Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[woodchuckcanuck]

My 2 cents, I don't care who's #1 in sales. It will only ever be Duramax/Allison in this driveway.

I realize this is a car/truck thread but......

Here's a few pics of some wood related stuff...
Yesterday and this morning we sawed up a few oaks for siding on our pig barn...



1x10 and 2x8 boards with 2" batts.



Found iron, but for once I saw it before I sawed it.....


Cut the can't back a few feet to get rid of it....





A couple nails and a staple.


Wheelbarrow and chainsaws.....because arboristsite.....


The siding applied to the barn.....

Dieselworks has the same thought, the more chevy diesels he has parked in his lot the more money he makes to send his kids to collage.

Red Oak siding? I'm guessing you're not worried about rot and just replace it what, every 4 o 5 years?

Oak holds up very well around here, but I'm not concerned about rot since it's just a hog barn.

I was going to say that looked like fun, except for the nut cracker ending.

His voice is a few notes higher too.

I offered Gunny free wood (back in the woods) to drag out, split and take home. Only 3 hrs away.
Never heard back.

All good!

I prefer Michelob Golden Light but most pilsners and lagers are good by me. No thanks to IPA...one should not have to pay extra for bitter beer lol.

Not all IPA's are bitter. But I like Coors Light.

One of The reasons Fords are the #1 sellers is corporate accounts .Ford basically sells them at a loss to big fleet operators they have done this since the 70s . Chrysler used to do the same with the Dodge Diplomats for municipalities. I drove them for several years on the PD. What junk but they were cheap, the village changed to Chevy Caprice in 1987 they were more money but were in the shop at about 10% of the time the Dodges were .

I have nothing against Ford I’ve owned a few .

I remember the year my past neighbor, a doctor, bought a Ford Expedition. Ford had sent out a special sales promotion of $10,000 off for doctors on a new Expedition. What a gas hog pig that turned out to be.

The weather was kind enough today to let me pretty much finish the painting on the splitter project. I just need some hydraulic fluid, a filter, a larger return line, and I should be in business.

I'm not showing the oil tank yet, because I'm still waiting on a special decal I ordered. If any of you like cheap beer and childish humor, you'll appreciate it lol.


Also, did some maintenance on one of the motos. Regressed some suspension bearings, new wheel bearings, and a fairly agro new rear tire. I also machined some new wheel spacers for the back wheel.

Most of the barns here in Michigan where I'm at are oak. Still original 100 yr old siding. When they eventually fall down it makes great firewood for the owb the farmers say

 

[lone wolf]

Star-tron is a very good stabilizer , prevents phase separation very well during long term storage !

Have you proven this out your self and seen results? How long will it keep gas good?

I'm curious as well, I have kept rec 90 for 18-24 months with good results using 5oz of sea foam per 5 gal. Once it gets close to the 24 mo mark it goes in the old farm tractor.

My guess the Oak you're talking about is White Oak. Could be wrong.

 

[Brufab]

Very well could be. Most oaks here are red but that's now. Not sure what was available 100+, years ago. Michigan was essentially clear cut during the heyday of logging and making farm land.

He's getting close. Look's like less than 30 pages out.
