A day cutting wood

[Peter Drouin]

You must like the new place. More room??

[PAmizerman]

More room. Less mud and more under roof!!

[Peter Drouin]

All the roof you can get is a good thing. Rain here two times today, you couldn't see 30' out across the yard.
Did get more Hemlock in.


Nice stuff no shake or rot. Another load coming. ;D
My Pine Man is all bogged down in the mud. :D
That load will be all 14' For barn siding.
Did get some wood cut. And a ton of side wood.


 

Want some mud?

 :D :D ;)
 

[GAB]

Mr. Drouin:
Thanks for the mud offer.  I'll pass as I have plenty of my own.
My lawn is turning yellow because of all the rain.
I do not dare go into the garden as the wet clay soils help you gain weight and height from the mud attached to your footwear.

[Peter Drouin]

I did smooth it out some ;D


 

PAmizerman,, Do you use your Lull like this to scale the logs?
I can see the logs well enuff to grade and scale them.
I can put them away faster this way.


 

Nice Hemlock.

[PAmizerman]

Softwoods aren't scaled around here. It's a flat price per triaxle load. 
Mostly come in 25' sticks

[Peter Drouin]

Logs in NH are scaled hard or soft. That way I can deduct BF if something is messed up. Like rot shake, crook. Sometimes a big chunk out of the side of the log. Like a 16' log is 15'11". Mark the slip no trim cut to a 14' and scale.
I like to see what I'm buying.
But, that's how it's done in NH.  Pulp is by the ton.

[Bruno of NH]

Peter 
I'm glad your back taking pictures of your work day.
I have missed them.
I like seeing other Sawyers working in the mud  :D
I got springs running all over my property and mill yard this year.

[PAmizerman]

Sorry to disappoint you Bruno

 

[Bruno of NH]

Sorry to disappoint you Bruno

:D I need to haul in some hard pack 

[PAmizerman]

I've dumped over 1000 tons of stone into it

[Peter Drouin]

Nice yard, 

[Peter Drouin]

More wood,


 

 

 

Then more,


 

Got to do a little scaling
Some of the Hemlock 24' 


 

[thecfarm]

I saw some dust??
I'm getting rain on Friday.
Are you?
I would not want it to dry out around here.  :

[Peter Drouin]

yes thr and fri more rain.  :

[Peter Drouin]

Mud sucks  :D


 

 

I did get some wood out, I always ask the customer what they hauling with. So I can make the bundles the right size.
The lull is a big help with a trailer like this.


 

With the straps, makes loading easy. ;)

[Bruno of NH]

We use the straps as well 
It makes loading easier with certain trailers.
I'm sick of the mud 

[Nebraska]

We would gladly take some of your extra moisture. 

[Bruno of NH]

We would gladly take some of your extra moisture.

We have had nothing but rain all summer.  The farmers have had a tough year.
Good quality hay is going to be hard to find and very expensive 

[cutterboy]

There are two farmers who rent my hay fields. One on one side of the road and the other on the other side. So far one farmer hayed one field and the other fields have not been touched. The bales from the field that got hayed all molded and had to be throwed away. Tough year for farmers indeed!
However, they are predicting five days of sun starting Thursday and one of the farmers told me he would start haying then.

[PAmizerman]

It seems when they are calling for sunny weather here that's when the smoke comes down from Canada.
If it's not hazy it's raining here

[Peter Drouin]

Good horse hay here is $14.00 a bale.
Sent out some chips.


 

 

Cutting some W Oak today, and 16' 12"x12" W Pine beams, Let it rain. :D 8)

[Peter Drouin]

More wood and mud.


 

 

[thecfarm]

I do hope the rain slows down this winter. 
Can you imagine all this being snow!!!!!!

[jpassardi]

I've been thinking the same for a while...If the precipitation doesn't slow we'll be plowing/shoveling snow multiple times a week in New England.
