I think it was about 30 when I lit a nice fire. Probably 50 now. Hauled home 2 loads of logs. I think they are beech but not sure. I’ll have to...
25/68, have a nice morning fire right now with some oak. I’ll be headed out this morning to split a little wood. Still need to source some logs....
Haven’t burned for the last few days but lit one today since it’s colder out. Oak keeping us warm. Hopefully by the time fall shows up we are...
Splits were 2 years for me, never could get rounds to dry. Even small ones after 3 years still held some moisture. Boy did it burn hot though. I...
40/68. Burning some oak. Down to about a tote and a half left for this year I think. Spring is on the way!
Nice score! I don’t use my dump trailer enough but it sure is handy when I find someone that needs a pile of logs gone right now. I’m on the...
30/65. Oak and another tax return. Hope it’s less windy today. Splitting sounds like a nice way to kill a few hours. All of our totes are full and...
More oak and another old tax return. The returns are 50-80 pages all in a Manila envelope. I fold them in half and stick them under a heavy log....
Had a couple days out of town for work. Oak back in the wood burner. Getting close to the end of the wood stack. We’ve gone through 17.5/19 totes...
44/65, oak and an old tax return heating the Osburn this morning. Turned the furnace down to 62. Rain rain rain outside!
28/68, more oak. My wife started to stack processed splits last night since I’ve filled all of our totes through the winter as we emptied them. We...
I have a 7x14 or 8x14 14000# dump trailer. It’s handy when you need it but it costs a lot to sit there. I think I have $12k into it. I use it to...
16/68, oak burning. Big full moon all night. Woke up at one point thinking we both forgot to set alarms! Split one tote worth of cotton(esque)...
Darn. How hard is it to make a steel box hat doesn’t have QC issues?!? The search continues. Might have to break my own rule and get a catalytic....
I’m of the opinion that simple and functional is the way to go, often leads to a budget friendly purchase. I’d like a slightly large stove that I...
18/68, shoveled the ashes out and have oak ripping now. Thinking about going out with the Skidsteer to lift up the last 5-6 cottonwood(esque) logs...
30/68, burning oak. I’ll be headed out to split wood today I think. I dug around some old logs that were stacked in 2018 or so and found a little...
Our house now has two “cold” rooms. One has the original pre1900 windows still, the other is over the crawl space and is just plain cold. We keep...
20/62, woke up before the furnace did today. Burning some sassafras and oak branches/rounds. It’s been chilly this week so far. The spring tease...
I definitely have reservations about spray foam. I think we will just stick with traditional batts, rock wool maybe? I read it is less bug and...
