    Three day weekend and no wood cutting

    I have a three day weekend off and am not going to cut firewood. Going to Northeast Indianapolis to see the GRANDDAUGHTER! Someone needs to spoil her. Family, food, fun, frivolity, faith and a few cold beers. Life is good.

    Broke Rear Glass

    Have him check with his insurance agent It is a comprehensive loss. He may have the coverage and it may have a low deductible. It should not raise his rates. If he has coverage and if he has a deductible naturally you would offer to pay.

    After many, many years of heating with wood

    I am still amazed by how little wood I need to use to heat my 1800 square feet home when the temperature rises to the mid 30's. I am using an older fireplace insert located in one end of a ranch style home. It keeps the whole house warm, the furnace hasn't ran since the temperature got back up...

    Thinning the Herd (MS361,460,660)?

    Thinning the herd I got rid of an 066 and bought a MS 460 Magnum. Love it. Not nearly as heavy as an 066. It makes quick work of the bigger rounds. Next I got rid of an MS 270 and got the MS 361. No regrets here either. The MS 361 has become my go to saw. It is my favorite. For...

    What are you using

    I have two Giants - both carbon fiber. I usually get in 2500 miles a year mostly spring, summer and early fall. Wood cutting is my other passion. At one time I had wanted a Trek 5900 however I like the fit of Giants compact frame much better. They are stiff, light and very fast.

    Wholesale firewood?

    I have a lot of firewood but do not wish to market and deliver it. I don't mind cutting and splitting. If I were to cut and split on my wood lot and then have someone pick up the wood and sell it what would be a fair price for a cord. The wood would be maple, ash, cherry and hackberry and a...

    regrets - glad it wasn't me...

    +1 for me on this. It doesn't look right. Look at the stump and look at the angle the tree went thru the house. Something doesn't look right in this picture. It does not appear the tree rolled and then fell into the house.
