How we're getting rid of the wood

I doubt the people who designed the patio chimenea ever imagined one would ever take on just this much wood. But those people never met my FIL, R.Those of you who do know R will immediately recognize this as a classic display of his pyromania God-given fire-building talent.(Hey guys -- I'm not sure the flames are actually supposed to shoot out the top.)

In any case, in order to speed up progress on cleaning up our yard next weekend we're going to haul the giant heap of un-salvageable barn lumber and leftover trunk and tree bits to Homer G. and light up a proper bonfire in the woods.

My FIL is pledging it will be the biggest of the season. Which means the fine citizens of the HG (and its fire department) should consider themselves warned.

Ok someone bring the beer, another one the steaks or burgers, and I'll bring the marshmellows. Then we'll have ourselves a party. Who's with me?

Not to worry. The fire department knows where we live. And to anonymous-there will be no cooking over this fire unless you're interested in "burning your face off."
