It’s a bit late in the year but we have had our firewood delivery for the winter. Normally you would get the wood in June to give it more time to dry out in the summer, but I’ve been a bit busy with other things. Fortunately we had a little left over from last year from the previous house which came over in the trailer. Each photo shows 1 cord (3 cubic meters) of firewood, stacked and the pile as delivered.

Firewood stackedBefore delivery I put a tarpaulin down to stop all the sawdust and loose bits covering the gravel.
This year we got two cords or wood and hopefully shouldn’t use all of it, so leaving some of the logs to dry out for next year. In future we should only need 1 cord per year and then use last years’ delivery of mature wood.
