It is said that firewood warms the user several times over as you cut it, split it, stack it, and finally burn it. It is certainly true that feeding Garden Monster warms me several times over. One of those occasions is when a truckload of wood is delivered. The mountain of wood needs to be moved to the shelter of the covered hoophouse, close to the wood burner.
I move the pile one wheelbarrow load at a time. It is a rather monotonous undertaking.

Willow House Chronicles 
That’s pretty cool. Reminds me of a story I saw on NBC news a couple of weeks ago about turning shipping containers into houses. The US doesn’t export anything, so the 33000 lb containers are too expensive to ship back to China. They use them to build houses which are hurricane proof and end up being pretty nice.
Guess I’m not going to feel too hard done by as I carry the dog kibble home today!
Sounds interesting, Barkri, although I would need major renovations before I would want to live in a container! Are you familiar with Habitat 67? That looks like stacked container boxes: http://www.habitat67.ca
Lavenderbay, it saves on the gym fees!
