Wood Cutting:

This first wood cutting opportunity will be this Saturday, May 2nd. We plan on starting around 3 pm after the Steam School instructors meeting. If you want to show up earlier that would be fine, there are a bunch of rounds near the log deck that need to be moved and split so the log deck can be tidied up.

The wood cutting for the following dates will start at 8:00 am. These will be all day events with lunch provided. We have received a bunch of new totes that will need to have the bladders removed and an opening cut into one side that can be worked on while other people are cutting and splitting wood.
