A few days before our recent rain and snow I got the rest of the cut branches stacked in the patio. I barely got it done before the rain started. Last year and this Summer I left the cut branches out on the stacked logs by the garage. This was to keep them in the sun and heat so they would dry better and faster. But the last few weeks I've been moving them bit by bit, wheelbarrow by wheelbarrow, into the patio where they will be protected from the rain and snow. Alway good to put dry wood in my woodstove in order to heat my house.
Here is the log pile from last year. I added more branches this year before moving them to the patio. The second photo is what the log pile looks like now after I moved the cut branches.
Again, I added more branches to the pile after this photo was taken. So the log pile was even higher as I had to throw the cut branches to the top of the pile.
After this photo was taken last year I cut half of the pile into smaller pieces. I cut the rest of the pile this Spring.
Now it is time to use the cut branches in my woodstove to heat my house.
