I have always said: "In Maine, you better have either a big pile of cash, or a big pile of firewood, but do not get could dead without one or the...
Actually probably not. The big thing is I always keep 3 piles going: One that has been drying for 2-3 weeks One that is drying One that I just...
I should not say that no one has wood years in advance ahead here, but for 90% of the people, the wood they buy in the year is burned the...
You guys would laugh at me then something fierce because I burn green wood right off the stump. I got a super insulated home and found that most...
I brush my chimney once a month, but I also make my chimneys easy to do so. But I burn green softwood too.
Oh yeah you are 100% correct: this was 100% preventable, hard on equipment and not my normal twitch road. I am picking up "tops" from previously...
No, no problem, I never took it as a rant. This was one of those things where you do it 1000 times and the trees have always been predictable. If...

Someone said "You need some boys" and I said, "Oh...the boys will show up, don't you worry". I already have my line picked out for them. "I got a...
So I get up this morning and my oldest daughter says, "Good morning Daddy, I am a Teenager now". Those are just the not words you want to here...
If there was a "Safety Spot" sub-forum, I think I would be the only one posting... I got hurt pretty bad again today while out logging. I bring...
Well I am not always clear. I had someone ask me in a private message about how the liver and Thyroid was linked. On October 23rd my Thyroid was...
Just an update here... FIRST and Foremost, I appreciate the genuine concern for my health, wife and four daughters as shown on here, it truly...
Got more new from the the Dr yesterday and it continues to be bad: it seems there is some junk in my liver now.
