Merry Christmas

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Matthew 1:23

Merry Christmas!

God with You

How Does Your Woodstove Glow?

Lever action commanding 22 tons of strengthWedge-shaped battering ram dominates some of the stubbornest of knotsOur locally, annually rented Log Splitter :D It runs on gas and is easily transported behind a vehicle on a trailer hitch. It's one of our best friends of the season. We're a four-person team; Dad, Jenn and I take turns lifting the original log into place, operating the lever, and putting the split logs into the lean-to, while Mom operates the beverage dispenser and drive-through. A little helper for especially shy logs.Jenn taking a break.Renewed strengthA pin releases this model so it can operate vertically for those REALLY heavy logs.About those heavy logs...It takes a lot to stand up to 22 tons.'Extra help for the operator' lol!Transferring the split logs into our convenient lean-to.Approximately half-full. We need over and beyond 15 cords of wood to last us through an average Canadian winter. Actually, we fire up the stove about mid-September for those chilly mornings and finish off around the middle of May, while our winter goes from November to April. A linear cord corresponds to 4ft x 4ft x 8ft of carefully stacked logs.
