Sawing, splitting and sweeping neatly, and alliteratively, sums up my Friday endeavours.
In the morning I broke out the chainsaw and cut up logs until the petrol tank ran dry. My endeavours included the fragmentation of three of the large slices of trunk, and the pile of wood now looks significantly smaller.
I then hauled the log splitter from the carport and spent the next few hours splitting the sections of wood into fire-sized logs. 30% was a huge help, as she ferried them up to the log pile in the orchard.
Once the logs had been split, I grabbed a rake, shovel, broom and barrow and cleared up the sawdust.* This was barrowed up to the orchard and will be used as the brown constituent of 30%'s composting experiment.**
By the end of the day we were both exhausted and did very little. Fortunately 30% had the foresight to prepare a Chilli for supper, earlier in the day. We barely needed to chew!

* That was produced by todays chainsawing, AND that was exposed by the removal of more wood from in front of the garage.
** One third grass clippings and two thirds sawdust, with a liberal dousing of nettle tea.
