Sugar Maple is king for cold nights here. Plentiful, hot, and quick to season. It is great at shedding its bark after a year or two also, which...
Those are in fact secondaries in your second photo. Welcome to the club. :)
Haven't started yet.. But I did clean the chimney and bring in two stove loads of pine this afternoon. Low of 34 tonight, may need some warmth in...
I don't think I'd want to bury untreated ash or maple, but I'll bet you get many years out of them if they're off the ground. Maybe tar for the...
Dig the engineering and the plastic pallets, Warner. I hope you have a helper down there, or you're going to have some serious stairs to do!
If its for a pit, cut and burn today if you want. If it's -15 with 30mph sustained wind and you want to keep the Mrs in shorts... Season that...
Pretty amazing what a little elevation does, isn't it? I commuted to Chicopee for work a couple years, and it was always a gas to leave home with...
Still holding out here - every time we get close the sun comes out and we warm back up. Only touched 64 inside once, for about an hour. I guess...
Welcome from western-er western MA. :) Sounds like the perfect score - close to home, and helping a neighbor!
Went with screws in the valleys - thanks all for the input! Will have to get some pics up shortly.. Mine is similar to yours, DaveGunter, in...
Woodshed #2 is nearly complete, just need to put on a few galvanized panels to finish it up. I've never laid metal roofing, and have read two...
Wow, no kidding about that! Bigfrank, will the wood keep that color for long? Sure is pretty!
This part is great - ours gets mighty cagey if she doesn't get a few hours outdoors in the afternoon. Dinner can't come late enough! After work,...
I like it!! First daughter is 18 and just moved to college, #2 is 2.5 and just about able to pick up and move a normal sized split on her own. I...
No kidding, huh? I just split a round of Norway Maple sitting for close to 2yrs a bit larger than the pictures and got 33%.
Life is good, but it can be darn near perfect when you find the right person to spend it with. Congratulations and Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs T....
Your stacking precision never gets old to see, metalcuttr. No one will ever confuse your stacks with mine!
We've seen 39 a couple times overnight, but the house hasn't gotten lower than 66 and recovers well enough during the day. If Mrs Papi wasn't 6...
Nice job, ac and Bert!
Nice work helping a buddy and yourself at the same time! Can we discuss bringing in a troop of koalas for brush cleanup?
