For the first time in eleven years, we burned all of the wood in the woodshed this last winter. We usually have at least a half-cord left, but the weather was unusually cool and damp this last fall and winter, so the use of the wood allowed us to clean out the shed and prepare for the next load of wood.
Living in Maltby allows us to meet many local artisans and vendors. We found a family that recently set up a non-profit organization selling wood and giving the proceeds to a boy's home in Snohomish. They delivered the wood several weeks ago, and over the course of the last week, the wood got transported wheelbarrow by wheelbarrow into the solar woodshed.
The wood will have six months to 'cure' in the sun's heat through the polymer window, and by October, we will be enjoying the dry hardwood in our Sweet Home certified woodstove.
