Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[steved]

I'm one step closer to hauling firewood...this will hopefully keep the wife from throwing a stick through the back window.

Just need to sand, prime, and paint...

I've been focusing on my toy too much to worry about firewood...this light burning season kept my firewood reserves high.

What do you mean by “firewood season”? The burning season? Selling season? Can’t be cutting and processing season, that’s just starting.

? no season in end or season no end..??? gets me!

I fit in gathering, hauling, splitting, and stacking throughout the year too. We ”had” an early season at our mountain place, the snow was gone. Now we just got a foot of snow up there (photo file from webcam was too big too load). I tried. Now I’ll have to wait for that to melt.

I like to just screenshot the images on my computer, I can quickly crop it and I know where to grab the image off my desktop.
If you don't know how to do a "cut/crop screenshot on your computer just google it.
Here's a bucket I got with the girls help today, then we got it into the woodshed. The front middle and back row are done for 21-22 season, whatever is left after this season on the outside wall in the back will also be use that season.
I've been ahead on wood for many yrs, it sure is nice to have it under cover and ahead. Once I finish loading it up I plan on continuing to cut and split a lot more this yr.

When the family was out in the woods today I saw a nice black copter making a beeline for Lansing/ area, could have been heading to grand ledge.
I'm sure theres a lot going on right now we don't know about.

G'day scroungers, went out to Mitch's farm again this morning and he gave me a bit more of a guided tour around the place and pointed out plenty of good scrounge that I can get stuck into. How's this for a purty spot?



That's a big fat peppermint log, about 26 inches at the skinny end. I thought it was a blue gum until I started to cut it so it was a nice surprise. I lopped a few rounds off the smaller end with the 661. Some termite action but not much and mostly good wood.





Easy fiskaring.



And of course, there was a hitchhiker in there.



A little under a cube in the back of the Ranger, a great quick scrounge.



There are a number of other logs there for the taking too when I'm done with this one.

Well all three of my “regular” customers have ordered wood. 14 cords total for them plus I want to put up twelve for myself.

The good thing is one of them is only two miles by road from my land, just need to find a couple cords of hardwood there to cut for them. The other two both are ok with aspen so I can get that wherever.

You can see here that my truck has expanded metal in the headache rack. That’ll stop it.

Right lol.
When I was a kid I did it to my dad's truck, glad I got that out of the way lol. I've certainly messed up some equipment though.

Has anyone else started getting emails on this thread. I had it watched without email and started getting emails last week, I unsubscribed and then re-watched without again, I just started getting emails again .

That gluten-free epoxy is really the key . . .
