For me it’s primarily joint issues. 26 years in the printing industry, which required lots of repetitive hand motions, took its toll. Hopefully it doesn’t get a lot worse. Temps here are fantastic right now. Wish we could hit the pause button on that. Mid to late next week they’re guessing close to 80 degrees. It really is time to get the saws out and start cutting. And.. it’s perfect for riding on 2 wheels!! Any progress on the new scooter?
Finished up getting some wood for dad today by noon so I decided to move 2 more loads to my basement. Cleaned up the mess from last time first. Threw it all under a row of pine trees on my property line. Should decay into some good stuff and re-enrich the soil. At least that’s my hopes. 2 big wheel barrows full. The not so fun part of white oak..
Great day for it. Yeah that wood waste makes great compost. Quite a bit in back of my truck I'll eventually clean out. My PA covered with it and how the worms come out when I'm walking on it. There's a reservoir right down the street where locals can fish. I've thought of selling them.
I moved a load to a buddy's mom's place last night. Had made some Solo Stove sized splits to try to sell. No takers. Had about half a tote full. Needed to move the tote to gain better access to this years stacks. Northern White.
Nice stuff there. I have a couple 25lb+ boxes of the same for sale on FBM. Had some dry oak and hickory shorties that I split plus some one inch thick oak pallet boards I cut down. One of my smoker customers stated he had used some of the smoker wood in his small pizza oven so I got the idea. No takers yet here either.
Basement fully stuffed. One more trailer load thrown in and it’s all stacked. View attachment 475227 Calling it 3.5 cords.
That’s a very clean load of wood. Being I have access to this chestnut oak, I take it but it sure would be nice to get into some less messy wood. I forget what it’s like.
Just got a msg back from Tony (old bike shop boss). Looks like I may be bumping my honey hole thread soon! He’s on vaca till last week of Oct but said I could come after that and get whatever I wanted. He had the bad leaner (that was hanging over his garage) cut last week and kept the wood for me.
This firewood cart popped up randomly on my Amazon page, and I remembered our discussion here. This Vevor one is quite a bit cheaper than the one from Northern Tool, and is probably the same thing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CCPFB126/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_plhdr=t&aaxitk=c88ce65b18bc0590aace750e17568019&hsa_cr_id=0&qid=1792867967&sr=1-1-9e67e56a-6f64-441f-a281-df67fc737124&i=aps&aref=yIW4OFEV8j&ref_=sbx_s_sparkle_sbtcd_asin_0_title&pd_rd_w=lfwU7&content-id=amzn1.sym.8de9b3d5-f5c5-40e9-9b39-d65f08d6ea68:amzn1.sym.8de9b3d5-f5c5-40e9-9b39-d65f08d6ea68&pf_rd_p=8de9b3d5-f5c5-40e9-9b39-d65f08d6ea68&pf_rd_r=0ERWK1S5DRSNFWPDYJKM&pd_rd_wg=d865S&pd_rd_r=6b4ba0ad-6cf8-4a17-b69e-28e01425c881
Hey Woodtroll, thanks. Funny you should post this today as I bought and just assembled a few hours ago one I got from Amazon. Problem with a lot of the ones I looked at was the frame was 20" wide. Since I use 16" length splits, got this one at 12.5" wide. I like the large diameter wheels too. Obviously have not used it yet. Seems like it will work but it is cheap Chinese materials.
I wouldn't doubt that Amazon is stalking FHC somehow. LOL I like that cart, looks like it should work well on rougher ground than those 10" tires on the one I have. Let us know once you've tried it out.
