Where's WYK been, and what trouble is he making?

[wyk]

If you need to cut all those rails, hammer one like this up to fit your Iggesund bar.

I eventually made one!

 

[Samlock]

Good job, Wes. Now you should treat yourself with an extra pint for increasing the manor's productivity.

Been on the hunt for seasoned firewood on the hoof. Stuff like this laying about the estate everywhere. Dirty, but well seasoned.

 

[wyk]

Thank god I got a 281 on the way. This oak nearly killed the 044:

This poor Sycamore had ivy problems. So, I killed the ivy. It was 10" thick on the north side.



I also used the ported 241 to do some strategic spruce felling as well.

Ivy sucks!

 

[wyk]

It's terrible stuff, and those photos don;t do it justice. At times it's nearly like peeling an entire tree off of another tree. That sycamore is an hour solid of work. And I have hundreds of these to do, and have done. But that was quite thick having two huge twisted vines on it that went into a root. I am getting good at removing it without damaging bark now.

Pee on the fresh spruce stumps, Wes. Urea prevents it catching root rot, which easily spreads around the stand through u-ground connections.

Oh, Sammy. YOu needn't mention it - I piss on everything I touch... I like marking my stuff.

That's a lot of beer... You'll have to start drinking Miller so it don't have to stop and change colors... Just remember "its imported"

 

[wyk]

Had to free a couple of trees from the wall after the winds this week. Much more work than it looks like. I'm exhausted.

 

[Joe46]

Your 281 show up?

 

[wyk]

If I had the 281, that cut would have been much closer to the bottom

A bud is showing up tomorrow to buy some of the firewood I've made. He is bringing his stock 241. We'll see how it does vs my ported one. I may have a vid.

Still chugging along over here in Waterford. That line of poplars in the distance is the river Suir - on the other side of it is Tipperary.

 

[Samlock]

Tipperary doesn't look like being far away after all.

What's a WYK??
Just tryin' to learn.

I'VE MOVED HERE

 

[wyk]

Went to the immigration office the other day to register(and pay 300 euro to do so). Yes, that is a piece of paper taped to the door. A bit different from your local federal office stateside, I reckon.



Then we went and did some logging

Where is HERE?

GOnna try for a bench out of this ash:



Out estate straddles the border:



And the ivy on that SYcamore is already dying. We've had a VERY dry spring and winter here:
