Morning Kenneth John and fellow midlanders.

Another cup of Java and see what Blondie has on the program for today. Maybe 'geezer day care'.

Still waiting on the SL-5 crankcase cover to be delivered. Then complete tear down and new seals and unstick the rings.

Good morning everybody. Talked to a friend of mine Sunday. He asked me if I wanted some trees to cut. He and partners bought some land they are going to clear and build storage building/office buildings. There is a house with trees they are going to bulldoze. He said he didn't care if the trees hit the house. I cut Sunday afternoon and yesterday after work; am going back today after work. Got a nice oak and some silver maple so far. Dropped the oak between the house and other trees as planned. Was proud of myself; but, then I got my bar pinched on an 8" maple limb that sat back on my bar; had to remove the power head and grab another saw,,,,reality check. I need more time; they are bulldozing Thursday. There is a very large cottonwood tree (60 ft'ish, approx 24" DBH maybe more). I would love to drop it on the house just to see what it would do Am going to start packing tonight. Have a great day.

Pics of tree on house!!!

While it might be satisfying to smash the house, it would make it a pain to process the tree.

Cotton wood, race cants vs so-so fire wood - What to do???

Then again, yard tree, imbedded metal, maybe NOT a good idea for race cants.

Afternoon everybody.

 

[67L36Driver]

Almost got to 60 in the garage so I cleaned up a Remy 24" roller nose bar off the GL-7.
I hate winter.

Here is a small timber framed playhouse we did last year that was built with green pine timbers and green cedar siding and live edge trim.

I wanna playhouse.

 

[cobey]

I wanna playhouse.

I bet Andy has the skills to make one, or he could make a huge stoool out of a redwood stump, and put windows in it

 

[lumberjackchef]

I wanna playhouse.

We could just cut a hole in the floor and make it double as a ice fishing shack!

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

good evening all.

Evening Kenneth & the rest.

Spent all afternoon cutting, splitting, & stacking the splits in totes. Only 3 cords for all the effort. Does this make me an official old putterer?

Learned real fast that my arms were not long enough to set the splits in the bottom of the totes neatly. Found if the tote was tipped towards the splitter at a bout a 45° angle it made it a whole lot easier to stack.

Was looking at the 250 gallon plastic/nylon/? tanks which came out of the totes & was wondering what to do with them. Then it dawned on me:
- Cut the bottoms out leaving a 4" boarder to use to fasten it to a pallet.
- Cut the top off leaving the curves on the top short sides to keep the ends .stiff
- Remove the upper foot of the long sides to make it easy to reach the bottom
- Screw it to a pallet using fender washers & 1" screws
Worked real well, holds about 1/3 of a cord. The metal cages/totes hold around 1/2 of a cord.

Will try to post pictures in a day or 2
