-11 here.....Woodstove ice cold......furnace running, baseboard pipes and other pipes in the basement keeping warm

 

[firefighterjake]

When the weather is this cold I routinely run the three zones on the oil boiler a couple times a day to flow some heated water through the pipes.

Anybody get some easy wood after last nights insane thunderstorms?

Yeah, but I was forced to since a tree fell across my driveway. 6am woodcutting is not my favorite.

I'm sure your neighbors love you now

OUCH

Waiting on the Insurance Adjuster Monday morning. Gonna see if he'll help me out on the deductible, or work some kind of deal if I remove the tree, and the debris. Luckily enough, there was no high dollar equipment in there, but I'm sure once it's tallied up, it's gonna be a hefty bill.

Either way, looks like Rick needs a new hideout -

I just saw this. It's five minutes from my house, but I am at work and don't have a truck! If anyone wants to team up on it after work, I am more than willing to help!

"just took down 11 trees. All black birch and oak. Take some or take it all. Bring a truck and chainsaw. I will help but several logs are still pretty heavy so any extra help would be good. I am home all day. "

To those using a moisture meter, is there a percentage you are looking at now, that should be burn able next year? For instance, have some Sugar Maple that a fresh split was 23-24 percent. Likelihood that will be low enough for next winter?

 

[Dmitry]

It's almost ready now. I'd burn it now if nothing else to burn.

 

[MJSully]

I have plenty to burn, for now, spitting some stuff for next year and stacking in a pretty well ventilated shed. Just want to make sure I'm not miss-using my shed space, if this stuff should be left outside for a year

 

[rygar]

Anyone in the Orange area need a scrounge?

Tip of the day ! The war on trees continues, there are trees down on Rt 177 ( Lovely Street ) in Avon CT. This is on the section of road between Unionville and Canton,most of the cutting is closer to Rt 202.
