    how to use a chainsaw?

    video Here's a video with a lot of good info, towards the end they show you how to sharpen a chain as well, skip the other stuff if you need to. http://www.tilton.usa.jonsered.com/Files/Jonsered/cs/downloads/videos/Working_with_chainsaws_176x132.wmv

    Who's gotten free firewood from the stuck thread above?

    Still lookin here, but it wasn't that long ago that I posted and my area is tough for free or even cheap wood. Heck I'd be happy with some reasonably priced log length.:)

    Can I go wrong with a Jotul?

    Oh man you did better than me, I had to buy a new bedroom set to get mine... although I think I had already lost that battle before the new woodstove talk.

    Can I go wrong with a Jotul?

    Hey as long as she's happy right :) My jaw dropped when my wife picked the flat black. It seems no matter what we're picking out, even without looking at price tags she'll inevitably pick the most expensive one. Guess the sun shines on a dog's..... well you know the rest :cheers:

    Can I go wrong with a Jotul?

    I ended up going with the flat black on my 600, and I got it for 1954 + tax. That was 15% off of their normal price for anything they had left in stock, would have been about 300 more for the blue/black enamel, didn't price any other color enamels. Also, I believe jotul just raised their...

    Can I go wrong with a Jotul?

    Just bought a 600 this year, it definitely has plates. Haven't heard of anyone cracking them, mine's new but I've talked to a few people that have them and theirs are all original. And no you can't go wrong with a jotul, I love mine.

    Loading a pickup

    Another vote for the trailer, like others have said not only can you get more per trip, but you can leave it loaded until you have time to get to it. Also, one thing to keep in mind, no matter how much you beef up the suspension, your real breaking point is the axle, if you snap that you're in...

    clothes dryer

    Oh man, that's why I'd never live anywhere with an association. I have heard of some people with reasonable ones, but most people I've talked to that live in places with those kinds of homeowners associations have nightmare stories to tell.

    oak

    Wow that is definitely a good score, what's that like 25-30 bucks a cord? Goes for 170/cord around me. Nice!!

    Dropped a 60" cottonwood today

    Oh man scary feeling isn't it? We did that in my dads 3/4 ton dodge once, loaded it full of gravel, the pit had a shovel on all you want for 10 bucks deal, and man did we get our moneys worth. Had to take it easy starting off on inclines. Raised the front tires only an inch or so on a big...

    If the front tires are touching you aren't loaded yet.. don't even need power steering with a good load of wood in the bed :)

    Am I the only one who likes to buy the most useless stuff just to make life easier?

    Hooking up a trailer by yourself can be a pain, if you want to go cheaper you could always grab these http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=95684

    Free Wood id?

    Thanks for the info!! I had a feeling there were a few different kinds of wood there, one huge one came down in the ice storm and most likely took out some smaller ones, all was on the ground scattered in pieces when I got there.

    Loaning dem tools out, specially the splitter...

    depends.. For me it depends on the person, it doesn't sound like this is the kind of guy you want to loan stuff out to. When I borrow something from someone it comes back as good or better than I got it. My neighbor lets me borrow stuff, he usually makes the offer, and I always make sure of...

    Free Wood id?

    Got some free wood today, anyone know what it is? Guy said he thought it was poplar.... May be two kinds of wood too since it was scattered all over. At least another cord there, but that's in a huge tree that's hanging, not touching that one.
