The Daily Firewood Picture Thread

[GRANITEstateMP]

I had today off from work.  Got another cord of junky stuff cut up, split, and loaded for the farm boiler.  Cleaned up the remaining 22's from Sundays wood, and cut a bit more into the other dump trailer.  Did a bunch more clean up around the wood yard.  Also started to reload my log deck/brow.  Resting now, waiting on the meatloaf to finish cooking. When the wife goes out, me and the boy make meals that WE like...smells like the biscuits are almost ready too!

Snowing outside,



 

 

but I've got wood inside the barn to split so I can work during the storm.


 

 

 

Most of that wood is from a red oak tree I cut down Friday and brought back two logs. Yesterday I cut up the top and hauled it back to the barn.


     Keep on splitting.....Cutter

[cutterboy]

This afternoon I was in the woods cutting up the top of a red oak tree I felled Monday. I wanted to do it yesterday but it was a snowy miserable day so I stayed in. It was cold up there, just about at my limit for working in the cold.

The gallery is currently off line. I'll try to post pictures later.

[B.C.C. Lapp]

Hope you do cutterboy.     It was -12 on my landing this morning. That's very cold for us here and we only see that a few days a year.   Oh sure 0 now and then but not -12.   TJ fired up with a little prodding, some praying and some cussing.
Called it quits about 2:30. Wind was more than I wanted to deal with.

[cutterboy]

Nope, gallery still off line. Hope the problem is not too serious.

BCC Lapp, at -12° I'd be inside by the wood stove. It is 11 degrees here now and that is cold enough for me. I'll split up the wood I brought down from the woods yesterday, in the barn, out of the wind. This afternoon I'll go back to the woods and cut up the rest of that red oak. However, plans have a way of changing so we'll see.

It's not a problem. It has been locked during the migration process so that photos remain intact and don't get lost while the other work is going on. Just hang in, it will be back soon enough.

[cutterboy]

Thanks Tom, I just read that in (Weird forum) and came back to edit my last post.

Here are some pictures I was trying to post back on the 17th.

[cutterboy]

Some more.

Only 12 days. :D

Now that is a Good Answer !!   8)

[SwampDonkey]

Yeah, they look like about 2.5 meg files when I use the browser inspector. Even though the forum resizes for display.

Good response. :D

This old yard tree had to come down. My Dad would have been 100 years old this year, probably played in the shade of this tree when he was a lad.

[doc henderson]

was that a maple?

[upnut]

Doc- Yes, hard maple....REALLY hard maple. Borrowed the neighbor's Husky 394XP with a 28" bar which worked well. My Stihl 241 buzzed up the top...

[doc henderson]

you could make a history cookie with birthdates and other important family information.  put pins on the growth rings.

[SwampDonkey]

I have a big old sugar maple here that will soon have to come down, but not yet. One thing to mention is the family portrait of them all in front of the tree. The other thing to mention is the year the honeybees came to live in it and are still using that tree.

[Magicman]

With these "just right" mornings, I am building a flicker with about 3-4 sticks in the morning and then letting it burn down and go out.  That is enough to knock the morning chill off without being too hot during the remainder of the day.

- 20 celsius. Unheated cab. Otherwise good weather for salvaging windfalls for firewood.

[doc henderson]

near record high of 63 degrees.  do we still have a degree symbol?

[Magicman]

Not yet.  The degree symbol comes along with the fractions which I also miss.  I can produce a degree symbol with my keyboard but the forum sees it as those three black question marks which is an error and I have to retype.

[beenthere]

Try ° for degree. That is alt-248, by holding down the Alt key and entering 248.  Many symbols can be entered this way.
