Putting the New Yard Light to Work
These shots were taken at about a quarter to nine this morning. I had been up for an hour or two and Doug went to bed shortly after he finished splitting firewood.
Here, he is up in the woodpile pulling rounds from under the tarp, and has just heaved a big one out behind him.
Here, he is splitting that big round. It was knotty and didn’t go down easy. It split into some interesting shapes that could be challenging to burn.
We are both very happy with the new floodlight, made possible by the new wiring Roger did for us last month. It makes splitting firewood much easier and safer than it had been by flashlight.

Wow, I couldn’t imagine doing it by flashlight. Good thinking on the flood!
I was thinking the same thing! I can’t imagine trying to split wood by flashlight! Yikes!
I am so accident prone that you can imagine what I would do by flashlight. Thank you for hearing my sorrow. Nancy
@nevragn - @warweasel - @Nanny - It always made me uneasy when Doug was out there splitting wood in the dark. That was my main reason for persuading him to help me put up a light. He claims there was plenty of light, with the flashlight bouncing off the snow.
Nice.
I’ve split a few logs in my time but only in the daylight, i think that with flashlight or by floodlight the man is a hero!
glad you found the light.
