Woodcutting

We went woodcutting for the first time this year yesterday. I know, it’s not a good idea to wait so long when you heat with wood but…

It was a nice day for it and no one cut themselves with the chainsaw and we spent the day with friends!

Then all the limbs go into giant piles to chip

Then the boys load the cut up wood into the quad trailer and take it to the truck. That is if William isn’t dead in the trailer…

Then you mess around with the chainsaw for a funny picture…

Then you build a fire to cook hot dogs and chili for lunch

Lastly, you celebrate being done by driving the quad up to the top of the mountain to enjoy the view!
