For Logging

I have a huge pile of lumber awaiting attention. People are very kind to me in making it available. Usually I when I collect it the timber is already cut up in to manageable lengths.

There then remains the job of splitting it....

This is the log splitter in action. It is a powerful machine and is indeed much more powerful than one household would normally need.

However the difference is that I own it as part of a co-operative. There are three of us who use it. We all share the same gardener - Stuart, seen here in action.

It is useful on a day when the weather is really foul to have inside work like this....

The logs that you see are then simply stacked outside to dry over the summer in readiness for next winter.
