I learned a long time ago that those Mainers "git 'er done" by their own schedule. No amount of ribbing, brow beating
or downright flogging will change that.

That's what makes it great. I'd like to have a couple hundred acres up there in the north west corner.

Ya... It's nice up there... But I got my eye toward the U.P. of MI...
Soon my friend...
Soon...

Best of luck. That's beautiful country. I live in IL, so anywhere would probably be better than here.
Well, except California (erecting flame guard). I don't mind the northern winters, having lived several
years in "lake effect" country.

Young Shane has not yet experienced the thrill of opening a heating bill with his name on it. I find that works wonders for wood cutting productivity.
He's probably waiting for the dealer to finish sharpening his chains and maul

Shane, it looks like you're the down-range officer today. Keep your head low.

Just started using pallets this year, but I made sure to use old bricks/busted concrete/pressure treated scraps under them. Plus, it gets the wood a little higher up, maybe a few extra inches off the ground will improve air flow some. Make it easier to spray or string trim around them as well.

JEEZ! Don't let my wife see that. The neighbor down the street found a young copperhead sliding down the hallway of her first floor. I told her the snake was feeding off of the rodents that raid another neighbors corn and bean garden. I wouldn't want her to think snakes have anything to do with wood or she'll set fire to all six cords in my backyard screaming "Burn Witch".
I ain't emptying the wood shed just to pour concrete. Besides, they'd probably just raise my property
taxes again.

I had to pour my barn 1 bay at a time for exact same reason... There was always wood somewhere in it...
:msp_wink:
Can't help ya on the taxes... You'll have to move...
Can't do that since my woodshed is just that. 13 x 13 with one door.
Yea, the taxes are starting to suck. Property value drops 20%, property taxes go up 20%. Must be that new math.
Per a previous discussion, I am giving serious thought regarding that last statement.

Actucally..we do have several quite large big king snakes I think they are live around the house/greenhouse/woodpiles/clukeraptor containment compound. I like 'em.
I saw one once back up in the mountains here that would have been a world record most likely. I almost hit it on the road. Single lane dirt road but not a jeep rut road, a bonafide road I lived on it, had mailboxes, etc, some houses every so often), that wide. The snake was on both sides of the road crossing it. I thought it was a downed tree limb and slowed down/stopped to clear it and it was moving! Biggest snake I ever saw outside of a zoo. Not as thick as a big like boa or anaconda but dang long. Saw another one similar large (not quite as big but still big, same area, at our house) climbing a tree and it had six to seven feet of body up in the tree and a few feet on the ground. Amazing climbers.
I wouldn't mind a King Snake myself. Good at getting rid of rodents and they eat other venomous snakes. I have never seen one in my area. Only Black Snakes and Copperheads.

I hate snakes...:msp_angry:
But if there's one that gets a pardon from the death penalty, it's the black snake...
If ya got a big black snake in the barn, you don't have anything else!!
Copperheads are a vile creature with a miserable disposition...

When I was a kid, I went into Grandma's unlit garage to grab a rake off of the tool hanger apparatus... BIG SURPRISE! Black snake wrapped around another tool handle. I'll stop to chase one off of the road to save it from getting squashed, but I don't really like to get up close & personal w/ them.
