The small shelter out of the shop is a good idea. It may end up out of the shop anyway.

Bigfoot mating season. Stay on the porch.

When I see a post that has a lot of 'likes', almost without exception it is worth reading. Sawhawgz was an exception.

Chicken of the woods? We picked about 3 lbs. of Chantarelle's yesterday.

3. Those that sound like a creep on a chainsaw forum..

It's true.

This is a rather rare Troy-bilt being made only in one year, 1984. It's a 'Cultivator Plus' designed for cultivating. 3 hp Tecumseh. I use it weekly during the growing season and have had it for just a few years. Kind of a collectors item.

Make sure the worm gear transmission always has plenty of good lube. Mine failed and I've heard it's a known weak point. Nice little cultivator. To call it a tiller is a stretch, IMO.

Your Ideal Steel if I'm not mistaken is a hybrid. It has both a catalytic device and secondary air tubes. It sounds like a great stove. My Jotul just has secondary air tubes. The hybrids weren't out back in 2002 when I bought mine. I'll be reading up on the Ideal Steel this even. I love these...

Note the reflection of the room in the glass in our Jotul F-600CB. I was trying to get a good 'secondary burn' image not realizing I was taking my own photo. M.C. Escher-ish. We've had it a bit over 20 years now.

I don't think it's going to work out. If your stove is in your basement and you use fans....maybe it would take a month or two.

It's really not that hard to mount the bar on the saw with the chain adjustment almost all the way in and do a dry fitting of the chain right off of the spool. A second person might be handy though. Have the correct sprocket on before hand.
