Just another day in Paradise

I can't believe I did this :(

Yup that's my firewood cutting rack. I was unloading a log truck today and had customers waiting. I don't even remember backing into it. I never felt it in that big machine. Guess I'll be building another one.

Got two more triaxle loads of hemlock in yesterday!! Look at the size of those suckers!!
A couple are around 28" at 25'

I got a good bit of sawing done last week.
It was hot and humid but it wasn't raining so I took advantage of it. I picked some of the smaller logs out for 1x10's

It's a good day when you get 1x12x14 out of the flitch pile 8)

Heck, yeah! Now how do you get that sawdust outta ther

PAmizerman · September 09, 2018, 10:14:27 PM

One shovel full at a time

.
I can't wait to get set up at my new location. No more shoveling

PAmizerman · September 09, 2018, 10:18:48 PM

When that shed was built it was for a lt30.
And it was only going to be a hobby. I was only going to have to shovel sawdust once a year. Well things changed now I saw full time. I don't wanna know how many tons of sawdust Ive shoveled.

I started building another slab cutting rack. This one's gonna be just a little more stout than my last one :D

That will work for a while.

PAmizerman · September 21, 2018, 09:24:06 AM

Got er finished yesterday!! Works like a charm

PAmizerman · October 01, 2018, 09:20:07 PM

Ever have one of those days?
Seems I couldn't get nothen accomplished today.
I had an order for some 2x8x18
And some 1x10x10

The 18 foot log went crazy on me and I had to dig another out.

And 2 of the 10 foot logs were full of shake.

But hay....just another day in Paradise

It hasn't rained here for 3 days 8)

If you have lumber going sideways, You are cutting down on the wrong face .

PAmizerman · October 02, 2018, 09:08:18 AM

Thanks Peter. I'm aware. There was a big ugly knot that I didn't want in the face of every board. I knew it was going to go sideways on me but I didn't think it would go that much. I left the can't an inch wide to edge out the crook. But that wasn't enough.
He is going to use them as runners on a hay wagon so a little crook wouldn't be an issue. But 4"

I don't think he would be happy with that. I know I wouldn't.

Beautiful pic,,,,I want clams for dinner !

PAmizerman · October 04, 2018, 11:18:34 PM

Very nice Quebec!! Sure looks like paradise to me.

PAmizerman · November 02, 2018, 09:41:31 PM

I've been swamped with orders. Things looked like they might slow down a little and I could finally get started on my sharpening shed!

Nope. had a guy roll in with a couple loads of nice ash he wants sawn. He says he has about 5000 feet down and ready to bring over. It's been a good year for me
I guess I'll just keep buying blades if I don't get my equipment up and running ;D

PAmizerman · November 09, 2018, 06:35:14 PM

Got a hole chiseled out for my sharpening shed. Looks like I might get to it here shortly.

samandothers · November 09, 2018, 06:57:32 PM

A bit moist! ''Tis the season".

Busysawyer · November 09, 2018, 07:45:41 PM

Your land looks similar to mine as far as having to carve space out if the hills. Thankfully my ground is mostly sand so not much mud. I do get some areas of liquified sand though. It looks solid but when you step in it ya sink up to your calf. It's what we call mud season in Michigan right now it goes from October until June most years. There is generally a few ice seasons mixed in between as well. The key here is to flatten out the ruts right before the ground freezes or else your stuck dealing with lumpy frozen ground for a couple months.

PAmizerman · November 09, 2018, 08:09:25 PM

Just a little soggy! :D
The ytd precipitation for here is just over 57 inches so far. It has been non stop rain here.

I've had mud since last November. Usally I'll smooth things up before it freezes. Last winter it never really froze here.
It's just been mud mud mud.

I only got my hole dug because it didn't rain for 36 hours prior. 8) it was nice not having a day and a half of rain!
The sun even came out the one day
