Nice. Boy or boy, you're so lucky to have flat ground! :) I have to excavate and bulldoze when I want flat ground. The joys of living on a hillside.
Tight stacks for sure. And up off the ground too, smart.
Those IBC crates here are too expensive. Otherwise I'd be all over that. Out of Toronto I can get them for about $10 but I'd have to buy a tractor...
This is the tensioner I bought. Supplies purchased through Uline. Poly Strapping Tensioners in Stock - ULINE.ca
I've been running 40:1 as well. Its just I've been questioning that since I burned up a Husq 353 the other day.
They use them so that the strapping machines doesn't damage the 4 boards located on outside corners of the stack of lumber. I've thought of that....
Here's what were were doing (still are) for our own house supply. 8 bins. Each holds 128 cu ft. Hand stacked in, hand stacked out. Covers go on...
Nope, just dump and go. [ATTACH]
I've been experimenting too with different size racks. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Maybe 1000 pallets a year. I've certainly not going to pay $2,000 for a battery operated tool. I get that they may be handy, but nope.
For those of you that mix your own oil and gas, what ratio are you using? 40:1, 50:1, 100:1 ? Does it depend on what type saw you are using? Does...
Its work no matter how you look at it. For us, we want to make sure the wood we sell is dry first. The quickest way to do that is to split and...
Trying a new way to split and stack firewood. Previous idea was crating, which works, but takes time and resources to build the crates. So I...
I'll probably replace all wear parts while I'm at it. I've frigged with lawn mowers before and even torn saws down but I've never rebuilt a saw...
Topped up the yard with another 16 cords of hardwood. CAD$1920 (USD$1400 USD) a load of 16 cord (16 x 128 cu ft) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes, love the 353. I'll probably touch base with you on your recommendations. Thanks.
Yes, gas and oil mix. Good gas, good oil. I've got a 372XP as a spare along with a smaller Stihl MS230. It was used for many years by my late...
now its to see if its worth fixing.
It was a bit cranky today, sputtering when I turned it sideways to do hinge cuts. Like a plugging fuel line or it about to run out of gas. Then it...
We're starting to sell.
