Can't remember if I shared this yesterday. Did a bunch no stuff to the vw before it started raining yesterday morning. Cleaned up the vacuum lines/ got rid of half of them. Did a compression test with my snap on vs a harbor freight one. That's a story of its own, but let say the hf was accurate, even if it wad 410psi off.
I have meant to tear into the rear drivers door and figure out why the window wouldn't go up without assistance, but that got stopped with the rain starting.
Turned my focus to finishing up a few gifts I'm 3d printing. Got the gaskets printed for the ammo boxes I made for my dad amd brothers, then started the ornament for mom, (which should be finished soon) then I'll start the angel for grandma. Still have to think of something for my sister in laws, but tbh if I don't get them/make them anything it won't bother me too much lol.

Good day from New Brunswick, Canada gents.

Just wanted to introduce myself as I've been reading through this thread for a while and really enjoyed the discussion about all things outdoors with the occasional firewood score.

We don't heat our home with firewood, but I do scrounge some up where I can to heat my woodworking shop through the winter.

Here is my small scrounge from this morning. Some blown-down spruce on public land and a 4pt shed:View attachment 1136399

Wait... there's public land in New Brunswick? I though the Irving's owned it all? :)

Bits and pieces if you know where to look ;). That doesn't stop them from getting exclusive logging rights to those areas for pennies on the dollar to the government though. The icing on the cake being that they bank offshore in Bermuda to shirk the tax man.
 
I’ll just post this here . . .

I always get a kick out of it when I see something like this pop up on facebook. A fella could make himself a mint if he could tap into the interior decorator birch market.

You better get you some of that.... a guy don't see firewood at that price everyday... 🤣
 
My wife jokes about starting an etsy shop with stuff like that at half the next guys cheapest price. Not like it would take any time or effort, it's mostly stuff that would get bucked and chucked into the shed without splitting anyway.
Yep, I see people trying to sell ziploc bags of sawdust....
I could do that... 🤔 IMG_20230807_120748.jpgIMG_20230807_120713.jpgIMG_20231207_115715.jpg

A friend had 4 pin oaks cut down and needed rid of the wood. Me and a buddy gladly helped out, all it needed was split and hauled. We took two loads and the guy still has some left. Ought to be nice for 2025!
