She doesn’t get it….yet. She’s still in the phase of why do we need wood to keep our house warm when we have a gas boilerNever enough firewood until the boss says no!
Set the thermostat on the gas boiler to 58 and see what she says. The 72 degrees of wood heat ought to change her mind mine loves the wood heat even helps me stack wood when processing.She doesn’t get it….yet.

You must have missed my stupid long thread about the stove and my wife that I had going about 6+ months ago.Set the thermostat on the gas boiler to 58 and see what she says. The 72 degrees of wood heat ought to change her mind mine loves the wood heat even helps me stack wood when processing.
I can't like that, it left you with plenty of work, stay safe.So Mother Nature, after sending enough rain to cause a basement seep requiring me to open a wall in the rec room at home adding to my remodeling requirements, decided that I needed to run a chainsaw for awhile by sending a tornado through the Northwoods property last night where we just built and will be moving to fairly shortly... So flying trip up this morning for a couple of days.

Luckily there was no damage to the buildings, but lots of tree's down and hung up. It appears that it literally went right over both buildings high enough to miss them but low enough to take a butt load of tree's down. The neighbor actually saw it sway his tree's in circles, knock them down across his driveway, miss his house, then drop down to the ground a couple hundred feet behind his house and level everything.
Nick, looks like you are going to be busy. Happy to hear there was no damage other than the trees. Keep an eye out for the high hangers. I have a section of woods I won't go into right now there is so much loose stuff just laying in top of the canopy.So Mother Nature, after sending enough rain to cause a basement seep requiring me to open a wall in the rec room at home adding to my remodeling requirements, decided that I needed to run a chainsaw for awhile by sending a tornado through the Northwoods property last night where we just built and will be moving to fairly shortly...

Lots of leaners and hangers. Most are in the woods and will be left for a while to see if Mother Nature takes care of them. There's one I have to get that's over the trail, but I have a plan that requires a helper.Nick, looks like you are going to be busy. Happy to hear there was no damage other than the trees.

It's supposed to rain tomorrow so Monday I have a snapped oak laying in a pine that it shoved over into other trees. It's down the drive where I have a burn pile ready to go. Perfect time to light the pile and then toss the brush on from the trees.
Yes, not having colder winters doesn't help us when it comes to ticks. So far this spring/summer, I've only taken two off my clothes with a lint roller but since I sprayed my working gear with permethrin, I haven't taken any off with the lint roller. I haven't been cutting much this summer but have been outside enough that I usually would take more off.Thewoodlands, the ticks have been bad this year. Not having cold winters lately do not help. Our rightaways at work seem to be crawling with them. Some guys seem to attract more than others but it is easy to find a few on them on you from just being out in the woods or long grass. I spray myself down all the time and still find the occasional one here or there.
The fireflies are in the backyard putting on a show tonight.The deer flys are bad this year, It has not been a bad summer here so far, hot but we are a little low on rain even though we did get some today. I have been moving a lot of wood up to my main stacking area by the house to make some room for the piles of logs I need to cut and split. It has been a busy summer with the girls in camp, sports etc.
