General Board / Re: The weather 2025
Last post by Greenie - Today at 05:33:49 AM8 Days without rain. Rough pasture I mow several times a summer is starting to dry enough so I can mow without leaving muddy tire tracks. In the woods it's getting dry with some dust but surprisingly the fire danger is still low.

Looks like some sun and clouds.

Firewood and Wood Heating / Re: Stacking wood
Last post by doc henderson - Today at 02:54:56 AMRemind me, is there an additional charge for the delivery? You could make the stacking 100 bucks for all volumes. How long does it take to stack, vs just dumping it on the ground? How picky are your customers? what if they do not want any driving on the lawn? Sounds cheap and some may take advantage.

I already knew I needed to upgrade my wood drying setup. I got tired of the tin blowing off of my stacks, even with our mild climate.
This was built as a multi purpose structure. At this point I has bought a 40' container kiln and needed roof for solar power, and also wanted it to be machine storage if that was the most valuable.
And I kept twisting arms trying to get the truckers to deliver an oversize container to my absolutely aweful location.

Last post by kanoak - Today at 02:15:59 AMA home for the edger
This edger I bought was a sweet deal. Previous owner just couldn't dial it in straight. After a couple of years taking up space I decided it needed a home in the workflow. So I built it a home.
And then I spent some time on the machine and added some lasers.

So I worked in here for a couple of years. Bought a CTL with some computer problems, a Cooks edger from a koa mill with some issues, and had some other interesting side tracks.
And then in 2022 we had some storms that blew down whole fields. I estimate conservatively that 100k bdft of timber went down.
I am still salvaging logs from this and the next years events. So I built a log yard next to the mill, in the forest to keep the logs as moist as possible before sawing them.

Firewood and Wood Heating / Re: Stacking wood
Last post by Firewood fanatic - Yesterday at 11:09:46 PMSorry for the late response, but it sounds like I just neeed to make the stack look nice and presentable, and not worry as much about where the bark goes, thanks everyone! Also, what would you guys charge do stack a three cord load? In previous posts on different topics I said 75$ per cord, but now I'm thinking $100 for three cord. Once we have more time we want to do one and two cord deliveries. I'll then charge $50 for one cord, $75 for two cord, then $100 for three cord. Does that sound like a good price?

[/url]A pretty large for me ERC log. Made a decent whack of 11 1/4 in boards a couple of 2x6's. I forgot to take a picture of the log it was about 16"
