Bellows FTW

I think I bought my last ones from Wesspur, though I'm not positive. I have bought quite a couple off Amazon. The last couple I've bought are okay, as far as the cube itself is concerned, but the holes in the corners are big enough for a stray cat to get into, it seems. I am exaggerating, for...

The straight in log method must require a stove that is quite deep. With my Hearthstone, it is fine with 18 inch wood sideways, but it would have to be no longer than 12 inches or even less to go in straight on. No way am I going to be cutting firewood at 10-12 inches. That's just silly :).

I have found the straight in log method to work well also. Also found when running the stove hot ash burns down more and coals burn up. Not even a lot more air, just with more wood. I usually don't burn too hot, but with cold plunges we have had the fire has been getting packed with more wood...

That's a great price. I don't need another one at this point in my life, but not so long ago I'd have jumped on that. There are innumerable things I no longer need more of at my age, but are quite attractive nonetheless :). Also, some things I do need that are somewhat less attractive, but...

True. Mild winters always are followed by summers rife with yellow jackets...just one example I dislike :). Snowpack is at historic lows, so summer river levels will be low as well...hard on fish, hard on farmers, hard on hydro. Fruit trees are budding way too early...and will more than...

Best price I've seen. Just bought the (LIKELY) same chives with Wesspur branding, then searched and found...

Feels like May here too. Ridiculous. Hard to complain about good weather, but it needs winter or summer will suck

I've been meaning to post to this thread regarding a holiday season gift "to the house" from my lady M. A fireplace bellows for use with freshening up the fire in the woodstove, either starting from scratch or adding fuelwood to a fire that has died down to small coals. I have to say I was...

Stupid nice weather for early February. Yesterday it was sunny and warm...mid 60's! We had friends and their dog over for a romp on our fenced acreage and lunch they brought, and we ate outside on the deck like it was June. Crazy.

Fresh inch of snow high of 35 so I might just let it melt.

Markets vary, here and everywhere. Most climbers have established relationships with a number of different companies that they juggle to suit all parties.

The blackhole of contract climber rates. I've always told climbers asking about rates to try and align themselves with the other professional trades(electrician, plumber, tiler etc) in their area. These trades typically require X amount of work hours plus sometime spent at the trades school...

I don't have a machine of that nature. There are a couple of small tractors with front end loader buckets that neighbors own and that I have borrowed a time or two over the years. But this area is down in the riparian flat alongside the little creek we have, and is still fairly well treed with...

Springy! No precip. Some fog. Might work in a jacket, but be a bit sweaty. Wind exposed areas fir projects.

The whole story is actually hilarious, and slightly tragic. Much better than a hacky AI image.

...which our two youngest daughters each slept in for their first few months, then used by our oldest grandchild. Now readying it for our ‘second son*’ and his wife, who are expecting their first. *(his father died when he was a teen and we sorta adopted him. I officiated at his wedding two...

So, you heard it snowed in Florida right? Since moving to the middle of the state, we are enjoying the temperature change. The snow was about an hour or so from us but the temperature here went below freezing 😳 (just for a little bit!) We covered our plants with plastic and blankets, all but one...

Do you have any material moving machines there?
