A day cutting wood

[Peter Drouin]

I'm planing on stopping in but been busy

Bruno

I know what you mean, With the cold snap we have customers coming like crazy.

[Peter Drouin]

Nice today, Sun out, Finished up an order of live edge siding.


  

 
See how the sawdust freezes on the wood.  :D
Last 2 days, it's been doing that.


  

    

No sawing next 2 days bring home some fire wood.


  

  

 
I'll get the wood out and the logger will make another pile like that .

[Peter Drouin]

Bruno, It will be 2 to 3 years to use it all up.  But it will be here to work up. Where it's going I can't get a logging truck in. So I'm using the one ton with John.

Tell you what, yesterday was around +18F and it was cloudy and windy.  Today was in the negatives and then warmed up to in between +4 and maybe +9 but it was sunny and no wind.  Yesterday was miserable, today wasn't bad at all, actually a really nice day, however, once the sun went down it was more colder feeling.

High of twelvish today. I put the splitter next to the boiler and opened the door to take advantage of the radiant heat. The woodmonster is hungry in this weather.

Been sawing some Doug Fir, Pine, and Hemlock.  The Doug Fir is beautiful.










Before I knew really what I had I just used the Doug Fir for siding and purlins :(

Holy cow no snow there.
I have been snowed out since early November.
Not that I would have sawed anyway as my helper moved to Texas on me.
going to Florida on January 4 and back in Mid April.

[Peter Drouin]

It was cold. But John started up and we went to work.


 
I think I'm ½ way. I have a customer coming 8 AM to pick up the siding.
Then try to get to the wood lot to bring down the rest. With the 1 ton, It's parked up there.
I don't like driving John down the road in the snow.  The weather man said 2 to7".
With the snow I have Red Fox tracts all over. I knew they were here eating chipmunks. ;D
I was surprised.
The tracks go over the log piles, slab piles, up the wood chip pile.  And their running, 4' from print to print.
I had an ermine, all White with a black tip tail chase a chipmunk the other day, 
Chipmunk lost the race.

4x4 is that the addition we were talking about the other day?

[4x4American]

Petefrombearswamp  I heard you guys got pounded out there in CNY.  Those last pictures are from a couple days ago before we had much snow.  I live 25miles east of the sawmill and there is much more snow here.  We got 6-7" the other day here at home, went to the sawmill and had maybe 3-4".  We need at least a foot of snow on the ground before the snow machine trails here open up.  People are getting ancy and riding anyways I see.

Bruno,
As a fellow builder,I like D Fir a lot.Porch decking,ceiling,interior stair treads,window sills,and the list goes on.What I don't like is the splinters.
