| Jim and our "free" firewood |
My brother Perry cleared the woods along Beaver Dam Creek where he has property near the by-pass in Elba. He cut the limbs of the hardwood trees for us to use as firewood in our fireplace. Jim and I loaded this trailer and brought it home and unloaded it, to use this winter. We love our warm and cozy fireplace when it's cold outside.
You can see the by-pass bridge behind the trailer. A new bridge has been built for the extra 2 lanes that will be built later.
This is the cabin Perry is working on. He added the deck first. This is the back side, facing the creek and woods. He recently added the windows and the view is beautiful from inside the cabin.
The next photo is a view of the creek which borders his property. He cleared all the underbrush in order to see the creek. This creek flooded the town of Elba in 1998 when it broke the levee. There's about 5' of water in the creek when there's a heavy rain.
