Thanks guys. I showed my wife some photos of maple countertops, and I think I have some convincing still to do.
I'd say he earns his money. The wood is 2-3 years old, genuinely dry, cut to a consistent length, and in nice shape. He delivers on a set...
There's a guy local to me who sells genuinely barn dried oak, and he's now at $799/cord. https://www.espesethfirewood.com/firewood He does a...
This might be a little unusual for this sub-forum, but it seems like the sawmill folks are the most likely to have good answers. Apologies in...

I usually go top-down and take the easy way out with a fire starter. [img]
I bet someone will be along soon who can ID your insert. I grew up with a ducted wood furnace. I think it's a good technology, and I'm surprised...
Wow, 7 cords a year is a lot of wood! We'll finish up our second cord this week. A third cord should get us through April.

I've also come around to my dad's old technique of packing multiple pairs of gloves. If one pair gets even a little wet or starts to ice up, it...
My only regret with the 562 was not getting the heated handles. In retrospect, they're such a no-brainer upgrade in Minnesota.
I appreciate Autotune in the winter. The difference between the self-adjusting carb and manual is pretty noticeable, at least for the first 15...
I think we're on the edge of the cherry range, because I don't see them here often. And when I do, they seem to die and rot before they hit the...
Widening my net. I’d be interested in a Poulon Pro 455 in nice running shape, too.
I have a lot of empathy for guys trying to make a go of it in labor-intensive small businesses. That's what my dad did growing up, and there were...
Federal property is exempt from adverse possession, and I would expect most states have similar laws.
I recently saw an ad from a company looking for a climber offering $100/hr. I doubt a bucket truck + CDL + guy in the bucket working around power...
Grab a rake or something and push the snow off.
