I always wondered how that was done!! thank you......love seeing the kitties,too.
Darrell is a lovely, talented, person. How kind of him to demonstrate stacking of wood. . Nice to have good friends with talent! 🙏🏼❣️♥️❣️🙏🏼
Nice stacking method. Thanks for sharing.
I dont even have a fireplace or woodstove but I found this video very interesting and informative Haha
And omgosh, Darrell's moma sure is a purdy woman!🌹 May we all age that graceful. haha
Yes! She’s the same age as my mother and she can see without glasses 10 feet away that I was putting the wrong stick on!
My ex-husband used to clear fence rows for farmers and bring home the wood from trees he cut. He stacked them very similar to how Darrell does it. Except he put 4 long pieces of rebar (two at each end) stuck in the ground to keep it steady. That old wood kept our house warm during the "Great Blizzard of 77" that blew through our town and kept power off for 3 days.
Good job, Kaye! Now, you know how to do it. Darrell is a great teacher. I love hearing his wisdom. Now, I too know how to stack firewood....yay! Well, us Aussies have strict restrictions for backyard fires so it's a rare thing these days.
Great teamwork and good info! Thank you 😊
Good job Kaye and Darrell. That is the way we have always stacked wood.
Hi Darling i always liike a Lesson x Adorable Darrell. man. that knows his stuff. You look like you have a Sunny Day your end x This reminds me of the Wooden Jenga Game lol.l. X love the smell of wood x Wow looks great. X
I have a feeling the kitties are going to real enjoy the woodpiles! Hope all that wood keeps you warm and toasty this winter. 🔥 🥶
That was really a great video. You are fortunate to have Darell to coach and teach you. I thoroughly enjoyed your videos. Thanks for sharing your life with us🥰💕
Awesome!
Looks great!!! I learned a lot and really enjoyed the video Kaye and Darrell 🎉😍
Very nice. Good to meet Darrell's mother virtually. Gee, the kittens are so big now.
Great to see Darryl again. My favorite part was watching the kitties. Glad you're home & resting in your own bed. 🎃🎃
That's great , thank you Darrell for showing that!
I really really enjoy these videos with Darrell please do more with him. So much knowledge!!!
More to come! He's returning to my place to build a bamboo teepee trellis on Monday! Stay tuned! Also, he is ALWAYS ON THE LIVESTREAM, Tuesdays at 5pm CST, and happy to answer questions. He's got quite a sense of humor.
Cool idea
So fun watching the kitties😊watching Darrell.
Excellent
So much fun watching. Excellent video thank you guys so much. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Dry wood is good!! Good job!!
So sorry kaye, I meant to say Darrell, not darling 😕 .I only just noticed. Was something I didn't know about the 2 ends of wood pile.so great to learn that.thankyou again kaye.
The best quality control group ever 🤗🐈🐈🐈🐈👍
Lolo look how K Huckfinn him to get her wood stacked lol Just kidding 😉 yep I was raised calling it A B towers . An on the windy side of the porch we did 4 towers for sturdiness an more wind block . Yep heating with wood warms ya 3 times . 1cut 2 haul 3 stack 💜
Yeah, a Huck Finn operation for sure. I was teasing Kaye after 20 minutes or so ... "You're obviously a wood stacker from way back. You are catching on too quickly. Just got me over here to get things done faster".
Wow ! What a big endeavour .... That was Amazing , Great Job ! I'm so happy to learn things like this . I wonder if it's the same when you build a rock wall ?
Well the part where he said trying to find the right piece of wood for the right spot is definitely true of how he builds his rock walls. He takes his time and he finds the right piece
@@Latebloomershow Yeah dry wall building in fields will stay sturdy whether wood or stone Ed
Yeah,kaye good job 👏 👍, great darling too and his mum.yeah,3 musketeers. He he.looks super duper.that was fun kaye.well done.see you soon ,and the kittens too.xxxxlots love,God bless 🙏 ❤
There was some serious over thinking done on that one end 🤣🤣🤣
Haha, well, when I did the tower for the right angle, I didn't do enough and it's shaky. Thx for watching!!
Hi Kate,
I was wondering…what ever happened to Justin? Love watching your vids. Stay safe.
