Wood for winter

Now that we have the you-beaut woodstove, we've had to pile up some logs to go in it! Check out my axe-action!

Gord says my posture is crap, but hey...

...look at that! Three-way-split, thankyou very much, so who gives a fig about posture! (Must admit, it was amazing splitting wood...)

Our efforts. Okay, make that mostly Gord's efforts! He and our neighbour, Brett, cut and hauled five ute-loads of logs from the state forest nearby - took them around eight hours all up. Now we're set for maybe six weeks, which somehow doesn't seem like much time... =)

Impressive wood splitting! Hey summer hasn't been the same with out you guys here in MB so I guess we'll just have to come visit you come winter 2010. Plans are coming together - we'll be based in NZ but hope to spend at least a month in Aus.
