Sounds like a nice setup. On a somewhat related note; I read that some areas of the south are setting up firewood banks, like a food bank, to help folks get through the winter. Sign of the times, I suppose. You're a rich man, Wayno. Even if it doesn't always feel that way. If I were rich I would no...

Much appreciated, but I'm probably looking for something larger. Shop is 36x48 with 13 foot walls and open trusses. I'm looking for something medium sized for my unfinished basement. I'd put it about 10 feet from my basement stairs to help heat the main level. Electric heat sucks. I understand, mos...

I've heard throwing a wet blanket in your stove puts out chimney fires. Creates an instant steam bomb. Hope I never have to find out. I'm still looking for wood stoves for my shop and basement. I have an older free standing Orley wood stove(old round type with glass front) you could have, but I mod...

I got the last of the wood today, I forgot to take photos of the load, it was only 8 pieces, but them 8 pieces filled the truck bed, 5 pieces were between 30" and 32" round and they were heavy, 3 pieces very close to 30", my chainsaw had a sharp chain and I only had to make 5 cuts, 3 were already cu...

Chimney fire...Thats axtually super scary. I hate to admit it , but i only clean ours out 2x a season. The cap usually gets cleaned 3x a season. I actually bought axlong multiple extension chineny s w e e p off amazon for $60 to clean majority of mine from the bottom , then when in on the roof i ca...

I used my chainsaws today, the chains were not sharp on either of them, so once the 24" ran out of fuel I used the 32" until it ran out of fuel, then I put the brand new chain on it and it went thru a 32" log almost like butter, its not a race chainsaw but one has dreams when a new chain is installe...

Here is my Husqvarna 266 W, the first photo is of the broken rubber parts in front of the handle/tank. https://i.postimg.cc/HLq4ZND0/DSC01164.jpg This is a close up of the new and old rubber parts. https://i.postimg.cc/2ymdmB5V/DSC01165.jpg And this is of the handle/tank with the new rubber parts in...

I completely understand having multiples of tools. I have 3 wheelbarrows, 2 push mowers, 2 weedeaters (I think y’all call them weed wackers up there), and so forth. From my experience, you only need one. Until it breaks when you’re in the middle of doing something. And as you probably know, Husqvar...

I have to have 2 chainsaws with me at all times to cut my chainsaw out of a pinch situation, I have had cut one out more than once, recently when I see a possible pinch situation(I have no control where/how the log is resting on the ground) I cut halfway through the log and then stick my splitting m...

I normally burn 4 to 5 cords, last winter it was likely closer to 6 cord as I started burning earlier and burned later, this year I made it more than halfway thru October before I started burning. Last night I went out into the garage and it smelt like smoke, I went into the attic and could see smok...

I have not posted much lately, I hauled another couple loads of wood, I had to remove the tractor from its parking spot and put the wood in there, I have just about cut and hauled away everything he said I could have, I have a load or two left and it is all gone. https://i.postimg.cc/qvZPfg9D/DSC011...

Here is todays load, basically it was 12 large/heavy rounds and a few smaller pieces to fill in the holes between them to make the load look level. https://i.postimg.cc/rySF9FZr/DSC01155.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/fTCz6qNW/DSC01156.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/vHb82FCS/DSC01157.jpg I suspect half the larg...

20 !? That would be conservatively $6,000 cut and delivered in my area He says he has 20 cord in the barn, looking at the barn I am kinda worried that if he burns it all the barn will implode, the fire wood might be holding the barn up/in shape, I should take some photos. That is a lot of money tha...

Firewood is hard work. But worth it. It is hard work, but the way I look at it it keeps my body moving, sitting around for 3 months makes it hard to get my body moving in March, I will likely be cutting, loading, unloading, and stacking 3 or 4 more cords, some will need to be split so I can stack i...

I am getting free firewood from my cousin, all I have to do is cut it and load it, he has more firewood than he can burn(20 cord stored) in a reasonable amount of time(according to him), most of it is 2 maybe 3 years old that was dragged into a spot he has for it, he also has several rather large fi...

Impressed, nonetheless. You have to remember that I built the 521 work truck to tow and haul weight back before any of the Datsun forums I am or have been a member of existed(2003), Mike Klotz even came to my house to see how I did my disc brakes on it, I think he might have been making disc brake ...

What would you guess that load weighs? More than the axle is rated for. :lol: It likely is between one and 2 tons, the brakes worked fine although it takes longer to stop, the load 2 days before weighed more but I cannot find the photo I took of it. I hate Microsoft updates, they screw up my photo ...

Thanks guys, it is getting better as time goes by. I think I am going to put the other observing pad in the grass/weeds and leave the garden a garden this winter, I cannot observe any more of the sky than the other observing spot anyway, but if from the grass/weeds I can see SW and some W/SW, the sp...

I have not been posting a lot lately, I ripped out the cucumber, tomato plants(6 plants), lettuce, and pea plants over the last few days, brought in 2 yards of Compost, spread it out and then rototilled it in, I even removed the observing pad in the western garden area closest to the house, I am thi...

This is a motorcycle engine, correct?
