So we bought our first cord of wood for the cabin and had it delivered last night. We spent the entire day stacking and sorting it. The entire day, one cord. We did have to run into Kingston to buy a wheel barrow to move much of it and, of course, to buy the requisite tarp to cover and protect the stack.
Why does the ubiquitous utility tarp have to be bright royal blue? Is it so Billy Bob can look out the window of his double wide and see exactly where the '73 Camaro is parked on blocks, in the middle of a white out snow storm? "Now where is that old fridge I chucked out into the yard last year? Oh, there it is, I can see it from here. Thank goodness I protected it in this blizzard. You never know when I might need the compressor from it."
Are we not at all interested in blending in with our environment? Well, I am more than happy to report that some genius at the polypropylene plant has realized that we can protect our assets without the visual assault. Tarps are
now available in brown. So unless you are covering your roof after a hurricane, and you need the rescue helicopter to see your house, buy a brown tarp, it's what Martha Stewart would do. Your neighbors will be glad you did.
