:surprised3::eek: Ok I like snow! I don’t mind snow, I like where I live, did I mention I like it here? I would much rather deal with bears and wolves, oh and snow than giant spiders and snakes! Think I’ll go to the wood pile forum for a bit, maybe even the chainsaw forum...
 
This is a pic of a Red Bellied Black Snake a mate and I were standing 2m or so from (We were checking out a target we'd been shooting at to check the rifles for function etc) anyway my mate looked down and spotted this 3m RBBS reared up in the strick mode and looking straight at us.

We gently backed away from it slowly and it moved on :happybanana:

All I've done is blow and plow snow. Think I need a 3pt blower. Always thought it would be silly without a cabbed tractor. But am reconsidering.
Trust me you need cabbed tractor. Especially as cold and as much snow you get up norf. Was considering putting my blower on for tomorrow's storm. Just gonna use the bucket.
 
Had decent weather today and no commitments so I got to scrounge. Mostly ash and a bit of maple that came down in a guys yard have to go back and finish 1 tree. There’s 3 trees cut in the woods you really can’t see, cut 8 total today, biggest one was only 12” at base but I’ll take ash anytime. Have to wait for the ground to firm up before I can get in there to get the wood.

What I get from these posts is that there must be a bunch of very pretty women in Australia, and you guys make up all this **** about drop bears and snakes to try and keep the competition away.

Got some more splitting done today, black locust, maple, cotton wood, cherry and oak.

Finished off my 3rd holz hausen. Did some noodling of the logs I couldn’t split. Then decide to noodle some cotton wood. I absolutely hate splitting Cottonwood. The wood is so soft my fiskars just sinks right in but no splity splity.

I’ll never take another cotton wood for free..... well unless of already split...than I will[emoji23][emoji23]. It helps tame the black locust when you burn it together.

Each wood house is a little over 2 cord estimated. So I just pretend it’s two cords only and I know I burn six a year. So I have more than a need for this coming winter ....now to start on wood for winter of 2020.

Finally got the woodheater in the new extension! boy does it punch out some serious heat, 3m away I can feel the heat coming directly off the thing!:happybanana:

Looking good. I bet that was some very satisfying heat and eat too. Who knows when the weather will turn and winter will be upon us. Hopefully not soon as there's too much summer work to get through first but when it does over there you'll be prepared and earning serious brownie points.
