Oh wow Vincent, you seem to be busy with a lot of practical things (I also read your previous post). But I'm glad to hear that you seem to be enjoying this somehow π It's not a setup I would like as I like to feel comfortable, haha (I have a deep desire for luxury). And I really dislike feeling cold so your strategy to save money and not heat up the house is not something I could stand. But we are all different π
The process of gathering and drying firewood is an art that I'm quite familiar with. It can be a very deep process. The word for firewood in Swedish is 'ved' and I can really feel it in my soul. Many people (more so older people) in the Nordic countries have a strong connection to firewood as it's part of our survival (not so much nowadays). But in earlier times you had to have enough firewood throughout the Winter, otherwise you would literally die. I'm not sure your firewood will dry indoors, especially if the house is cold. It needs sunshine and wind to dry. The best is to have some kind of shelter outdoors that you can open up when the sun shines and close when it rains. But storing it under the roof of the veranda might do the trick π Anyway, good luck π€
I seem to have missed some comments here, due to excitement and distraction.
I remember you talking about enjoying heat ( inside a house/ apartment ), in that case it's better not to visit me ;<)
Yes, we are all different.
Nice to hear you talk about the art of gathering and drying firewood. It is important out here too. Honestly, many people struggle to find enough dry wood, out here, or forget about it, until it is too late ( already cold and humid ). We don't die from that though. It doesn't get that cold and we help each other out, if necessary.
I have plenty of dry firewood, since Wednesday. Drying it in my house ( before) worked a bit, if I put it around - or even on - the wood burner while the fire was on. ;<)
Sending a 'warm' hug from a room that is warm enough for me ( not for you haha)!
No worries, I just thought to mention it, in case you had missed it.
Yes, I like it warm inside, 23 degrees Celsius, minimum, 25 is ideal for me π
We would help each other out in Sweden too, if necessary π
Great that you have plenty of dry firewood now. I guess I was thinking on a larger scale, then it would have been rather cumbersome to dry the wood in the way you described it...
