Just got done pouring here.. Not doing wood today! Then lil brother (some may remember I missed a GTG at Well Seasoned) when he went 50 feet off a roof sends me these pictures Yellow birch bent over under tension from broken maple. Do I cut it again? heck no! come a long pull it off from far away. He’s at family camp hour away
Have we finished stacking 5 cord; no Got my beautiful MIL into her own apartment in Vermont; 25 minutes away not Quebec worked with wood 2x4 built interior walls for water sewer and electrical so we could insulate basement.. last year had sewer back up so fixed that and gutted basement… chitty job efficiency Vermont gave us some $$ they take every month on electric bills to weather seal insulate. In meantime lost window above 60 mph or higher wind gust are bane of my existence
Pics or it didn’t happen so it shattered in wind trying to put back in so New windows needed.. That electric line beneath had a hidden behind sheet rock splice soo electric too
So in conversations with wife I am not going in to knee high grass to help you with wood.. grass snakes are a hard pass.. so with 6 foot brush hog.. Missed couple sections.. wife why are there tall sections look like you missed it on purpose.. Yup baby bunnies need taller grass
We just had 4 in a nest 30 yards from our back door. I’m fine till they dine on my garden veg. My wife can’t resist holding them at least once a year.
We have a ton of rabbits running around this year, found a couple nests with babies and lucky haven't hit any while mowing. Also have a baby deer and his Mama hanging out this year. And one more pain in the azz...Had a Racoon and 5 babies hanging out in the attic (Pretty sure there were 6 and one died up there). Paid someone a fortune to mitigate this situation. Last but not least, the mosquitoes seem to have hatched yesterday.
Looking at those pictures, I really need to wash and wax that Kubota. This summer unless life happens. The Wood Wolverine my wife opinion is make garden bigger and let the bunnies and deer eat. eatonpcat great photo we always we always see them only few pictures have a Doe, affectionately called my breeder that has twins every year got to be in 200 # range.
Yes! While mowing yesterday I was noticing the mosquitos too. And I was within inches of hitting one of the bunnies. It was hiding and bolted right under my front wheel in front of the deck. Sucks about the coons. Hopefully the stink is gone. Crazy that fawn was laying in short grass, did it have bright blue eyes?
I'll not forget that last year about this time I came within inches of running over a fawn. I'm not sure if fawn or me were scared more. That would have been bad to run over it.
Well the 15 Apple trees and 3 acres I planted with conservation mix (lots of clover) already does that!
Since this year wood is done and next year is mostly stacked and year 3 is in various piles. I try not to do firewood in 90* and 90% humidity. Brother came up after 2 and started messing with horse barn.. Horse barn is only because it had stalls in it Pole barn 30x40 jacked up down hill side leveled Concrete poured under down hill post to support then no pics because I must have a northern phone it over heats Screw tools bolts etc Still T111 that will come down when we figure out what to replace it with not T111 at $147 for 10’ sheets painted metal $40 for ribbed framed for a 7’ roll up door for access Assorted racks for full sheets of advantec and plywood etc
I don't know if you have porcupines in that area, but here in PA they love to dine on T111, so most cabin owners avoid using it.
8" sheets with Z flashing wont work for you? Prime the edge before installing? Any local mills for EWP rough sawn?
The 8’ footer are $48 here; leaves 18” uncover at bottom, I’ve been call in the 4 local mills for pricing. But primed and painted metal pans might win for less maintenance and longevity That previous picture shows the degradation of that west facing wall. Waves in the eve, like a lake.
