We enjoy using our fireplace. It is a big one and eats wood like a shark gulps Tuna. Maybe that isn't such a good thing especially when the chainsaw stubbornly refuses to start. So today after yanking on the chainsaw starter rope to the point of cardiac failure and a few choice words about Japanese vs. Ameriican products, my wife and I grabbed a wheelbarrow and an ax and headed for the woods. When we got there we realized that the ax really wasn't needed that much since there are always oak trees and others shedding dead branches. It is a little frustrating though not to be able to fire up the chainsaw ...you know it is kinda of a "Tool Time" man thing...Big boys and their toys. I don't know how long one wheel barrow of hand gathered and axe chopped sticks will last in the fireplace compared to a stack of 6 inch thick solid logs....guess it'll have to do in a pinch.
