Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Before I bought my first house, I had half a duplex

Seeing what the section 8 family did on the other side, I knew I would never own a rental

When the landlord finally got them out. They plugged all the sink drains and turned the water on

I had to break into that side for the landlord and stop the flooding

Always felt bad for the kids and wife, that guy was a real POS!!

We’d have family parties for my daughter (summer birthday) and the kids would come over and eat like it was their only meal that month….

Do I seem to be on the right track?

I already lowered it a lot too.

Start with getting the track all straight and square, then level the head to the track.

Take your time, you will get there and have a GREAT cutting mill when you are done!

Still you want nothing to do with section 8 . We had a commercial building with a storefront and two apartments. Rented one to a section 8 started ok but the tenant who was responsible for 20% of the rent stopped paying then the electric was cut off by the utility company . They proceeded to steal electricity from the outside plugs via extension cords we killed the power to them . The tenant broke the lock off the door to the basement and ran extension cords to the apartment. Then they took on several roommates against the lease rules . Took 5 months to get them out

That really sucks. This is where the BS laws are against the owners and protect the scum renters.

The bunks aren’t all in line either, so I’m gonna look at them as I do the track.

That man has way too much time on his hands.

Wish I could find a way to actually share this video to the non-facebook crowd

I am not on Facebook but could watch the video… I closed the pop up that asks if you want to log-in or create an account and the video was accessible.

I have a traumatic brain injury from Iraq, I have to repeat a lot of things a few times because of it. More than that if I have help.

At least you have a reason, I feel like that most the time.
Thanks for your service.

Not sure, but his chains are on backwards lol . Maybe ot helps keep them cooler lol.

Got the panels cut, that 70 tooth Diablo blade worked great .

I've watched sawmills like that run here in Mass.

What a weird thing to have in church...

I took the carriage off so I can true up the whole thing. I set it on some fresh 6x6s.



Our little dog just ran into the house with my spool of yellow string dragging behind him in a balled up tangled mess. Doh! I need that to true up the tracks. That's the middle size dog in the first picture.

And you were lucky, I have heard of much worse when an individual house is rented to them. They made holes in the walls, destroyed the appliances and it took years to get them out as they had kids. By the time they were evicted the owner threw in the towel on the house. (It had been his house but when he got married, he moved in with his wife). He was heartbroken, it was a shame.

Mods…we need a pissed off emogi!
