Hey, that might be a good activity for his get-together! Jerry Clower told some good stories about rat killin's. :D
Bluebirds that far north this time of year seems pretty strange to me; we usually lose them down here by October or so. Do you have them there...
A two-fingered 150-lb. man, at that! ;)
To me, that yellow color means either mulberry or black locust. The mulberry bark is even somewhat similar in look to black locust, but not nearly...
Yep, I'd say mulberry too. Eric gets the $1000, but what's second prize? LOL
Right! Better than money in the bank! With a good reserve of firewood you can heat your home no matter what else happens in the world, even if...
A lot of good heat right there. Nice!
That's what I've been doing. I've still got some stuff down that I haven't gotten cleaned up from Helene and from our Feb. '25 ice storm that left...
If it's across a road or fence, or laying in a hayfield, doing nothing is not an option. And picking it up off the wet ground and splitting it...
That's true. But the discussion at hand is, what to do with it until you can buck and split?
I like your house storage rack. 55 gallon drums cut in half, or what are those containers?
Whatever you do, don't throw a tarp over it and seal it down to the ground all the way around. If you do have to tarp it, use something like a...
Good for you! Not something I would/could ever do at this point in my life, but I'm truly impressed by those who put forth the effort to make it...
I was pondering the different experiences folks have had storing polewood, and it dawned on me why it might work mostly okay for me but sometimes...
I like your set-up! "You have to adjust your technique to your capabilities" is such sound advice. Lots of ways to do most things if you put some...
I always enjoyed splitting wood by hand, and always took pride in it. It's good, honest work that doesn't take too much thought so you can ponder...
I store firewood in log form sometimes. It's often dead to begin with, but sometimes live ice/windfall. I put it up on minimum 10-12" runners, and...
What did it used to be? A tractor or implement tool box?
Good luck! I hope they get her on the path to a quick recovery!
I'm much more impressed by this young lady! Although the shoeless wood processing makes me cringe, with the rocks and bare feet she's proving a...
