Meanwhile grandma: cooks meal for family of 10 just for you.
Your grandma is awesome if she’s still lumberjacking around
She lives in a rowhouse with a tiny yard without a single tree on it. Maybe she need it for something else - or someone.
The plot thickens, do keep us apprised of developments. The polished surface should make it easier to remove contaminants.

Grandmom?
Not as uncommon a phrase as you might think.
No, it’s definitely as uncommon as I think. Been on this planet 40 years and this is the firs time I’m hearing it. I’ve heard people way “pollywag” more often than this word.
It’s okay not to know. English is spoken in a lot of different places in different ways. I doubt that in your 40 years you’ve explored this.
Google Trends shows that it’s most popular in Malaysia and the Philippines, relative to its use in other countries.
That explains it. Nobody in America says that and we outnumber the next three native English speaking countries combined.
I did. And my family is from maryland.
India uses English as a lingua franca, they have their own phrases, dialect and everything, and they outnumber the American continent combined.
You should polish the entire head, it’d look sweet.
My grandma got mighty upset when I tried to polish her whole head.
There’s a dirty joke there somewhere…
Just the tip
Do you live in the American Frontier of 1840? Gonna need to build that cabin fast if you plan on making it through winter.
If all you have is a hatchet, I’d imagine a more waddle-and-daub situation rather than a cabin. For a proper cabin, you really need an axe with weight behind it, a hammer, wedges, and hopefully a tree saw (and then adz, draw knife (or similar) and so on for finish work). An ax, depending upon the type and health of a tree, is kinda a terrible way to take it down on its own.
And if for some reason, in your frontier scenario, you have plywood and bracing material, you could go with a rammed earth structure!
I just learned about rammed earth and got a few books about it, it’s so fucking cool. I want to build a house with it now, so my great great great great great grandkids can inherit it
