Beautiful day here, too.
And 2 more in at dusk - light enough not to need my headlamp, but dark enough i needed the flash for the 2nd pic.
Well, Steve was right. Had the house on the generator for about 4 hours, before I shut it down at bed time. Power came back on sometime over night. Got all the shingles off the roof today, went and got 8 sheets of 7/16 osb. Good lord. Left with the sheeting box of screws and few tubes of flashing cement to the tune of $579.00. Almost fell over. Get up early tomorrow and get the soft spots patched up, slam some felt down and get the tin on. Calling for rain Monday, and I sure as heck don't want to deal with that on a naked roof. On another note, I seem to have a surplus of shingles now that I went with metal roofing. Still need to keep a few square for the patio roof, but likely sell off the rest.
Ugg, off to shower and bed. Get at it early tomorrow.

I heard we hit 79 degrees yesterday which for up here had to be a (near) record. Didn’t get too much done but that’s ok. Looking to be another nice day here.
On my way over now!
Not
.The wife and kids just ran down your way last week, since I picked up this job and the weather was great for cutting I stuck around.
Just fixed a 28" chain I have on my ported 372xt(hit a rock), it took a while. Also I did a 20" EXL, which is hard as heck on the ported ms261, just a touch up though. I need to put more new files in the excursion
.Hope you're doing well.
Nice "hauls".
When will you shut the boiler down.
Ha! I have shut it down about three times now, even put the chimney cap on one time. It's not running now but I expect it might later this week with cool and wet forecast.
Something in the recoil of my 154 broke. Not sure if it’s the little gear that grabs the pawls or what. So I put the new oiler in this Poulan I got a while back from Brett. Knock on wood that solves the oiling issue.
A little too hot to do real work that doesn't need to be done today. Instead, I started making a stool out of firewood so I can sit for a spell.

Me too. Chainsaw carved? I think we need a tutorial!
Mostly chainsaw, finished it with a chisel. If I was better with the saw and bothered to sharpen the chain right proper before I started I probably could have just about finished it with the saw. It's a bit rough, even for my rustic standards so I'll hit it with the orbital sander to smooth it out some, at least enough to minimize the splinters every time I sit down.
If I gave a tutorial, someone would have to teach me first! I'm sure there are a lot better guys than me already on YouTube with everything you ever wanted to see about chainsaw artistry. But nobody told me I couldn't do it, so I gave it a shot just to see if I could. I have a few other things I want to try, too.
Boy that’s fancy. Mine have straight legs.
Lake at the cabin was as smooth as glass this morning. Got choppy later on. Was another warm one, had to be close to what it was yesterday.
Was supposed to take down a little Chinese Chestnut, over my friends garage tomorrow. He just sent a message it’s supposed to rain all day. I got a set of Gorrilla Ramp Assist springs for my trailer today, think I’ll put them on and see how they work. That 5’ drive on ramp is close to 200 pounds. I’ve been worried I’d give my hernia a hernia. I’ll post pics tomorrow.
Had a guy stop Saturday for some wood. He had a home made lift assist. Vinyl covered clothes line wire, and some garage door springs inside a piece of plastic conduit. He lifted his ramp with 1 hand. Said he saw how to make it on YouTube.
Another load of ash yesterday. That makes 3 in a week from this guy.
