Massachusetts MA doesn’t even legally recognize the term “ cord” as a unit of measure, but requires firewood sellers to work in 128 cubic foot lots when advertising. https://www.mass.gov/info-details/firewood-sales

Solid advice! Oil change and new hydraulic filters are on top of my “to do” list now. Thank you.

I think he was happy with the money he made. He worked hard for it. In fairness, I helped him a couple times so he had a little bit of a tail wind. This was intended to be a fill in source of income over the summer break In addition to his summer job. I don’t think it has long lasting...

Since my son is back at college I thought I would share what we learned from his wood splitting side jobs this summer. We ended up splitting just a little under twenty cords of wood ( not face cords) Estimating how long a job will take is tougher than you think Some wood on the...

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. This is a lot tougher than I thought going into it. At first it seemed like using my equipment & tools for smaller jobs he could make some decent summer cash on the side. We’re going to float an ad on a local Facebook page and see what comes back. I’ll...

My son is home on summer break from college and is looking to make some extra money to fill in around what his summer job generates. I own a log splitter and a couple saws. We heat our home primarily with wood so we understand what goes into it. He is offering to come to your house with his...

Please don’t burn it with the vines still on. The smoke will carry it and if it gets into your or your families lungs it’s going to get really bad for all.

Nothing good comes from loaning equipment. If something goes wrong, things can get really complicated, really quickly between you and your neighbor

Yikes! So much downside on this one. At the beginning everything sounds great, but you are stepping on a slippery slope. Without getting too far into bad scenarios that could play out, "free" can end up being very expensive in a lot of ways. Like Lone Wolf said above, just pay your own rent...

100% agree with Zogger! Hands off that generator. It's like selling your lifeboat on a ship because you don't use it much.... Very bad idea.

The baffle plate on my little Jotul stove developed quiet a dip in it after five years of very steady use. I put 5-6 cords thru it each season so after 25 or 30 cords I don't have any complaints. The old plate had a crack forming on the front edge so I thought it was cheap insurance to replace...

11 is too young to run a chainsaw in my opinion. My son is the same age and after a few minutes helping me with our splitter his attention wanders. I have him just run the lever on our splitter and watch what's going on, but I have to treat it like he's trying to catch me with my hands where...

Agree with Uncle John 100%. The live oak the OP is talking about is not just a red or white oak that was cut down while it was alive. Live Oak is a nightmare to split. Picture a gnarly hickory with a bad attitude, now weave in some wire fencing and some hardware and you're officially halfway...

If you stay with that video all he way to the credits it says that" it will stop traffic." My wife was watching it over my shoulder and said yeah, you have to pull over when an ambulance is coming.

Rep sent seems to come up a little short this time.... Just saying.

And kept all those gas tanks filled.

If you are planning on using it to burn this coming winter that wood in the middle won't be ready. No air flow and completely boxed in is no way to dry anything. Just my 2cents, but you asked.

A hay hook's tip is just a sharp point. A pulp hooks tip looks more like the profile of a straight bladed screwdriver with a little "tooth" on it. Sounds like a tiny difference but the that tip is where the "magic happens." I use one from Labonville and when I dont have it with me it's like...

Junipers sound perfect and they can be sort of unpleasant to push your way thru which makes them sound even better for what I need. Many thanks and rep sent your way.

All good points. Sorry I wasn't more specific. The strip between my yard and the parking lot at its narrowest point is probably 50' wide then it gets wider like a pie slice. There is a mix of self seeded brush and briars there now with some mature oaks ansd smaller silver maple. I like the...
