Work Done in 2019

[Kevin Weis]

Got to process about a 1/4 cord of Elm and Choke Cherry today. Hopefully another 1/4 cord tomorrow. Snow finally got off the ground and frost is out of it as well now so not terribly as muddy.

Tree in my daughters back yard. Dinging a lot of chains on metal. Worked today and tomorrow, hope to get it split and hauled home Monday.

We still have a chit load of ice under the snow so I'll wait until the traction gets better before going after some ash trees. We did have a wood rack inside opening up so we put some wood in today.

 

[Kevin Weis]

8" snow today with maybe 1/4" ice on that tonite. Rain tomorrow. 65 on Sunday. Hopefully all that mess gone by next week. Took that week off to finish firewood for the season. We'll see if that works out.

Slow = good day for everyone involved.

Slow = good day for everyone involved.

Amen

Those days don’t come too often anymore.

 

[thewoodlands]

With some ice and then some rain coming in starting tomorrow night, we'll put more wood in tomorrow.

 

[EPS]

I'm hoping to get at a huge downed maple over the next few days. Get it ready for this time next year.

 

[thewoodlands]

We put two loads of what I'll call our regular wood in (one pictured) and some ironwood in for some overnight burns.

 

[thewoodlands]

Since we're suppose to lose power and possibly have some tree damaged, I have two saws ready and the genny is all set.

We had an outage of about an hour this morning. I also had to remove a 32” ash tree from the road by my house earlier. What ever happened to taking care of yourselves. I was sitting with my county radio on scam and everyone was calling it in and no one just took care of it. People are screwed ifbthe day comes they have to take care of themselves.

Some figure they pay county,village or state taxes so why should they help. Our town crew is very good at keeping the roads open during a windstorm but people also get out and they help out if it's safe (no power lines down) I'm hoping we don't have that much damage but I see Buffalo is getting hit hard today which means it either starts tonight or tomorrow for us.

Had another tree two miles from me take out the power lines and we were in the dark about 4 hours tonight. I’m hoping to find some firewood tomorrow.

Our higher winds started about 3 this morning but nothing like Buffalo NY received, so far our powers still on. According to the Weather Channel this morning we have another high wind event with snow coming in for our area on Sunday, I'm sure the forecast will change a few times by Sunday.

Good luck on getting more wood.

 

[thewoodlands]

I guess it's time I take the rhino back towards the ash that are in my first post, the sun doesn't get in that area much but I would like to get a path packed down with either the rhino or tractor so I can start on three of the ash.

 

[thewoodlands]

Today would've been a good day to clear the snow into the area the ash is in but I promised the wife that I would cook this dish so we can have it over pasta tonight.

This afternoon we put in two loads of firewood, most of it was cherry.

 

[Medic21]

Spring cleanup has begun.

Really need to get the boiler installed and a small shed so I can stop wasting heat with the knarly crap you can’t stack. I burned four wheel barrow full loads tonight cleaning up.

 

[Medic21]

Blew a hydraulic line on the grapple this morning. So we hand loaded a dumpster and trailer load. I’m a little whooped.

Nice work Medic21, what causes the hydraulic line to burst?

They were frayed and wore. I looked at them and said to myself I should replace before I drug the machine an hour from home and then didn’t.

We've all put off something we should've done, what type of firewood was it?

There is a huge mix. It was logged out this fall. Red and White Oak, Walnut, Hickory, Poplar, and Maple. Installing the boiler so it will eat it all.
