Goodwill Roadtrip/Sawing - Success

[dablack]

...I would like to contribute by going to TX on the build date, ...I would love to come and help...can bring a tractor with FEL, Polaris to haul stuff, some carpentry stuff, air compressor, nail guns, etc...have some general plumbing and electrical experience...just need to know a date...

Hey Rich,

That would be great.  After all the lumber is cut, I'm assuming I will have to wait a bit before building to let the wood dry a little.  What would help me the most is moving and setting the posts and beams.  Then setting the 2nd floor joists.  After the wood gets cut I will keep this thread updated or start a new one for the build.  We can figure out a date then. 

thanks
Austin

Biggreenavalanche,welcome to the forum. That is a great way to give back to a FF member. Sounds like you will be a big help to the Goodwill Sawing. What sawmill are you saving up for?  ;D

Hello Biggreenavalanche, and Welcome to the Forestry Forum.   

[Magicman]

Since we just got home from the Cabin, I have many PM's, emails, and envelops that I will attend to and get my bookkeeping up to date.

wwsjr and I were able to discuss our plans Saturday.  Hopefully, progress will soon be made toward felling, bucking, and staging the logs to fullfil the cut list.

Dablack, cool, just let me know when n where, hopefully after turkey day  :D, ie hunting season!....all others, thanks for the warm welcome...without getting into Chevy vs ford vs dodge debate on mills, the mill I'm planning on is the TK2000...short term for own lumber (figure I can practice/screw up on my logs, but not a paying customer's) long term I want to augment two retirements, want outside work, and don't ever want another boss ! 50 tomorrow, 57 at second retirement, looking forward to sawyering and admire what magicman does to help, I wanna get involved with stuff like that to the extent that I can afford...figure milling would be a way for both goals...

Most don't care about brand on here.Of course each thinks they have the better brand,but most don't try to convince you of it and tell you that you don't know nothing.
TK2000? Hyd? what kind motor,hp?

[trapper]

sent cash.  Hope it got their and not a problem.

What cfarm said...the only arguements on here are whether grits is considered an edible food or a food group (depending on where you live)!

Thanks again for MM and wswjr to organizing all this!

 smiley_dizzy My head is spinning this morning.

48 FF members have pledged $3350, plus two did not give me an amount.  I have received money/checks from 36 members with a total of $2365.  I have acknowledged each contribution that I have received with a PM.  (figuring out FF names & real names can be a challenge)

Hopefully, progress will soon be made toward felling, bucking, and staging the logs to fullfil the cut list.

[jueston]

all of us that sent checks did the easy part, i'm sure trying to keep track of it all is the hard part...   :D

its really great to see a community able to come together to help each other out.

Subtle.....very subtle. 

Yes, I know.  I'm working hard to get to that point.

38 hp gas...full hydro...considering a lap siding attach...also planning on mouldering/planer...one large solar kiln, and maybe one large dehumidifier kiln...looking at ways to maximize profit on product...business plan in progress...luckily I won't have to rely on the business for beans n bullets,so to speak...this upcoming build project will be vey beneficial to me and am really looking forward to both it and the chance to help out !

An edible food group that is eaten with gusto ! That oughta settle that one ! ;D

Certain members will keep the grit debate going until they can no longer post.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Look Y'all......Grits are a food Group. Come down South, fix a BIG pot of Grits and here comes a group.  :D

[thecfarm]

I was down your way once.I never saw any groups.  say_what

[Peter Drouin]

DanG....I believe I'll SHUT UP on this matter.  smiley_ignore

One must not overlook the other important uses for grits:

   As a binder/additive to cement...no need for rebar.

   Tile grout.

   and of course dry grits spread around the lawn perimeter as a mole repellant. (caution: do NOT use cream of wheat as a substitute. Moles have the good sense to like cream of wheat.)

;)

[WH_Conley]

Grits are a food additive. You feed them to the cattle and they turn into food. ;D

[Leigh Family Farm]

Success...another thread has been hijacked and turned to food!!

[thecfarm]

Bite your tongue!!!  I haven't seen any food mentioned on this thread.  ;D

[WDH]

I never knew a mole that had good taste.
