Have it out of the way of the stove but need to move it around some more to get things to feel right in there. Then on to other gottados…

Started the first fire of the season. Feels and smells quite nice. Still trying to figure out the layout for the furniture in the room.

Pipes cleaned, elbow replaced, ashes from last fire of the spring removed and hauled outside. Cut up a piece of heart pine for kindling.

Took the outside elbow out to clean the pipes and found that it had a hole rusted in it. Which necessitated a trip to Lowe’s for a new one.

Decided since it was getting quite cool out, that it was time to clean the flue and fire up the woodburner.

Then I can get the ladder in there and take a closer look. If I last that long. Right now want to crawl back in bed and sleep the day away.

Still don’t see where the leak is originating from. Got a couple of more trees to take out after lunch/resting/warming up.

One of those jobs I have been dreading for years but as 2 of them are dead and the others are dying tis time to clear them all out.

Got the path cleared into the section between buildings and have started clearing out the smaller trees. Looks like all the pines gotta go.

Sharp axes cut SO much better. Looks like I’m gonna have to put a handle in this one soon though. Glad I got the shaving horse fixed.

Had to come in and cool off/rest for a bit. If I don’t collapse will try to get back out and at least finish the path/road into that area.

Got further than I had figured I would. Even found a end section of scaffolding that I had lost far too many years ago.

Not a project to start on a wet cold day. Will see how far I get prior to total exhaustion. Think it’s time to charge the tractor battery.

After a bit more of a rest. Still got a lot more brush to clear but need to clear the entire side as some of the big pines need dropping.

After I sharpen the axe or put a handle in the other axe. Or work on the chainsaw and sharpen the chain. Think I’ll start with sharpening.
