So, LOML ordered a cord of firewood a little while ago. It arrived, was dumped in the driveway, and, eventually, stacked in the garage.

The load was approx 90% ash, rough split with a power splitter.

Anyway, I told LOML that we were out of firewood the other day and she said "ALREADY? WTF???" but ordered another 2 cords - this time it's supposed to be mostly oak.

Later, LOML went to look for something in the garage the other day and found something that, apparently, surprised her. When I got home yesterday she asked me what the HUGE pile of firewood was doing hidden in the corner of the garage. I feigned surprise and asked "what wood?" and she told me that I knew very well that she was talking about the pile of approximately 1/2 cord of ash firewood that is all gnarly and twisted and ugly looking....

heh heh

I guess she didn't know what it was like to live with a wood turner ;)

Cheers!

Gary (can't wait to get my mitts on the oak.... (grin))

Sounds like she is lucky to have a bed room suit made from wood or other items in the house. I told my wife what you had posted and she said i better not even think of looking around this house.
 
Gary, Gary, Gary!!!

I haven't known what firewood is for years! We've had to convert our fireplace to gas! When I was younger we would take a nice drive through a beautiful forest, and I'd wistfully say "Boy, look at all that firewood!" Now we take the same drive, and I say . . .




. . . What else? "Think of all the pens I could make!"

;-)

Yup - bringing wood in for the fire has pretty been a process of bring 4 pieces in, then take 3 (grarly, twisted, and ugly ones) of them back out and hide 'em in the corner of the garage.

heheheheheehehheheheeheheheh

I know what you mean about going for a drive: I am unsafe on any divided highway now, as I am usually busy scanning the trees in the middle to see if anything interesting catches my eye....

Cheers!

What did she think she was ordering wood for anyways???????????? Like you were going to actually burn it or something...........ROFLMAO
 
Good Heavens has the poor woman gone daft, BURN firewood I've never heard of such a thing, Exactly why does she think wood lathes were invented, gently explain to her, that way you don't have to burn it honey look at the greenhouse gas I'm preventing,

PS if it works let me know will you, I frequently get caught raiding the wood pile.
