Funny, I saw this the other day, guessing it wasn't the same van though...

I told myself I was done for the season.,. Two big oaks came down in a storm a couple weeks ago.. right down the road,, One of them shouldve gone to the mill or veneer,, then myself said " farwood". Scrounge on !

Morning Scroungers,

........ It takes me about 2 1/2 hours to cut and hand split a load like this........ After I bent the axle on my good road trailer last year, I am no longer piling on all I can. I am not taking my new road trailer into the timber.
..... Cutting and splitting firewood is good exercise, and I still like to do it when other things are not pressing.

Bent your axle? I bent my frame by overloading with logs. I've got some angle iron I'm going to weld to the cross members after I straighten them.

A lot of people here will agree with you about hand splitting for the exercise. Just remember, some day you'll be old and you'll feel the toll hand splitting has taken on your body over the years.

That is the truth. Be smart and buy a splitter. Your body will greatly approve of that purchase.

Why the Wyoming plates?

Why the Wyoming plates?

Cause I like the horse and cowboy on it. I put it on with rare earth magnets at shows .

That's Steamboat. The horse, not the rider.

I primarily ride around with my trailer and scrounge roadsides on Sundays after everyone has done their yardwork, usually after a storm the picking is good. I get a modpodge of stuff. There is a tree service in my route that yields some really good wood as well.
This past weekend I scored a bunch of Locust and White oak, and a smidge of birch.( pictures attached)

Welcome!

Morning everybody

Question for you guys. Earlier this summer, my office building flooded. Everything is dried out and we’re in the process of redoing the basement. Going to paint the walls with concrete paint. Wanted to do something on “ceiling” which is basically the bottom of the main level wood floor/joists that would contrast the white walls of the concrete. Was thinking maybe just some sort of dark stain? I know if we went with a light color of paint it would take a lot of coats to get things uniform and I don’t want to spend that much time or money.

Nice freakin windmills...

They are all around. The only positive to them is that I always know which way the wind is blowing and how fast it is moving.
