What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Maybe a bit of hallucinatin' too, eh? I figure they just feel sorry for the old guy with the gray hair standing in front of 'em (me).

 

More like she seen you in the buff.................hence the giggling?????............inquiring minds need to know......

 

Oh helz no. No one needs to see that.

 

Is the lumber for the barn milled from your trees?

 

Man, is this site ever getting busy on the weekends now!
All it took was a couple cool nights, and bam!

 

No pics, too busy working Took down Mom's ash tree. 18 loads to the brush pile and 4.5 truckloads of wood. Had about 7 helpers and had it done in 6 hrs. Hired a guy who was swinging around on ropes. Got it to the ground and took it from there. Figured the FHC crowd would appreciate this.

 

No. Nope. Noppity nope nope nope. No.

 

This is a good thing........ I think. Yes,..it's a good thing.

 

No. It ended up easier to just let the logger find his own buyer for the logs. Rather than coordinate with several Amish mills near here. Transport trucks could haul out 4-5000 bd.ft. to the big mills.

Another thing was the local Amish mills get much larger logs from the forestry harvester/supplier. Good when ordering larger/wider boards. (Like 2x12x14s)

So the lumber is all Amish rough cut or full dimensional lumber. Just from larger diameter trees. Heavier and stronger but more time consuming.

 

Caffeine going in. Almost time for shower. Going to start building when the sun is up high enough that we can see.

 

Work safe.
Off course, can't wait for the pics!

 

Time to fill up the "to go" mug with coffee and head out. Thinking its gonna be a sheet metal bending sort of day!

Good day for everyone!

 

Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp... ... ahhhhhhhhhh... ... have a great day everyone...

 

Good morning, 50 to upper 60's today, coffee is on and I get to work another 12 q/2 of 'em, today is my Friday!!
Be safe out there and have a good day.

 

Thanksgiving up here today. Dawned clear with the temp. sitting on 32. All have a great and safe day.

 

Yesterday was a soaker. I wrapped up canning 6 quarts of stew and 12 jars of apple jelly.

Today is fall prep day. Clear and cool out. Ill be repairing the flashing to the chimneys, moving some wood up and getting the boiler ready. The stove is cruising along nicely.

 

Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian members!

 

Thanks !
