... so here ...Of course, somewhere in the garage you can chop wood - after all, they are brought to this place ... And in the village yard they are unloaded where the truck stopped. And then they are sawed with a chainsaw right on the heap. And then it’s easier to pull the block (or choose from fresh ones) and beat them right there, taking the ready ones with a wheelbarrow than to drag them to the wood splitter, and then take them back ...
... Once in one book it was described how, after an uprising in a colony, everything cutting and stabbing was banned in the villages, leaving one ax chained in the center of the village. It is necessary to chop, chop, - bring firewood to him .... Here, somehow ...
