So - yea - the work goes on. David almost seems to enjoy this time of what he considers de-stressing. It, of course, has stress of its own. He has done the math - - - and figures another 1-1/2 hours and he'll be done with the chain-saw. (I for one will be very glad when this hour comes and has gone without incident). He is so careful - and does not do this unless someone is home. Wise move I think. If I'm not mistaken I believe he figures that it is about 10 hours time to cut up the 5 cords of log-length that we purchase. What is pictured here un-cut is probably 1/4 of the pile. This was taken BEFORE the estimate of 1-1/2 hours remaining...
So from the chainsaw work, he naturally moves to splitting. He does this all by hand... He is VERY GOOD at this. Has also figured about four hours a cord. Not bad for a guy over 40! Ehh?
Well, it was a pretty busy weekend. While we are busy - the girls stay outside and keep themselves occupied pretty well. Yesterday they HELPED THEMSELVES TO SMORES!! Ingrid even found our very cool roasting sticks ON TOP of the frig!! I'd call that resourceful. And YES - I made them take in the 6-pack of Hershey's she found way UP in the cupboard (I thought they were hidden and not known about) - and made them keep it to ONE chocolate bar PER ROASTING SESSION PLEASE!!!

One chocolate bar per roasting session?? Wow, you're tough. Or is that so you can get into the candy bars later?
