What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Looking great ironpony....especially the clock and cover plates!

 

You always do great renovation jobs.

 

I think we're just lucky to have good weather teams here, at pretty much all of our local stations. Even up in the Northwoods of Wisconsin those local channels get the final storm details down pretty well.

 

I saw those pics pics and thought....Holy crap! That's one low ceiling!

Then I read where it is a basement. Well, no lifting weights in that basement, for sure.

Good idea on saving the accessibility for above the ceiling, though.

 

This one's better!

 

Another day on the road. Hopefully I'll be able to do something at home next weekend.

 

Looks like paradise.

 

These wind mills are huge.

 

Where are those ones?

 

Everything here is on private land. We don’t have any BLM land.

 

Only lottery we have is moose and we have so much forest company land it’s not any issues. All together different here than there. We don’t hunt the public lands because too many idiots already are. Wood’s companies have their lands open for he most part with the understanding that if they are working and area you stay out. Lots of large farms that allow hunting with a knock on the door.

 

Yes wildwest we ask the farmer.. who generally doesn’t allow idiots on land.. pick up trash and occasional cut tree out of fields… stop by tell him fence down.. you know common sense .. Your in..

 

Preservative mix. Very heavily treated wood.

 

The funny part is there's a place on that shore called Hell Hill. Few cabins, Trees and ponds.

One of the city suburbs, which I consider to be worse than the city itself, is called paradise.

Irony.

 

Dry...and frozen.

 

Even doing a google search I can't get a straight answer of any BLM land in the northeast. But I did see something that mentions managing lighthouses. But going to this website of private research, they claim that Maine & NH have 0 acres of BLM land open to hunting (it doesn't even have VT on the list) - which I don't disbelieve. Most land that is managed around here is the US Forest Service - and some of that is open.

Tree Killer and CBVT are right, a lot of land is open by wood companies or privately owned land. Need permission for hunting privately owned land. The same is tru for hiking/snowmobiling/4-wheeling trails. A whole lot of the trails go thru private property - by land owner agreement. Idiots that don't stay on trails and tear up property have shut down a lot of accesses and trails, which is too bad.

We do have incentives for private property owners to keep their land available to the public for at least some things thru tax breaks. Anything over 10 acres of undeveloped land can be placed into "current use". Current use land can be posted for no trespassing, but there is an additional incentive called a "recreational discount" for those who keep that land available for hunting, fishing, hiking, nature observation, skiing, and snowshoeing, The more of the activities you allow, the higher the tax break.
