My Hubby stacks it by the back porch for me since he's gone out of town for work often. So my problem isn't so much the bringing it in as the mess that the wood, bark, and ashes leave by the back door where the wood stove is. I currently have the wood sitting on an old throw rug by wow do I hate that mess!
A Bend in the road, is not the end of the road, unless you fail to make the turn.
Hubby built a big wood box and set it on a pallet under the window near the woodstove. Now I just open the window and he tosses it through right into the box! No bark/dirt mess and no tracking snowy shoes over the floor! Saves me sweeping and mopping! :)
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? A: To prove to the opossum that it could be done!
I love the Paper bag idea. . .it will be a good use of the paper bags you get from the store, work as kindling and as mentioned, even the littlest member of the house can help!
We are blessed to have a tractor, so filling up the bucket and driving it to the basement door is such a big help. We do it twice a month and it saves the countless trips back and forth from the woodpile that we use to do with a little metal garden cart. Now, bringing in 2 weeks of wood takes no more than an hour and I am all for that!
I also loved the idea of the woodbox underneath the window. . . now that is clever and I have to admit, something I would not have thought of!
