My wife doesn't help with firewood mostly because we are'nt fireplace owners, I just have lots of camp/bonfires down at Rancho Varano. She does snag brush and tops and burns them off.
On the other hand she does help with the big jobs.
We spent nine months last year putting a new tile roof on our beach house- Playa Varano.
Demoed a flat roof off the Florida room down to four bare walls, hand framed the vaulted ceiling back onto the existing, ripped the first run of plywood off to put hurricane straps and bolt down rafter plates, all new soffits and fascia, entire new tile roof.
She was there on the roof every day, and when we took breaks, she'd run in the house and prepare lunch or refreshment- (simultaneously doing four loads of laundry every day of the weekend)
We saved 20k on the re-model and roof, and have a great feeling knowing the roof tiles are installed properly. It will be there 75 years or more, the old was 60 years old.
We're in the middle of douche-ing the attic of all old insulation, and complete new duct work and air handler. Estimating to save about 4k doing the insualtion and AC ourselves. Next will be windows and doors all the way around, and then paint exterior.
No doubt, if we lived in the snow belt, she'd be doing something wood related.
Did I mention she has been a Dental Hygienist for 28 years and still works 40+ a week?
She's a keeper.
