Any pics of you folks making firewood in it? I wouldnt even be out with it that cold. Mid teens here with some wind. I may do some bundles today.
We would be so bundled up we couldn't move... and y'all would be at us. Just imagine 2 Michelin man cartoons walking around...... I'm having to work 7AM-7PM shift this weekend, so no firewood making... I am having to go in and out checking on things......our equipment don't like it either.
(13*) EDIT 5.9* here in SC this morning. No wonder I was cold Believe the coldest in recent past was -5 January of 1985…BRRRRRR
... I actually brought my light coat out this week... Usually its only my Key Jean Jacket... but under 20F and any length of time the light coat goes on... But under 10F and anytime outside my heavy winter coat goes on.... But yea, equipment don't like it... Oil and Fluids become pretty viscous... Stay warm Brother....
Saw 16* this morning. Yesterday while I was wondering at the plant, it finally got above freezing for awhile.....could really see the damage to our water pipes......looked like a sieve around here......at least 7 or 8 different places were spraying water... Somebody will be busy tomorrow...
Had a little more wood leave the woodyard yesterday. New customer came by, wanted some dry wood to go with what he had to burn in a fireplace. Let him get 2 rows of mostly hickory and a little maple, he really wanted more, but we're trying to stretch this for awhile. Then we delivered a load to a repeat customer... Hickory, maple, a little oak and cherry. She became a widow in Aug '21, her son got 2 racks built early this year, so we stacked it for them It was a good day...... They want a load of 16" oak in a couple weeks when the other rack in empty.
The restaurant was getting low, so we loaded a tote for delivery... Added 2 pieces of 2x4 to the hand trucks, made moving wood to stacking area much easier Got it stacked next to the cookers...
Got a call from a new customer this year wanting a 2nd load...we can handle that. 2 rows of hickory and we split a row of older small oak logs... When I woke up this evening, we had been recommended in a FB post. A couple was needing a load for her 79 yr old dad. We will be loading that this morning, a mixed load like that, as well.
Me too. We have a good bit for us to burn, some 3-4 yrs old. Got to finish up the Plantation site, and have leads on a couple other places... Got some tree service drop offs to process... And the mess the loggers left... I need you and buZZsaw BRAD here for a month...
ME? I've gotten so lazy that this is the last year burning 3+ year old wood, other than the 1.5 cords 6+ year old locust horded at Lefty's place. Need to get busy this year and stock up here at the house. Maybe you need to come here?
Another busy day in Dixie. We got the load for the older gentlemen fixed and delivered He helped us stack it. It was nice to meet and spend a bit of time with him. His SIL texted me, thanked us for prompt service and said we would definitely be their "wood" people in the future... Picked up some BBQ for lunch and filled truck with gas. Got home, ate a sammich...phone message comes in... Repeat customer wants another load of seasoned wood, if we have any. Another load...half hickory, half older oak. We got it stacked on their porch racks, hickory on the right, oak on left. Slept good last night...
Good morning Jeff. I don't do nearly as much wood as you do but when I do some I tend to sleep really good.
