cold dark winter when utility prices sky rocket and/or heat gets shut off, people will sniff this stuff out like a, well… large-ish kid in candy store. 
 Haha a pile of candy with a locked gate and a couple shot shells loaded with rock salt for their effort. 
 #Pow! 💪 
 I have about 1/8 that. but I just go to my brothers who has a woods and lotsa chopped up wood. I gotta pay off my nephews who laborerrd a bit for it, but it's a cheap vig 
 Exactly what i did today as well. Cut and hauled another 3 cords, now just need to split it and stack with the rest. Can never have too much firewood. 
 Just living these evening temperatures and doing this with fall in the air. 
 beats the hell out of suffering in the heat during peak summer 
 Nice stack! 
 Nice work, that reminds me that I need to go sweep my chimney. 
 Yes I should do mine too before the roof gets too treacherous. When I was on the fire department this time of year was always extra pay every month because the volume of chimney fires would really spike. 
 Have you ever used Chimfex chimney fire extinguishers? Are they any good? 
 I have not. When I was on the department we just used a charged 1 1/2” line and a long piece of chain. It usually made a pretty good mess in peoples living rooms though. That was a long time ago. 
 They are like a road flare you throw in the stove. It's supposed to remove the oxygen. It keep a couple around, but never had to use one. 
 Nice planning & stack! 
 Nice! 💪 
 Nothing beats a good wood burning stove for winter heat. Really warms to the bone... 
 Proof of wood 👊 
 Reminds me of UTXOs, ultimately everyone won’t be able to have their own stack like yours 😀 
 This pic from a few weeks ago reminded me of the mempool lol. https://image.nostr.build/e94df60f351fa4a5e813edbe4d44a846c3c31dccf63a0a63f57bb8223a159a5f.jpg  
 Damn!! Bad ass 
 Much respect.

As a teenager, family and I lived in a house with nothing but a wood burning stove for heat.

Splitting and stacking wood was a daily chore for 9 months of the year.
