What does this mean?

What is left of the tree once ”good for firewood parts” have been taken. Scraps.

Maybe I won't get the roof done when I thought.
DH has been having more and more crying episodes wanting to see me and today was being combative. He's convinced that some of the people that are at the house are mean to him. He is getting horribly frustrated at not being able to tell me exactly what's wrong.
The day aide told me that the house manager thinks he should see his doctor because of his level of being emotional. My gut is telling me it's the house manager. Who lives there in the lower level apartment.
Today when I returned a call the first thing out of his mouth after "hi" was, "I hate them!" I went down and got him and now we're talking about going for a visit to the alternate, more expensive place we looked at that's further away.
I really don't know what else to do.

This was the progression of one of my BIL. The once gentle, sensitive, peaceful man became aggressive and combative. The other remained calm/peaceful. You may really want to consult with his doctor as well as determine if the facility is the problem.

Sorry, DL. I am sure his frustration at not being able to communicate easily is a factor. I wonder if just having a sit-down with the house manager and you and DH might help, if you are there to interpret. Can he point to pictures that represent feelings or actions?
Hugs to you both!
My friend and I managed to bring in a half cord+ in 4 hrs of work. I do not like dragging wood off a hill but it is what it is. Tomorrow we will go again!

Oh dear, I am sorry you two are going through this.
FIL lived with us and as his dementia was progressing, he experienced lots of anxiety with sudden outbursts of aggression and phobias, even paranoia.
