Four tonnes of firewood arrived on Friday afternoon. It took my family of four a little over five hours to carry it to the storage shed. I had a reference because my autism demanded stimulation.

Firewood is stacked neatly in a shed, framed by metal supports and a corrugated roof, surrounded by various stumps, buckets, and barrels.

The shed has about 3.5 x 6 x 1.5 metres of usable volume. That amount of firewood lasts us the entire heating season with a bit left over.

    I have no idea what the proper English terminology is. It’s a natural draft furnace that is plumbed into the heating system. It’s a purely utilitarian gray box that is twice as tall as it is wide. Ashpan and air inlet at the bottom, solid fuel goes in the middle on a grate, heat exchanger pipes and chimney connector at the top. It’s probably been here since before the fall of the Soviet Union.
