Over the past few weeks, I built two wood racks behind the woodshop. Each one holds roughly a full cord of firewood and has a covered roof so the wood can stay dry and season properly. Between the racks and the location, it should make storing and accessing firewood much easier as the cold months settle in.
We purchased a load of wood from a local vendor and also received a generous amount from a neighbor who has been pruning trees on his property. Little by little, the racks are filling up.
We love having a fire going on cold winter days. It creates a warmth that feels different from simply running the heat. Preparing the wood now makes those moments possible later, and it feels good to have a solid start on what we will need for the season.
