Most of what I cut for firewood are yard trees they are nice in one aspect as they are big but sometimes something metal that just ruins a chain can be in them like Bolts nails cable fence post and sometimes pieces of chain link fence can be found
Foreign matter in logs just ruins all the fun, that's all there is to it. I cut farm trees again today, fortunately no iron deposits this time.
I cringed when I first saw your pole buildings, but then saw that you are down south. Up here, in northern WI, it's common to have 50 psf snow loads and high winds at the same time. That calls for heavy posts, strong trusses/rafters, and closer spacing on everything. I love seeing your pictures. You make me look downright lazy. keep it up.
Yes, we don't get much snow here, it's the summer storms that are the issue. Thanks for the kind words, we've actually been hiding out in the shop with the AC all summer...... hopefully we'll get to doing more interesting things in a couple months. Planning to build an extension to the shop next.....hopefully.
