Stack a winter's firewood for an isolated neighbour

Conas a théann sé

Rural and semi-rural Ireland still heats partly with wood and turf. For someone who can't lift a basket of logs, the wood pile from the supplier sits where it was dumped, unstacked, slowly soaking up rain. Four people, two wheelbarrows, an hour or two, and the winter is secured. While you're at it, check the chimney sweep is booked.
