Knock on wood...

Wood delivery today and as you can see this involves a bit more than just nipping to the local petrol station to pick up an overpriced bag of kindling. Should keep us going until next winter though. The wood is ordered here in a cordes and steres, three steres make up a corde an a corde is equal to 3 square metres of wood.

The wood is literally dumped in the driveway, we avoided having it dropped over the caves this year because of the vibrations. Then comes the task of re-filling the empty wood store.

Some hours later a beautifully re-filled woodstore and two happy dogs that have spent the enitre day sniffing each piece of wood as it made its way onto the stack!
