Squirrel the last of the dry stuff away in boxes, bins etc round the house. If you need it, you burn it. If you don’t, it’s a bonus start to next season. And you can get the last bay filled with fresh.  

Same.

Mrs is still burning though. So, Yes Fire still going.

We don't really need it lit any more, but I've got about a month of wood left to burn, and I'd rather have the bucket of ash for the chickens' dust bath than the hassle of taking the wood with us when we move this summer.

 

I've for some time now liked to think that a property should transfer with the various trappings of permanence: accounts, staff, harvests and fuels on hand etc.

My wife's went out years ago. 😟

You are welcome to think whatever you like, but in this economic climate, I'll be bringing all of my staff, harvests, and fuel with me, thanks. I'll be back in the late autumn to dig up the blackcurrant bushes and bring them home as well.

Barbarism.

I was always told it was bad luck to take the coal when you moved house.

You'll probably take issue with me bringing the four sheets of OSB and a dozen 2x6 from the floor I put down in the shed, too.

 

They have a new use in a new home.

If it isn't nailed down.... leave a single (working) light bulb in the hall I think.

 

 

Mind 10 years later we are still using the fridge, freezer, wheel barrow (new bucket though), desk chair, curtains, and a couple of light bulbs that were left for us. Ditched the cooker cause it was proper minging.

Yes, C/H off. But just love the flickering and crackling so it's on low.

Had the boiler stove running up to the end of March and then only morning and evening in April.  Been so long since I used the solar heating that I forgot about it until today!  So heading for my first solar bath of the year, the two dozen tubes on the roof have heated the tank to 60 degrees C today
