Fire Safe

We're heading right into the heart and heat of fire season in California, and that means making sure our cabin is fully complian with the local regulations. It's been quite a chore.

First of all, PG&E came by this winter and tool down a bunch of our trees. They were worried about their power lines, and left quite a mess behind. We had to hire someone to haul out most of the logs, and then I cleaned up the rest into huge piles, which we also had hauled away.

The smaller logs I cut into firewood, so that was a cord of wood that I had to cut and split by hand, and still cost a few thousand dollars!

The good news? Today we got our report card from Cal Fire---and apparently they were happy with the work we had done. No issues, and a clean bill of fire health!
