Work Done in 2019

[SpaceBus]

I found a roof leak in today's unexpected monsoon. Easily fixed with some sealant. The pipe for the rooftop solar water heater had some water coming in around it. I'll have to get on the roof and see what it looks like from the outside. The 1975 sliding glass doors are also leaking through the seals... It's been a pleasant day...

I have not done anything special so far. Hope for the upcoming year.

I think I found the source of your leak with the 1975 sliding door.

A moose tried getting in on some wood heat here?

I finished just as the sun set. Just three more to go! Honestly it was pretty easy to install since it came disassembled. Definitely not the nicest or prettiest doors, but these will last a few years while we save up for four Marvin Ultimate doors.

Yes, I was trying to adjust the fixed door to seal better and it exploded. The second pane is in the dumpster. It is somehow unbroken despite me throwing it over the top. Unbelievable.

Today started with me cleaning up my next stacking area, I took two loads of pine needles and bark back to a low spot on our trails, pictures 9736 & 37. I do have it ready for four face cord.

I then checked the trails for anything down from the winds we had, I did see this Maple up on the hill and I think it's a Sugar but would like another identification from another member. Pictures 9738,39 & 40 are the Maple. The more I look at the buds, I'm thinking it's a Red Maple.

I'm jealous of everyone using tractors and chainsaws.

Got a small adventure in today after school...and hit the JACKPOT. Pop quiz...who can identify this wood?!

 

[MMH]

The answer to today’s pop quiz is... mountain mahogany. Continue on with all the hard work

Yesterday I cleaned up the stacking area that was open and got it ready for the first four face cord, today I stacked two face cord. The types of firewood in this stack are, Ash,Beech, Sugar and Soft Maple.

I did make a run to get some rounds in the woods so I could split them and finish this stack.

 

[Diabel]

Is this cherry?

 

[SpaceBus]

Number two went in today! The other two will go in as we make our way around the house doing cedar shingles.

Got our flat plate heat exchanger mounted today, now just need to install the water to air HX.

Yes it is, nice looking rounds.

Dang Woodlands, you're putting us all to shame! That's a lot of firewood, just curious how long you think that will last?

No pics however I was able to get the shed filled this week with the seasoned splits (about 7-1/2 cords). Now it's time to start CSS all the bucked rounds I've been collecting since the snow melted, which is somewhere between 4-5 cord. Will be well shy of the 20 cord I wanted to have done before the snow files but I'll be much farther ahead than I was last fall.

Keep it off the ground it will last for years. You really can't have to much firewood can you?

True, and no, you can never have too much firewood. But with all the effort he is putting into his woodlot this year and the amount of firewood he has stacked already, if this is a yearly occurrence then that is going through a lot of firewood!

The majority of the wood I stacked today was c/s last fall and stacked in the woods. I think the least amount of hardwood we've burned was 12 face cord in a winter and the most was 15 so I'm hoping by the time I finish stacking, we'll have 6 years of hardwood stacked.

I have a date with a hill and a bunch of Ash coming up so I'm hoping that I get another 2 face of hardwood stacked by Nov.

It's not a yearly occurrence, because of EAB in our county I'm getting the ash before the bug does, We also had two stacking areas open that usually never happens but last year we cleared a bunch of pine for our new garage so I didn't cut much hardwood.

All our firewood except for the pine last year and the ash this year are from topped off trees, dead trees or trees that come down in wind events so we can either burn them or they can rot in the woods.

We also heat from the basement which takes more wood but when we had the house built, the wife wanted a propane fireplace which is nice and warms up the place fast when needed.

Today after I did a few things around the house, I then decided to get this downed maple which I brought home so I can split and stack it.

There's more on the hill that I'll get next week.

Looks like it's still in good shape, nice grab.

I think the next part of the tree that's down will have some punk in it but I'm hoping the whole round isn't punky.

It looks like we have a wind advisory on for our area with over an inch of rain starting tomorrow.

Water to air HX is in!
