    Absolutely. Of course it’s connected to a hydraulic splitter. You sure you want to feed the addiction? That could be dangerous for a purist. :)

    Wireless remote. Not reall happy with it but since the case broke it works better than it did new. Go figure.
    But alas I still rely on Mother Nature to provide AC in the field. Don’t start, just don’t start!!
    Generator, check
    Electrical cord, check
    Air Conditioner, check
    Second ATV to move all this stuff, check

    I do have a set of French doors on the house. Would it be terrible if I moved the processing area closer to the couch and tv? I may even learn to split vertical LOL

    Does the ATV have AC or a fan?
    I went back and asked to get the fallen BL on this factories property. Right across the street where i scrounged two Sundays ago. One good tree and another smaller plus some tops. At least a heaping PU full. Another tree leaning against the corner of the building. Borders on train tracks all overgrown with weeds and weed trees. All fell out of there. Utility pole on the property was broken and already was fixed. They are waiting for insurance company to come out.
    Had a nice conversation with the guy there. They have to ask the big bosses/owners to give me the okay. I offered up the FHC waiver form as well even though i didnt have one with me.

    Not quite. Almost all split. I need to stack it to see how much more I need in that one spot. I’m still recuperating from the last chimney I’ll ever build LOL
    Good luck with your factory gig. There’s a little patch of locust near an old factory in my town too. It likes ancient civilizations :)

    I was wondering if you finished that chimney. Looked like a lot of work. PITA going from ground up and all the different ways you have to position yourself to work. Did you take any pics of it?
    I was doing some research on BL and it can grow in poor soil conditions as it has root nodules that allow nitrogen rich bacteria to adhere thus more or less producing its own fertilizer.
    More i get to know BL more i like it!
