[ATTACH] Took the Bobcat to help a friend out and get some large logs hauled back to my place. His dad had been cutting and splitting a lot so...
Woke up to 64 in the house. Tossed a half dozen oak splits in and have a small fire going. May not even turn the blower on.
I am still working on a 10 pack of chains from Bailey’sonline.com I bought a LONG time ago. I think it was $100 for the whole thing at that time....
Uncle has a tractor with a grapple. I cut the trunk into 6’ sections, chained them and he pulled them out. Then we chained the biggest limbs and...
It’s easier to split hedge by hand, and I mean the wavy tree line kind. I wish I took pictures of the wavy grain in this beech.
That’s a lot of log on the splitter!
I would say since we moved to Michigan last year I’ve split 95% by hand. 99% with the x27. I have one of the fiskars mauls but it collects dust....
I noticed in the btu and drying chart that 12 months for American Beech was enough. I’ll have to keep this separate when I stack it in totes to...
30 cords of noodling?!?!? That’s a lotta mulch to get rid of!
Big logs! They’re fun to work with once in a while. Not sure I’d want to process them exclusively though.
This will keep me busy for a week or so. I am still on the prowl for loads of logs. I really need to get around to the tree guys and see if they...
40/63, just lit a fire to take the chill off. More oak as usual.
No progress on getting the new build going so hauled home 2 loads of big oak from a friend’s house. I’ll keep a couple of big rounds for a sawing...
I wanted a smaller saw but was unsure of how much I’d use it so I grabbed a Neotec 846 (I think) for about $120-$130. Ms250 clone. I replaced the...
30/65, oak. Found some rain soaked oak to burn. Oops. Good thing it’s almost chimney cleaning season! Hauled a load of oak logs to help a friend...
30 out, 61 in. Oak heating up the house. Pork butt on the Weber with charcoal and oak. I split all the logs I had yesterday (cheated and used the...
Got home last night to 64 in the house so lit a small fire to take the edge off. Had someone come out to quote the excavation and I told him to...
Just lit up for the morning and turned the furnace back down for the day. I can definitely tell it is warming up outside. Doesn’t take much of a...
Woke up to 65 in the house still from last night. Furnace hasn’t run yet! Oak burning now. Unfortunately our coffee pot decided it was quitting...
Oops. I put the backhoe on my Bobcat again for the spring and found out how much heavier it is again…
