It is now winter.\u00a0 An unusually dry, exceptionally warm, almost a third over kind of winter. But still, winter. We heat the house with wood – as we only actually heat the house about three months out of the year the wood stove is really quite efficient. Heating with wood means chopping wood.\u00a0 Jon has had to do all the log splitting. Last\u00a0year we purchased cut and\u00a0dried eucalyptus, acacia, and a few other types of wood.\u00a0It comes cut to size – but not\u00a0split.\u00a0Being smart, we’ve used all the wood that fit in the stove first –\u00a0it’s just the\u00a0last of the wood pile which needs to be spit as the logs are too big to fit the stove. \u00a0Megan and I are not very good at\u00a0splitting logs \u00a0and Jon worries we will loose a limb. Not an irrational fear, sadly.\u00a0 So one day he came home with a new toy for us!\u00a0 It is an electric log splitter.\u00a0 He even remembered to purchase the generator to go along with it.\u00a0 He chose the style carefully, we do not have to use gas to operate it, not is it so powerful that we might hurt ourselves.<\/p>\n

The splitter doesn’t quite finish the job.\u00a0 It is difficult to pull the log apart the last little bit, so Jon takes the hatchet to it.\u00a0 Well, it will work for the women in a pinch, otherwise it will remain Jon’s job. Or Alejandro and Oscar’s. As they were both quite insulted that we thought a mechanical tool could do a better job than they could. Please note that they weren’t interested in splitting wood before we bought the log splitter. Now that we have it they’ll split the logs before they let Megan or I use the log splitter.<\/p>\n
