Hauling, carrying, stacking

What’s the most fun way to exercise?

The homesteading workout! Processing firewood. And SAFELY cutting down damaged trees that were shattered by our 2025 ice storms. There’s many tree crowns hanging by some strands >20 feet above my head. This weekend, we’re buying NEW hardhats, with chainsaw face-guards. And dragging logs through the bush. TS and I are seriously considering an electric-powered log splitter. 120VAC I hope.

The recumbent bike we purchased allows us to exercise inside, looking at the back yard. Very civilized.

An excellent investment. A used, refurbished unit from a fitness club.

Surprisingly, PN enjoys using rubber bands for physiotherapeutic arm sweeps.

Now, imagine an oversized rubber band leading from the floor to his right hand.

We’ll have to modify the internal temperature. Too hot!?

At 16:30, it’s +18.5C inside the greenhouse.

Evolve Builders will repair those holes.