He stopped working here in September
What a pity 🤔
Very helpful. I just bought a Cubic Grizzly Wood Stove for my tiny house and have to think through storing wood. I've been looking at different methods. So, this is timely for me. I have an extra step though . . . I have to chop wood down to 6 1/2" lengths! I haven't installed the stove yet, and may not since I am a renter. I don't have wood yet, either. Short story: I turned an out building 16' x 18' into a tiny home out in the country on the property where my son lives/rents. I have a Mr. Buddy and lots of propane to use in case the electrical grid goes down (plus I have some solar), but I like knowing I have the start of a wood-stove back-up plan, if needed. I am a single, late bloomer like you, Kaye, probably older, and can relate to you on several levels. Love your show. Keep them coming. I'm in awe of all the work you've done to move to Tennessee and start your homestead. You must fall into bed dog-tired most nights! Yet you keep smiling and keep going. You are an encouragement to me!
What an awesome comment! Where are you located? Wish you and son could purchase the land. Who knows, maybe that opportunity will arise! Brava to you for your determination. That’s a lot of wood chopping!
@@Latebloomershow - I'm in Red Bluff, CA in Northern California. Formerly from Ventura, CA where I worked in Christian publishing for 24 years. Is Justin coming back to help you?
Kitties are helping?
Kaye quite a guy is Darrell,,,, real country ways to do things
he knows how the country scene works useful guy to know
we have wood piles for our burners
Kitties,,,,, hey they're new kids on the block
Linden has pride of place she's the queen
15yrs she has had your`attention so how would she react to the kitties ,,,, cats are territory protectors
ok Kaye look after your self be safe and keep safe
Ed & Lucyxxx
She hisses if they try to come in. They just stare at her and she goes and hides
He should have built the ends and had her fill in
Kaye! Why nit use the damaged tarp to cover the wood instead of that sheet metal just fold the cut part underneath then just stack a few pieces of wood onto to hold it down. I just put my wood in my garage there always spaces to stack them. I don’t have to go out in the bad weather.
I did that last winter and got lots of comments not to put it in my garage because of spiders, termites, snakes and mice....? I do have some in my shop.
What about the bugs in the firewood infesting the wooden deck? They also can just tunnel right over it and the foundation and into the house. Pressure treated wood is less likely, but not termite-proof.
Hm. Idk. I believe the deck is pressure treated wood.
The deck is pressure treated wood and the bugs in the firewood are soon to get frozen and then burned. It's not good to keep firewood stacked close to the house year-round, but putting it there just for the heating season will not cause any problems.
Where do you find the tin?
I bought it from a store that sells building materials.
Unfortunately, you should stack your wood at least 30 feet from your house to avoids pests in your house. Carpenter ants and other wood boring insects can be attracted to your firewood. It's a bummer for me because then I have to trudge out through the snow with a sled to retrieve my firewood. It's good exercise and keeps me tough, though. It was -30 F last winter and it was rough but I bundled up. I store a little bit on my covered porch only after it gets really cold. Otherwise I go out to the woodpile to retrieve it.
That's what I had planned to do in '21 when I had a full-time helper that summer, build a nice big firewood shelter over by the shop, but didn't happen, and this deck was just sitting here. I agree with you, though!
@@Latebloomershow I wanted to build a firewood shelter but didn't want to spend the money. Instead I used treated old decent 8' long 2x4s that my son had gotten when he helped remove a deck. I laid them on the ground 12 inches apart after levelling the ground with some elbow grease, a pick axe and a shovel. I cross stacked both ends of my 8 foot long piles and stacked the wood with the bark side up about 5 feet high. By the way, I put it 75 feet from my house. I got scrap roofing metal from our local dump to cover it after it started to snow but left it uncovered until then. I left 3 feet between stacks for air circulation. It was a tremendous amount of work for me but I'm a retired RN so I had the time. The mosquitoes, black flies and no see ums ate me alive practically. It was rough and unglamorous. But it was good for my character- to do something hard. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
I just got a load of firewood a week ago and will start stacking today. The cross stacking on the ends takes the longest because you want a stable pile so your cross stack has to be level so your pile doesn't fall over.
Lesson learned: the best way is to get someone else to do it.
Cats they sure like to be up front!
if change is happening to their environment
they hate change,,,,,, getting quite big now
they will keep rodents in control,,, and possibly any snakes
my old cat Pudwood was a rattlesnake killer,,, never ever got bitten ,,,,, so Kaye keep all 4 (kitties / cats ),,,,,seeya now Ed
Yes they are good company for one another but they just want to be inside with me so bad and I just can’t do it
🐻🌲👌🔥💫🐕
Shes having a rough time getting started
It got done, though, haha, and done again.
