So what did you do today?

[Jake Dykstra]

How long will that last you?

Pretty mild here in NW Washington so that would get me from October to June.
I have a Blaze King Princess stove thats pretty efficient as well. Other than a few little electric heaters in back rooms and upstairs its my only heat source.
My place is an old farm house so if we do get some NE wind and cold weather I'll definitely have to burn up to 50% more than that. Also I burn Cedar or whatever other wood I get. Peeps here will pay $400 per cord for maple, birch, cherry so I usually sell that.
Average 3-4 cord per year.

Very cool, yeah I do hear about heating old houses, my house is 103 years old, we do have gas heat, but a supplemental wood stove in the basement. The last couple of winters have been quite mild and have not needed to run the wood stove much, which helped out not having to get any wood this year while dealing with two bulging disks in my lower back. Larch/Tamarack is king here for fire wood, when one falls in the forest, everyone hears it and scoops in to cut it up. I have had a few guys literally shaking with excitement to come in and get a firewood permit because they found a standing dead larch nobody has gotten to yet. I have mostly red pine and birch to burn.

Lol. Thats pretty funny. Most peeps do t like Doug fir which we have plenty of. Funny thing is its about the same btu as big leaf maple and not near the ash. My favorite to burn.

Ran these four today. The 61, 041, and 031 are running like champs. The 450 was running good, but now it decided not to oil. I’ll have to sort that out. The 031 was very strong running.

Yesterday I was trying to reclaim a fence that was being overtaken by multiflora rose bushes and various other brambles/bushes. It had been at least 6 years since any trimming had been done around it. This is the result.

Nah, probably just keeping after it better.

Are all of these out of that bunch of old saws you got a few weeks ago?

Hey! That's exactly what we've been doing! I ordered a couple of renegade blades for the fs110, I'm hoping they make it go a lot faster.

Yes sir!

We went to harbor freight and picked up the icon ball joint/universal joint press and it made quick work of rebuilding a lower control arm on the pilot. And I went by the Toyota dealer for a new gas cap for the 4runner sense my evap codes came back.
