Got-da love it...good on you.
[Bring on the cold! :shiver: :coldfire: Don't wish for that yet!! I still have a LOT of fall work to get done yet...and a bunch of fishing to...
Man that's a pretty sight!
That is a very good point!!! I don't really want to build another storage...but we'll see what projects I have going this fall. More storage may...
We don't fully heat with wood. Just supplement. Last year was just on weekends. Thinking next year will be a little more...but still more NG than...
What kind are they? I know very little about types of snakes.
The storage is complete and the main (4) bays are full. If my guestimation is correct, and we burn about a cord a year, I am at my mark. Now I...
Wow those were no joke! With my back there would have been no way I would even try to tackle those. Be careful, back issues are nothing you want...

Well, a couple steps closer today. All the trusses are in, all the braces are in, and started cutting tails. I couldn't resist. I got tails cut...
Yea, I've had (3) spine surgeries so I shouldn't be doing half the stuff I do. I should start quartering more rounds than I do. I just don't like...
I'm new to this but I am learning quickly to shy away from those giant ones on FBM when hording. "labor sucking" is an understatement sometimes....
On a fraction of the scale...I know your feeling. Can't wait to be at that point to start hording again. And I have only been at this for less...
Looks like you have plenty of work a head of you. Good luck, hope the chair idea keeps working for you.
Yep. Split it, stacked it, and didn't have anything to cover it with, so I let it ride. By November/December I brought some in the house to warm...
