    Actually I mis spoke. My old gloves went into my stainless steel incinerator (with honor). I paid $400 for this thing about 15 years ago. Wife had a fit but it was money well spent. This damm thing is gonna out last me!

    It’s easy when you cut everything 16”. And my stacking jig helps a lot as well.

    Then I went to my woods to clean up around the monster pile. Ha it’s not monster sized anymore. I will get it back to monster size next spring.

    There have been several nights at our 977 sq ft Central Wisconsin cabin that we have had 9 people overnight. So we decided (after much thought) to acquire some type of overflow sleeping apparatus. Our decision was to buy an ALiner Scout Light camping trailer. A pop up. It will mostly stay in the shed but will be pulled out to provide sleeping space for two adults. We pick it up Thursday this is an internet pic. The sticker says 1240# dry weight. (no water or LP)

    Much cheaper than adding on another bedroom,,,,

    My wife was vacuuming some construction debris out of it and she says “I think I’ll sleep out here tonight”.

    When we built this house I had the flat work concrete guy slope the garage floor 1 inch every running 10 feet. He didn’t want to do it I had to talk him into it. I want all the winter slop to run out the door. Which is what the A Liner would have done without the wheel “chocks”.

    Last night I was rooting around under the camper with a flashlight just checking things out? Looky what I found:

    IMG_5333.jpeg

    We have a screw in a tire. It’s not leaking (yet) as both tires and the spare had 55#. I will pull this tire next spring then remove the screw. If it’s a leaker I will plug it and make it the spare. It’s always something,,,,

    Better finding the screw at home than it making itself known in the middle of nowhere.
