wood done for 08-09

[jrclen]

I would make a smart remark about you guys having to much time on your hands, but it would just be jealousy, so I won't.

Nice wood piles.

In my case, you would be correct. Retired, 72 and that is my recreation (mostly), my physical fitness program and I just generally like to be out there. If it weren't for that I would probably be 350 lbs with a big right thumb from channel surfing or more likely already dead.

Harry, is that a farm field to the right of your truck there?


Oh, and nice "stockpile" you have there!

It is good exercise, and I enjoy being out in the woods too. I've been cutting and splitting all this week for next winter and filling the new wood shed. I'm glad to hear you're out there at 72. Gives me hope I will be too.

Yes it is. I am in the middle of the rolling hills of the Palouse (E WA). That is my neighbor who farms over a section, not sure how much as he doesn't own any, just rents. That one field alone stretches for around a mile and is at least 1/2 mile deep. My little patch is only a couple acres.

I do the same, around 5 or 6 years ahead now. You have to manage the stockpile so that the 'first in, first out' rule is observed. That way you are always burning the oldest wood first.

My stockpile has those 3 bins and I should open up a 4th. Next season will empty the one on the left (under the maple) and I'll start filling it again. This year I am adding to the one on the right - it has about 10 cord of Locust behind the fresh rick.

Wow , I wish I had that much in. I'm only at this. see pics.
This is my first real year on the OWB so I want to make sure I have enough. I just moved into my house 12/23/06 so I only used it part of the year and all I had was split wood for an indoor wood stove. These larger chucks of maple, ash and cherry ought to last a little longer than the split ones.
I also installed a homemade draft inducer on the front of my Central boiler using a squirrel cage fan from Graingers and I fabricated a stainless steel housing. Now everytime the auto damper opens the fan kicks on too.

Yep, you can never really have too much wood stock piled.I usually start cutting for the foloowing year around the 1st. of Oct. ( no snakes around then) My wife always asked me why I needed 2 years worth of wood.
Well, last year the last week in sept. I cut my right thumb off with a cirular saw and obviously was unable to cut any wood for the following year.
We were sure glad we had the extra wood already cut. Just goes to show You never know what could happen and it is always nice to be prepared.

BTW, they stuck my thumb back on with no problems

How cool is that !! I lost part of my right index last year.... unfortunately, it could not be reattached. Amazing what they can do today, huh?

 

[ktm rider]

Yep, But it wasn't cool at the time. I had 3 pins 80+ stitches and a bunch of wires holding it on for 2 months. All together I had 3 surgeries on it. I can move it almost as well as my other thumb now but I can't fell anything at all with it.

The wife took all my circular saws away from me after that. She recently bought me a new one when she seen me cutting a 2x4 with my chainsaw !!:chainsawguy: LOL !!!

 

[Ductape]

HAHAHA....... i guess she figured it would be the lesser of two evils.

I certainly didn't mean it was cool to go through all that...... just cool that today they can re-attach some of them.

I understood what you were saying, To be honest it wasn't all that bad. It didn't hurt at all until about 20 minutes later..

KTM,
Take your new circular saw & combine it with the EZ SMART products. Here is the link to site map.

nice lookin wood pile, even better lookin truck.

 

[Ductape]

Thanks, Dutch. I wish i could take all the credit, but the original owner only put on 63,000 miles in ten years. I try to do it justice by keeping it up.

Yep, nice looking truck. Smart man you are.
