Moving wood to house

[deerlakejens]

My neighbor has a slick desgn in his 70 year old farmhouse that was originally heated by a large brick fireplace. On either side of the fieplace are what look like two 2 ft. wide cabinet doors. When you open them, they expose a 5 ft. wide by 6ft. tall bumpout shed that has one large door. Each shed holds about 3/4 cord. It eliminates the mess of hauling wood through the house. My house lay out doesn't allow for a pass through but if I ever built a new home, I would certainly incorporate one.

Well, I'm a bit late, and the pics were taken in the dark, but here goes. The tractor is a '73 Massey 180, Dad bought it new, and me and it have spent a lot of time together over the years. It's got a 7' snow bucket that holds 2 rows of 16" wood, between 1/4 1/3 cord. Snow's knee deep in most spots, I had trouble getting up the hill back to the house with a load on the front, I'll be smarter and plow next time I go out there...

Wood chute into the basement, 10" PVC with a couple of scrap 4x4s bolted on for legs.

Pile in the basement, note the indoor wood hauler, aka wheelbarrow, for moving the wood back to the wood room.

It's about as easy as I can make it without going to an OWB. In better conditions, I'll often use the truck, just one row along the tailgate where it's easy to reach.

Hell of a great idea!

There's some fine redneckery going on here. The tractor pulling the wheelbarrow is great!

My wood piles are close enough to the house to carry by hand, and having 8 kids to carry it in is the best part!!

And this is how I get it in the basement.

I have a trailer made from an old Toyota truck and an inverted full size truck bed liner for a rain cap. We park it at the back door. The wood shed is about 600ft. away.

usually just toss a week or two across the tailgate and back it up to the house.

?? the oak tree that I hooked disappeared somewhere?? maybe it moved to your place hey! lol im not really worried either as the other side is looking lonely ... so it should not be too long before it gets visited by another tree....

I mostly use a tractor to pull loads of firewood or logs to the house,

and if it's very far away, i pull doubles or even tripples,

It just alows me to get a bunch of wood moved with less trips,
