Got wood

December 21st, 2008 at 03:25 am

Its cold, real cold, real real cold and it is windy. We had very little firewood ready to go, (like less than a 6 hour burn). So, I hunted on craigslist and found some very close by for less than 1/2 of what some others wanted. Their price included it being split, unloaded and stacked.
Normally we can cut our own wood, but DH has been working overtime, has to work his own vacation and is finishing up taking night classes. In addition he is also studying for a national board test he has to take in January, so, I felt it was worth it to buy the wood. Not to mention that Murphy likes to hang around here, and if I didn't, he would show up and the power would go out, hence no heat...
Got a possible lead on a job today. It is part time working in a home where there is 2 infants. Nice part is, on days my husband works I could take my 3 with me.
My blog on blogspot now has over 300 hits, and some more ads have appeared on it. So, hopefully it will generate some income also. DD#4 put some earrings she made on it to sell. She took a jewerly class last semester at homeschool coop.

    We lucked out this year and the man across the street was selling wood from his parents ranch, we bought to huge loads for $150.00 a piece. We have enough wood for 2 years (but we don't burn it all the time).

    Good luck on the part time job!

    It sounds like you made a smart decision in purchasing the cut wood.
