    ever done this when buying a saw?

    Got two credit cards and a check card. Almost never carry the credit cards and never carry a balance on them. About the only time I use my check card is when I need to get gas after the station is closed or for online purchases. Otherwise its all cash. When dealing with a small service...

    looking to buy a saw?

    I am a husky guy but in your shoes with only stihl having dealer support in your area I would go with them. For what saw you should pick that depends if you only want one saw or if you are going to look at getting one now and another in the future. For a two saw setup I would look at the 260...

    New house - thinking about heating with wood - need help

    Indoor wood boiler with storage. Light it in the morning and run it wide open till it dies out, do the same in the afternoon. Might have to burn a little more or a little less depending on sq footage and insulation. Almost no smoke because you don't have to damper down as you are just...

    Should have listened.

    This just gets better. Just found out that regardless of weather or not his insurance would have covered it, he wont be getting any payment from the insurance company because he let his policy lapse. This guy makes double the average income in the area plus his wife works and still cannot...

    Should have listened.

    Got a call from my moms boyfriend last night his oldest son burnt down the shed that his wood furnace is in. The shed was about ten feet from the house and managed to burn off a bunch of the siding when it went up. When he put it in last January instead of buying the insulated stove pipe...

    Poor Hippies

    Nice people. http://www.mega.nu/ampp/efdm/efdm.html Several snowmobiles were hurt up here a few years back and one killed (A 15 year old girl). Commonly believed to be members of earth first or a sister group Earth Liberation Front that set the traps. Another article on them...

    Broke into the "Midwinter Stash"

    Well I sold all my good wood yet again this year so when I am burning wood its popple, pine, or willow. Right now though I am burning coal. I got 200 a cord csd for my oak, and bought my coal at 110 a ton delivered (a ton seems to last just a bit longer than a cord of oak). Load the stove up...

    Clayton wood furnace

    Might want to contact Clayton directly. I have a 1600 g (the g denotes that it is green in color) that was built and installed last year. Other than a slight difference in the blower motor, different handles and the fact that mine is green not white I see no outward difference in the appearance...

    Neighbor trouble

    There is something to be said about living out in the sticks on a farm. I get along with most of my neighbors now, even the really religious one. He doesn't preach to me and I don't preach to him. Had one a half mile down right across from one of my fields that was a real prick. So I waited...

    coworker keeps telling me to burn coal

    If I knew of a place that I could get it localy I would burn it, at least for the overnight burns and when I am at work. I have plenty of poplar on my farm but if I want hard wood it is about a 40 mile round trip, plus the time to cut, split, and load; or I have to buy and process it at 75 to...

    A bad day with large crane, larger wood, and a house.

    Crane operator will be found at fault. It is the operators responsibility to know the weight of the load and capability's of the crane. Others may share some of the blame but OSHA will plop most of it down on the operator and as a result the company that he works for.

    Good Pair of Boots

    Check out you local boot store. Not athleats foot or the like but one of the real ones. They should be able to resole them for you or at least point you in the right direction. I am on the third set of soles in my Carolina work boots. Just to darn comfy to throw away. Carolina boots can...

    Post a helpful hint to help teach others

    When out cutting always let someone know where you are going, when you are going, and when you plan to be back. PPE is NOT optional. Wear it. Dont pee on an electric fence or into the wind for that matter. If you are prescribed an EpiPen make sure you have the darn thing with. (I didn't...

    Messy Woodpile / Bad Neighbor II

    The OP kinda reminds me of of the people that buy a house next to an airport or train tracks and then complain about the noise. Glad you are in new york and not Wisconsin. Dont want to see other peoples junk. Move to a subdivision with covenants that prevent that kind of stuff or buy a...
