The Woodshed




This weekend we got more knowledge from a neighbor about firewood. After you cut your trees and logs you need to let the wood dry out for burning. Stacking wood in a lean to or garage is not a good idea. The wood needs airflow to dry out and a roof to keep out the rain. We stacked our wood in a lean to and it does not get dry enough to burn in our wood stove. These photos are of our neighbors woodshed. It is uphill, close to the house and open with a tin roof. His wood is dry and ready to burn or "seasoned". So we are going to have to build one like this for our property. Now we are leaning why people have so many small buildings on their land. Each one has a special purpose; especially the woodshed.
