Bad news - The plastic cover for the tractor barn is leaking after 20 years of UV rays and the rain pounding on it.
Good news - The company where I bought it is still in business, pulled up my original purchase order and can sell me a new cover.
Bad news - Gotta move about 3 cords of firewood to get at the ratchet straps that secure the cover to the pipe frame.
Good news - If I shuffle some other stuff around then I can move that wood to the woodshed next to the garage.

Gonna be a lot of to-ing and fro-ing happening once we get a spell of dry weather here in the PNW. Might possibly be a cold beverage involved.

First load test successful. Got a "trunk" full of firewood to the house. Should probably improve the mounting system somewhat 😆

The firewood store upgrades from last year have worked well. The recycled concrete pylons kept everything off the ground and well ventilated, even now during peak mud (melt) season. Some have sunk in a little under the weight, I guess every now and then I need to rebed them.

The replaced support posts haven't moved either and won't rot away like the old as they're no longer touching the soil.

Now to build another one like it :)

The melt is slowly returning some of my stuff.

Along with a bunch of mud and puddles.

Here's why you have a sacrificial old bar and chain for your saw when cutting yard trees. Didn't hit it, but knew there was metal in there; just didn't expect to find this much when splitting it! #firewood #chainsaw

The little firewood stash I built from scrap survived the winter intact. Some slight dents in the roof from heavy snow and ice, but good enough.

Alder is relatively light but has almost the same compressive strength as spruce/pine.

Not that much left of the old stuff, but I think I'll not try getting more without snow chains.

#bat #firewood

The very last piece of firewood on my porch had a bat under it. Didn't have my phone on me, and didn't want to play, so there's no pics. I put a couple small pieces of wood on top, and I guess I'll hope for the best. See if it's gone in the spring

It would all be easier if I didn't care. Brush off the black spiders, rehome the woolly bears, protect the snake and bat roosts... Using firewood is a *process*...
