Almost like that unquenchable thirst.
I remember when we finally had three years worth of firewood (based on 12 face cord of hardwood per year) in the inventory, I thought that "wood" make me stop but nope.
For 250 bucks even if you put some money into it, that's a great deal.
With a full time job, I only get the weekends to do any firewood processing. Here of late it’s rained at least one weekend day for the past few months. This past weekend I was lucky enough to finally finish splitting and stacking g this load of Ash. Came to about 1 1/2 cords.
My biggest dilemma is that I can’t store anymore without pissing off my wife lol she doesn’t want our backyard “filled” with wood. It is not, by no means. I could easily fit a few more cords or even a little more and still have to a ton of room for the kids to play and what notI remember when we finally had three years worth of firewood (based on 12 face cord of hardwood per year) in the inventory, I thought that "wood" make me stop but nope.
And then because we had a bunch of dead pine, I talked the wife into burning softwood, that started out at 6 face cord per year but the bugs keep killing the pines along with some clearing we did for a new garage in 2018 so we upped that to 12 face cord per year....it never ends.
I could use a garden structure like that, looks great. So many times I'd wait to pick a tomato only to find the next day a bite was taken out of it. Last year I made a small enclosure with chicken wire and more tighter fencing on the bottom that was successful. Last weekend I expanded it a bit and got plants in the ground. Wanted to get that done before this weekend.
Great photos. But at least you have a wagon, wish my daily driver was that or an SUV for times when you may see some wood for the taking on a drive on the side of the road. I always liked VW wagons, not sure if that's a Sportwagen.
1997 ford f150. Gutless 4.6 engine and a 5 speed manual but it gets the job done put a lot of miles on that truck.
Yep, it's the Sportwagon (or -wagen); love it. The volume is real good (almost 70 cubic feet with rear seats folded, a Tesla Model Y is only slightly larger), but without harder rear springs the car sits really low, as I learned when leaving the Crystal Lake camping area...
Dude, I would love to have a truck like that! A full size with a manual transmission! The fact that it's a 1997 says a lot too. Seems like many on here have older trucks, Even if I won the lottery I don't think I could bring myself to load rounds or throw split wood into the back of a $60k truck.
Yes, a diesel with a manual would be great. I was such a manual transmission I had a full size van, Ford Club Wagon with a 4 speed manual on the floor with the 300 cid 6.. With the back seats out the capacity was huge, would have been good for firewood.
I think most have at least a setting to prefer lower gears, but I don't know whether all can be forced to stay in lower gear. I think torque converter overheating is also a thing, at least I have read warnings against it when towing automatics with torque converter (the old type of automatic, not the dual clutch sequential gearbox formula 1 kind).
