Love this thread and all the great ideas. It is all about not getting hurt and protecting the back from getting hurt. Poor Man's log lift Humble setup that keeps me going

Here are pics of my little tractor setup Here a couple pics of my setup.

Sharpened up the chains, filled the gas can I'm a ready. :msp_smile: Always amazed at how people respond to the media coverage.... You can't find a loaf of bread or Milk at the supermarket. All the batteries are gone and not single generator left. Which is a good thing I guess for the...

Wow how right you are. My wife posted on facebook the same pictures and wouldn't you know it the kids ended up selling 2 more bundles to a grandmother at their school. How cool is that? We picked up brown paper bags and are stuffing them with the turds and noodles for firestarters. Please...

Thanks! Great ideas! I have a bunch of noodles and splitter turds. :laugh: I will have the kids fill the brown paper bags and then place the paper bags in the middle of the logs before we wrap em. Last week we said screw it and just put the bundles out for sale. The ideas and feedback...

The wood is hard maple but most of the bark has fallen off. We are trying to figure out how we can sell or include some kindling in the bundles. We try to bundle 2 big pieces then 4 medium then 2 small so it starts easier for folks.

Great story to share with everyone. Kids and I have been selling firewood bundles at the end of the driveway for a week with no success. Today a guy pulls in and buys $30 dollars worth of wood! The kids were ecstatic! Talk about excited kids! :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange: There...

We have the Oslo and love it! Plain black nothing fancy if I had to do it again I would go with the porcelain just for aesthetics. What do you clean it with? Looks like 2 bolts on each side and assume it will drop out for cleaning.

Does ONB lead to more creosote buildup? Not sure but would tend to think that lower burning temperatures will produce more creosote in chimmney Does ONB reduce efficiency? Depends on stove and if it has a Catalytic unit How often would you preform ONB? Every night I hate starting the...

Kids like to have fun after the work gets done.

The two older ones are in college so they are busy being college kids. But the two younger boys are 15 and 10 so I have taken an active role in their lives. The 15 year old is a work horse with a great work ethic unbelievable for today's kids. The 10 year old is no slouch either just tries to...

Thought I would share a recent experience with everyone. Last weekend cut up some dead trees and split them into firewood. I'm pretty much set for firewood this year so I thought I would share the wealth with others. Decided to drop it off at my Sister in Laws, well the timing could not...

I have found the snap traps are very effective for getting rid of the mice. Like others have said put peanut butter on the metal tab and a chocolate chip. I have yet to have a mouse finish a chocolate chip! The peanut butter chocolate chip combo gets em every time. :hmm3grin2orange:

Keep it simple Mark all the trees that will be taken down in blue..... cuz when your done there is nothing but blue sky above! Yellow for the trimming cuz ya have to watch out for hazards! Just my 2 cents

I plan on being there Friday and Saturday. Been waiting a whole year for this..... If you haven't been to this show and you are a member on this site you have no idea what your missing or your not serious about your CAD condition. :) Going to the Woodsmen Days is like going to Mecca...

Anyone heading up? Plan on going Friday and Saturday.

Your not kidding so far I have had about 6 fires and the first 4 were small due to the "seasoning process". Immediately I have noticed that it is easier to control the temperature and the consumption of wood to maintain the temperature has been reduced. I must be getting old..... Or this...

Here are some pics of the new stove, I had to build out the hearth in order for the Jotul to fit. What a difference this stove makes! This was the setup from last year before I installed the new Jotul.

Thanks WoodDoc These pics are exactly what I was hoping you would post. Your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. :clap: Being a self sufficient one man show requires us to work smart and let the equipment do the hard work. Can you take a picture of the bottom of that ramp? I like your...
