I've been playing with the calculations for a solar system. Some houses will need a panel or service disconnect upgrade if a line side tap is not...
It rained for 8 hours last night and the temperature dropped like 10 degrees. Highs in the 80s after a week of 99-103. We had several plants...
In past years we usually have highs with 90s -80s% relative humidity. The last 4 days we've had relative humidity down to 19% with a dew point...
It's low for parts of Missouri. I grew up next to the Mississippi River. It was almost always maximum air saturation down in the bottoms. I...
Well it's been over 100 the last 3 days. It was 100 in the shade at 4pm today. Kids said it was 103 at the farm house. My boy and I went to...
A load of 4+ ft long logs. Loaded by hand with some help from my 13 year old son. We waited until 8:30 pm for the cool temp of 96f. We did skid...
I used the last month of hot and dry to kill many of my thorn bushes. I have a mix of round-up and 2,4-D that I spot spray directly on the...
I grew up cutting hedge in rural Missouri. Almost all the hedgerows planted on the 1920s are gone now. Pushed out to make bigger farms and a few...
It was almost 20 degrees cooler today after a morning rain shower....first one in 5 weeks that was more than enough to settle the dust. So my 17...
For that much, I'd drive to Nashville to sell a cord of oak.
I have an 066 with a 20" bar to cut really fast. If I had a chainsaw mill I might have been able to justify it.
Stopped by the green waste site after work today and someone dropped off a truckload of cut ash. It was killed by EAB and appears to have been...
I found a couple 088s for sale the other day for $900 each. I was tempted but I couldn't see what I'd use it for really.
It's that time of year for bears to start showing up in towns here in the Ozarks. We've been extremely dry the last 3-5 weeks so the summer...
I don't think you need direct sunlight for the kiln to dry wood. Sunlight hitting the wood will help directly heat the wood. If the kiln gets...
I grew up on a farm that has a temporary fence 5+ years older than me...so 50 can be temporary. I cut brush and mended that fence several times....
Not 10, but I let my kids that showed interest run my Stihl 180. I have safety chain for it. I bought chaps, gloves, and eat protection for...
Duallys are great tow pigs. The extra tire decreases traction per tire. So when the truck is unloaded it "floats" a bit more than a single wheel...
Sounds like you have a plan. Share pics when you get something.
Used the tractor to pull bushes out of the ground. 3 big ones were next to the garage and I didn't like them taking up valuable laydown space....
