A day cutting wood

[Sixacresand]

The hardware store downtown had some heavy duty hinges, hefty wood screws and carriage bolts.  I should be swinging in by tomorrow noon.  We are blessed to still have a locally owned hardware store.

Not good,


 
It's the big one in there, A little rub over the years and it was weeping now leaking bad.
Wheres the cat man when I need him. :D :D

Seems like it's always the one that's in the back or the hardest to get to!

[Peter Drouin]

That's why the cat man is going to do the job, I'll make lumber. ;D

Would be a good time to check other hoses, maybe upgrade to heavier psi / wire hose. Maybe some anti-abrasion wrap would help too.

[Grizzly]

That's why the cat man is going to do the job, I'll make lumber. ;D

I often wonder if I would be better off taking this approach. I'm too inclined to say I can do it myself and will spend significant time to learn how or simply to dig in and figure it out. Meanwhile I could have been making lumber or making production in some other part of the family enterprise. The repair guys do well for a reason and it's not robbery. It's cause they know their stuff. Most times.

[Peter Drouin]

Resonator, I'll give the cat man a piece radiator hose cut the long way to put on the hose.

Grizzly, I don't have all the tools to do the job. I will do a job like change the oil, grease it, change the air and fuel filter. Jobs easy to get at and fast to do.
But you have to remember the cat mans work is guaranteed.  ;D


I was talking to 4x4 last night on the phone about my 30"x40" addditon and hire it out. [roof part]. I can do it or make lumber. Will see.

Peter -

Just wondering what you did to the bottom of those posts to keep them from rotting.

[Peter Drouin]

Not a thing. :D :D :D :D
I might put some old oil around where they meet the ground.
At 63 I don't make things to last forever.
IF! My boys ever get the place they can deal with it. :D :D :D :D

Kinda like an 80 year old man want to put 30 year shingles on the house. WHY. ;D

[4x4American]

I got some pics to put up anyone know if there's a new way to do it with the new server?  I cant find the gallery button. On my mobile btw

[4x4American]

Got some tire chains for my hoe today.  Sick of sliding around all over the place and not being able to push anow with the racing slicks I had on the front.  They would also compact all the snow and make my yard an ice skating rink.  I've fell down and so have others on it.  Not good.  These chains should help break up the ice a bit.  Moved a little snow this afternoon and they were awesome.  I could actually push the snow where I wanted it to go.  Got them things nice and tight too dont even need bungee cords.

[Andries]

Good photos 4x4 - you must've found the gallery button.  ;D
Got similar issues up here in Manitoba - the snow buildup is starting to push back.
Those chains look good. Mind telling us where you sourced 'em?

[Southside]

Sweet - now you just need a big scoop or a Boss type V plow for your hoe - I sure don't miss those days!!!  Around here we get enough to plow once every couple of years, so I just lash a big old log to the skidder blade and away I go - no digging in, and when I am done the log has a nice, debarked section!! 

[4x4American]

I got em from Dick Fogarty of Comstock Logging Supply, he's the man.


lol lol that's too funny southside I like that idear

Eat yer heart out Fisher!!!

Some days its just hard to go to work innit: All that white sandy beach and palm trees swaying in the breeze and days at 90 and nights at 75. Warm tropical rain with drops sooo big they sting when they hit. Makes a man just want to sit on the verandah and stare at the water all day, then maybe go fishing, then end the day still sitting there with beers watching the bikini girls undulate down the waterfront.

Doesnt it?



 

Doesnt it???  :D :D :D


(Y'know guys, 50 is approaching quicker then I'd like and I've never touched snow. Seen it out an airplane window twice, and thats it. Guess I need to attend to that huh... maybe put a finger in it then retreat to the nearest banana tree to contemplate the experience. Weird old world innit?)

Kinda like an 80 year old man want to put 30 year shingles on the house. WHY. ;D

I sorta like that.  :D

[Dave Shepard]

Eat yer heart out Fisher!!! 

:D I tried pushing snow with the 208 once. Once.

[YellowHammer]

Well, looking at the photos, I would have to say I would rather be milling at Longtimes's place than 4x4's.  Both have magnificent views, but one made me want to grab a fishing rod and a beer, and the other made me want to shiver and climb back into bed.
;D ;D
I think I'll wander outside and saw some wood, it's a balmy 33° here, still too cold for us southerners. 

[Sixacresand]

Poston Wide Head?  Cool name change.  Does WM recommend 1 1/2 inch blades on the Wide Head?

[terrifictimbersllc]

Makes a man just want to sit on the verandah and stare at the water all day, then maybe go fishing, then end the day still sitting there with beers watching the bikini girls undulate down the waterfront.

Could be worse, your blade could be undulating, just saying.

[Peter Drouin]

33° Yellowhammer  :D :D :D :D :D That's hot for this time of the year, I'd be in a light shirt.
:D :D :D :D :D
How about scaling logs in this.
