    I live in rural Northern Michigan, off the coast of Lake Huron. I've heated my little cottage with wood for 13 years. I don't think many folks realize how much work goes into the process. I'm 60 years old, and I'm honestly over the romantic notions that others have of my homesteading lifestyle here. It's a whole lot of work! Much respect for you , Annabelle ❣

      @@Angel_HippieCityHealing That's a good plan, because there's nothing worse than scrambling to get wood in November. I also quickly realized that I needed to have my wood stacked as close to my door as possible. It was no fun trudging through a foot or three of snow to get to the woodshed on my property. I go through about eight cords each winter, and try to keep two cord stacked on my deck, next to the back door. Best of luck to you for your first winter with wood heat!

    A tip for piling wood (my least favorite winter chore--we've heated with wood for over 35 years now). Do the ends like this: Layer one: =. Layer two on top of layer one: II. Repeat with alternating the layers like this at the ends, it will help keep the pile from capsizing like it did at 16:50. Stack your wood as normal between the crosshatched ends. Hope this helps in the future!

      I was thinking that too...lol..plus, being someone who only has wood to heat the house, don't stack up against any building; no air circulation and can damage the house (if it's wooden like my house is).

    you shouldn't stack firewood on the ground, put something under like cinder blocks, also you don't have much of a under hang you should put a tarp over the wood. it'll keep the wood longer.

  • @EvergreenMagicAcademy
    @EvergreenMagicAcademy Год назад

    there is an easier way to stack the ends of the pile, so it doesn't fall. I lived on the mountain in Oregon for many years and we had to stack 8 to 10 cords of wood per year. When you get to the end reverse the direction of wood every other time. I have been told its the German way of stacking. This way you keep a rectangle and not end up with a pyramid, or it falling down. hope this helps.

    Ok such a strange thing 🤔 I am very empathetic & I noticed something odd & maybe helpful for you. When you are filming in the cabin & your apartment you look differently. The cabin your aura is so warm & calm. Almost fuzzy I'd say. In your apartment videos you are so full of all the energy of the city & others around you. I don't know if you understand this. But it's very interesting to see the way I do. Most people look at others & see what they are wearing etc. I wish they could see themselves in my eyes. Its distressing at times. But we must nature the gifts we are given & learn to use them for good. Sending you Love and Light from Washington state 💖 🌟 Have a blessed week 🤗

    Anna, this is going to sound totally mental, I know. But please hear me out.
    The moment I saw Grim I suddenly got a horrible feeling, the first thing that crossed my mind was "omg he's going to die so young!" When I see Hazel alone I don't feel anything bad. But every time I see him, it's as if all the sadness in the world has suddenly gathered. And every time that feeling gets stronger. In this video, when I saw it, I felt physical pain.
    I can't explain, I don't even understand what's going on. I tried to convince myself that I was imagining it and that it was just a coincidence, but now I can't fight that feeling anymore.
    I'm a veterinarian and I feel quite well when an animal is suffering. And it was always only live, never via video. But there is something different about him. He looks perfectly healthy to me, but I can't shake this horrible feeling that you're going to be without him.
    I know how expensive vets are, and how long you have to wait for an appointment, but please, if you haven't recently, take him to a check up. Discuss whether it might be useful to do a gastropexy, check the basic blood tests. I don't want to scare you, or send bad vibes, encourage you to spend money or anything like that. And I fought for a long time not to say anything to you. But I would never forgive myself if something happened to him without me saying anything. The last thing I want is for you to find yourself in a storm with him sick, with no help.

    I know that is not your video style, but I would really love to see a bit of your wardrobe. I love your style, and I love those skirts of yours, but they appear mostly the half up part in the camera. I wish I could see all of them, and get inspired to change a little of the way I dress up.
