Red maple is a fair wood, in my experience. A mid-range workhorse that can do the job when you're still in double digits, but best only to pack...
Molon Labe.
A young person who's into shooting and has a strong work ethic is an American treasure! Nice job Richelle and Sourwood! It's MIT's loss if they...
We considered a sprayer when we had a few rooms to do. After long deliberation, we settled on a power roller. Not once did we find ourselves...
Speaking as an IS owner, secondaries still do their thing in a hybrid stove with the cat engaged and the air adjusted high enough. The only time...
Cleaning out the chest freezer this evening, I came across some beef roasts that have been around for a few years. I'm not worried for safety -...
Great job, Chaz! Your buddy is lucky to have you. Safe drops, no damage, baby animals don't have to sleep inside. I hoist a glass of Winning to...
Not here.. I tend to wait too long to empty mine so the corners get packed tight, but no clumpy moisture issues here yet. Do you have an OAK...
I'll get some fireballs (we call it "whoofing" since that's at it sounds like) that send a smoke smell into the room if I try to run a stove full...
I find the same with white pine. Softwoods definitely let me know when they're not dry! Had a few fires go out in the owb when we were starting...
I'm in the "Cultured Hill Folk" section, with some elevation and very little of the "cultured" vibe in my little town. ;) With the right stove,...
I wouldn't try to cut the whole length like it's on a sawmill. Starting at the root end, make cuts like you're bucking it, but only cut halfway or...
3* above here. Not much wind to speak of. Sugar maple and a couple splits of black locust choochin here. As I sit here in front of the stove...
I see the problem. You ran out of counting fingers on the other hand. The purple "zep" degreaser sold at HD will take oil stains out of cement....
Roll a handful of those chips between your hands and take a big whiff, and she'll give up the secret. :)
I've wrapped half a roll of electrical tape around the haft just behind the head to extend life. Moderately successful - easy to replace if it...
In my previous career, I've probably hired 500 entry level or near entry level workers. Started as an entry level myself as a teen, and grew into...
Great hack! I've replaced mine as well, and the replacement doesn't have much life left. I'll definitely get a couple washers in there when I...
Happy New Year to you and yours, Midwinter! :D
Can't drink all day unless you start in the morning! ;) I like to drink, but unless it's a particularly rare circumstance, I don't like to be...
