Got started today. I went to the lot just to check it out and walk around, get familiar with the lot, access etc..... but brought the saws and stuff with me just in case I felt like starting to cut. I just received the official permit in the mail yesterday afternoon.
I cut for a bit, and quickly remembered how much work it is to be hunched over and dragging wood around. i haven't cut my own wood for a couple years now and before that it was only here and there. The J-Red 2171 RIPS though! I've very happy with it. Brought the little Stihl 021 along too and was happy I did for cleaning up the tops to pile up neat brush piles. The 021 weighs about 5lbs less.... so it was a nice break until I get used to cutting again.
By the way.... that F-250 is new to me and I was disapointed I wore out before the truck even started to squat from weight. My last F-150 was on the bump stops with that type of load..... it was really pathetic! I think this will be a great firewood hauler!
Sorry for the bad cell pics, next time I'll try to remember a real camera!
Classic, take the boundary marker! Then you can just cut to the next marker.
I would have to say, we really do have a bit of everything here in CT.
Free wood, is good wood.
