Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Huskybill]

When I was putting wood in the woodshed last week there were some pieces of red oak, it reminded me one of the reasons I like black locust so much .
I'd pay for it if the deal was right, getting wood is a lot of work.

A lot of hard work? Trying to cut 50 cords to replace the 50+ cords I sold each year. I cut a mix of hardwoods, white oak, red oak, hickory, birch, maples, choke cherry, ect.

Yes, a lot of hard work.

That may help, but that's not how chainsaw chaps work; rather they are designed to pull fibers which will stop a chainsaw at the crank.
Here you go .

Well boys, I’m a free man.

Celebrated a bit last night.

Squeezed out another load of oak. Should be at least another load depending on how many projects I make out of what is left.

Also split and stacked a few misshapen rounds that have been sitting near the stacks for a while and piled the unsplittables chunks in my overnight burn stack. Still have a fairly large pile of pine/spruce rounds to deal with.

Doing lots of cookie cutting, where's the videos.
Saw this down your way last night, figured one of us should grab it to spice things up in here a bit .

Videos? Like a lot of stuff... that's really not my thing.

You found an enclosed wheelbarrow? Now that I could be interested in for doing firewood in the rain! LOL

 

[H-Ranch]

Box elder, ugh. There are even woods that I don't like. Basically I got this a while ago just to get some of the blood red rounds for project wood.

Then picked up a couple of smaller pine rounds to move to the pine stack.
It's a warm one today fellas. Make sure you're staying hydrated if you're working outside.

An inclosed wheelbarrow .
We saw a nice concrete hauler on tracks today coming home, the boy says, look dad a powered wheelbarrow. Whenever the boy asks me what I want him to make out of ken'x, I always say a powered wheelbarrow lol.
Just snagged this up today, an enclosed tent, I'm gonna try and get it un-sticky .
Is this what you were thinking I could put at your place.

Oh yeah, that's nice. That will really class up the Sanford and Son motif I have going on at my place.

You saying I'd be the son.

Well I am old and curmudgeonly and set in my ways... you know, like Fred. But I have been called a big dummy too. So I could play either part.

How well can you swing a purse?

If I still had the Montana SV6 ...
Be close to a cord Lol

My mom and dads neighbor had a huge willow oak cut down in her backyard. The company asked if they could put the crane in my folks backyard. Dad said yes if he could have some of the wood. I was working and wasn't there.
My brother and I will cut and split it soon. I told my dad he should have got the limbs too, but the neighbor wanted them for mulch. When I came and saw the logs I told dad like the quote from Jaws " we're gonna need a bigger saw" lol. I'm sure my MS291 20" can cut them logs and my brother has a MS362.
