What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Looks good! I dont remember that option for the big trees when I picked mine out.

They're a beast for sure, but I was able to get mine out of the truck, through the house and onto the hearth by myself with a little ingenuity.

 

Not really we read all the time, but movie is her type to laugh. Plus she is normally in bed by 8pm, alarm goes off at 4 am, so wife lunch and matinee it is.

 

Please share that ingenuity. Kind of figuring that I will get some of my brute grandsons to haul it in and set it.

 

I have aluminum ramps to aid in getting my handicapped father in law into the house. I backed up to my deck and removed a hand rail, then I rocked the stove side to side while putting a board underneath each time until I could slide a harbor freight dolly under it. Then I blocked the dolly to the stove and rocked it side to side removing a board on each side so it sat on the dolly.

Then I rolled it down the ramp onto the deck, then up the same ramp into the house. I cut a sheet of plywood into thirds and rolled the stove over the plywood on my pine floors until I got to the hearth.

My hearth is only an inch high, so I just positioned the last sheet so that it was over the lip, and pushed it up onto the hearth, then started rocking it back and forth pulling a board from each side until it was on the ground then wrestled it into place.

 

Chit I'm on a 4 week weekend, only problem is that I am not allowed to walk. 3 days into it the pain went away and it got really boring really fast.

Meniscus tear. Overrated .

 

TrinitySouth99, get any snow today?

 

We good

 

I had 2 problems. Pick up height and my forks are sprung and can't get the tilt back I should. Finally put a 2x4 on the front of the forks to solve the tilt back problem. I then went in and told my wife we are going to get close. Your going to take a skid steer ride. She didn't know if she weight enough. I promise you I was kind. Didn't go into the fact that the operator platform is 4' from the front wheels and her weight was going to be compounded. Worked like a champ.

 

We had a pair of broad shoulder hawks nesting behind the garage starting back in February.
We watched the nest ~100' from my garage until the leaves came in.
Yesterday my neighbor says there's a juvenile sitting up at the edge of the driveway, had been there since yesterday. He didn't care that I walked up to within 10' of him.

 

Nothing like "Living on the edge".................................

 

Beautiful.

 

Madison is closer than Eau Claire to me, but Madison is a good 1.5 hours away. WWII aircraft are pretty cool though. If there was a p-38, then maybe...

 

Well.....here we go. Last weekend of peace and quiet until after labor day. The ponds population will grow by a third starting today.

Fireworks to make the dog flip out, and worst, the return of the morons who's family owns the house across the street from me.
