Ow. But Fire accomplished.

aldersprigThe house came with, among a lot of other stuff, some corrugated cement board and a chair with no bottom. It also came with a lot of mess in the hedgerow that needed to be pulled out and dealt with.
The last bit led to a pile of brush larger than a truck.
Cutting it to pieces was only so effective.
Running it through a woodchipper (Small, electric), did some good, but it was slow and loud.
So we bought a firepit.
Enter the corrugated cement board - safe place to put it - and the chair - place to sit and tend it. Add the seat from an otherwise trashed office chair, one concrete block, also from the house, and a laptop.
My butt has one long scrap-bruise, but the laptop is safe.
In other news, sitting outside writing/reading whilst watching the fire burn is lovely.
