New Firewood Shed Erected!

Spring has been a busy time at the sawmill, not only with felling trees for milling, gathering up and processing next winter's firewood and fulfilling plenty of the usual Spring orders for fencing, panels and sheds BUT has also seen the erection of a brand new firewood shed. 

The shed will enable us to store the filled crates of firewood under a canopy to prevent the Wigtownshire summer rain, (always more frequent than we would like!), from soaking the drying logs on a regular basis.  We have deliberately left wide gaps between the Yorkshire Boards so that the wind, (another regular feature of the Wigtownshire climate!), can get through to enable the logs to season well.  The open front enables plenty of sun to get in and help with the drying process too.

Charlie and the gang have been busy processing firewood too, so all of the crates are currently full and drying nicely in their new home!
