Break from the foundation job while the concrete sets.

Hooked up the trailer and fetched the first load of firewood Audra* has left in the forest for us.

Hauled away the old man's old plow, which completes cleaning up the junk pile under the power line.

Then some concrete pylon juggling. Resulting in a storage area for sawmill logs, one for firewood logs and a better firewood processing area, to be upgraded further. Also a place to park the little trailer.

* Lithuanian word for storm and also a common female first name

Tackling the big fallen apple tree.

The trunk was hollow with rot inside and yet it made all those (small and sour) apples.

In between, a lot of chainsaw problems. Oiler blocked because some wood chips got in there somehow and then when I fixed that the next pull the stupid double-recoil starter broke.

Luckily its a standard Zenoah clone and lookit, the entire recoil assembly from a donor body fit right on it. Style upgrade, too! 😁

And it has normal pull start now. I hated that double recoil "feature".

The tree had a load of branches and fell on another two trees breaking another big branch, so its a mess to clear out and a lot of branches to drag out to the now huge piles.

The last of Alan Birch is finally split and stacked.

This was a tough birch. I thought I lost my mojo but some ancient oak and fresh maple logs did split just fine so it was just that this birch was really tough. Probably because it didn't grow in a forest but on its own on a windy hill. Sadly it rotted inside as forked trunks often do.

As you can see I resorted to the chainsaw for some of the knottier pieces, the rest with wedge and axe.

Very satisfying, those last few strokes when the log starts cracking and at the next stroke the wedge sinks in deep.

"family friends,
I thank all of you for supporting us to survive through the hardest time in humanity history.
I thought to keep you updated with our latest news.
My youngest child, Saji, instead of going to school like other children to learn, or playing with his toys and dreaming of his future, is helping me light the fire and gather wood and paper."
