OK thats more like it. Its no fun unless everyone has a good foot of snow on the ground. Whats the saying? "Misery loves company"

Cheater! you dont have any snow. I'm jealous. close to 4feet here.

I use a Mingo myself. Really nice on tree length logs. Mark 16" as fast as you can walk. My homemade splittter has an opening only 18" so I really need to be fairly accurate. They are a hard plastic so you need to watch you dont step on it or hit it with piece of wood.

The wife and I had the same stove in a small camp we lived in for a couple yrs. Had aluminum foil stuffed in every air leak but still sounded like a jet. Be 85 to 90deg in the camp around 3am then by 7am the dogs water bowl had a layer of ice more than once. Kind of miss living in the camp though.

Wonder why they had a spraypainted X on the truck? Vacation home-marked it while there and called a tree service from home, or maybe a city /county job? Like to have that timberjack though.

If you had a forklift would it be possible to load a pallet with cut logs and then load the whole thing through the doors? Obviously wouldn't matter if you had a large amount of pallets.

Yeah luckily I only go through 5 to 6 gallons a year. Used to buy a couple at a time when I'd go into Wal-mart. So it has gone up quite abit then. I thought maybe I bought the stuff labeled from the summer.

Used up my old supply and I just dropped $7.98 on poulan bar oil at Wal-mart. It was $4.88 forever it seemed. Is it that high everywhere or did I just get screwed. It was way in back in the garden area. I thought oil came down.

I just saw an add in a local buy/sell guide for old carpet that they said had sat outside all winter but somebody was welcome to take it because they said it would make "good free fuel to burn" To cheap/lazy to take it to the dump I guess.

On my 4 way I built I used an older homemade single splitter wedge (about 2" thick and 6"tall) that sticks out in front of the 3 other splitter wings. This starts the split vertically and low to the beam so when the 2 sides of the log contact the horizontal wings they only have to split one...

Took me a minute to find that hard workin' cross dressin' fruitcake in the last pic, but I see him on the springboard there.

Nice toys. I like the 580 being able to pick up poles like that to cut instead of bent over like a caveman. If you always cut long poles like that and mark them you ought to pick up a Mingo. When I skid out whole trees I can mark 16" as fast as I can walk next to it.

I've used 2(in case one burned out) heat lights inside the boiler. Put a 5gal bucket over the chimney. Keep the circ. pump running and you shouldn't have any trouble.

I picked up a 32' conveyor last winter. I bought a 6.5hp honda engine on ebay for about nothing but like a previous poster noted I only let it run at an idle. Mine has the 2 detachable chains on either side with paddles connecting both. Once in a while a piece will jam. When this happens I...

Woodweasel I tried to send you a pm but it says your inbox is full. Just had a couple questions as I'm moving down there in the spring.

I see angled downward back-cuts once in a while. Usually on a few trees in somebodies yard or along a road. The cut usually starts 8"-10" above the notch and angles down to just behind to create a hinge. I'm not a logger but cut alot of trees and have never saw the need for this cut. Am I...

Non-snow skidded log will for sure eat your chains. But if he uses a forwarder you can cut even summer cut wood without to much trouble. PS-if the wood is cheap/free it would be worth it either way. just buy a bunch of files and chains

What part of NC are you from? My wife and I may be moving down to the Wilmington area for her job at the university. I myself have a small sawmill and small firewood business up here in Mich. I was curious as to what types of hardwoods might be found around Wilmington. Any info you have would be...

Huskyman, I was just curious if that was 5/8" pex in your barn?

I don't think I would tear out the entire floor. I would do like the post above and use reflective foil foam. They make a plywood routed to take pex but like the previous said use a router yourself and a little time and you'll have it. Your thresholds and 1st riser height on stairs will change...
