Re: Around Waynos house

I made some progress on the installation of the drop in part, I cut the hole in the base I made and dropped it in the hole, I am doing it this way because I want it as low as possible so when I make the part around the drop in part that part will step up as it reaches the sides yet nothing will hit ...

Re: Around Waynos house

Back around 2005 I built a coffee table train, I suppose I might have a photo somewhere of it but that was when I did not have a computer, I inherited this from him when he died, it has been in the closet since then as I was too busy to deal with this kind of thing, if I had free time I was working ...

Re: Around Waynos house

So I went down to my cousins property he bought back in May, it is 3 lots(not subdivided yet, has one house and one well), homeless people had lived in it in the past so it is full of crap, it is real close to the Columbia River, there is one row of houses and railroad tracks between the property an...

Re: Around Waynos house

I guess I never took a photo of my Husqvarna 61 when the muffler was kinda jury rigged on, I have mentioned the exhaust stud stripped out nearest to the chain, but threads go deeper into the head, so I can screw the stud deeper into the head but then it is not long enough to stick out of the muffler...

Re: Around Waynos house

I picked up some free brick wall pieces that were knocked apart with a sledge, I made a mini wall for my front entrance walk, I was hoping to make it 4 or 5 bricks high, but it was not to be, 2 bricks high and the top bricks(3 bricks high I guess), I had just enough to make it the length of the walk...

Re: Around Waynos house

I forgot to mention that I bought 2 new aftermarket exhaust mufflers and I put one on the Husqvarna 266 W(big chainsaw), the stock studs were not long enough and they do not make longer ones for either of my chainsaws(both use the same muffler), so I bought some threaded 6mm rods and made my own stu...

Re: Around Waynos house

I finished the garden path to my telescope observing spot, I had over 50 broken 1.5" X 8" X 16" cement blocks/pavers, so I gathered them all together and started putting them together like a jigsaw puzzle, if I could not make a row across work then I cut a block for the end on that side, I used ever...

Re: Around Waynos house

Sounds like a nice setup. On a somewhat related note; I read that some areas of the south are setting up firewood banks, like a food bank, to help folks get through the winter. Sign of the times, I suppose. You're a rich man, Wayno. Even if it doesn't always feel that way. If I were rich I would no...

Re: Around Waynos house

Much appreciated, but I'm probably looking for something larger. Shop is 36x48 with 13 foot walls and open trusses. I'm looking for something medium sized for my unfinished basement. I'd put it about 10 feet from my basement stairs to help heat the main level. Electric heat sucks. I understand, mos...

Re: Around Waynos house

I've heard throwing a wet blanket in your stove puts out chimney fires. Creates an instant steam bomb. Hope I never have to find out. I'm still looking for wood stoves for my shop and basement. I have an older free standing Orley wood stove(old round type with glass front) you could have, but I mod...

Re: Around Waynos house

I used my chainsaws today, the chains were not sharp on either of them, so once the 24" ran out of fuel I used the 32" until it ran out of fuel, then I put the brand new chain on it and it went thru a 32" log almost like butter, its not a race chainsaw but one has dreams when a new chain is installe...

Re: Around Waynos house

I completely understand having multiples of tools. I have 3 wheelbarrows, 2 push mowers, 2 weedeaters (I think y’all call them weed wackers up there), and so forth. From my experience, you only need one. Until it breaks when you’re in the middle of doing something. And as you probably know, Husqvar...

Re: Around Waynos house

I have to have 2 chainsaws with me at all times to cut my chainsaw out of a pinch situation, I have had cut one out more than once, recently when I see a possible pinch situation(I have no control where/how the log is resting on the ground) I cut halfway through the log and then stick my splitting m...

Re: Around Waynos house

I normally burn 4 to 5 cords, last winter it was likely closer to 6 cord as I started burning earlier and burned later, this year I made it more than halfway thru October before I started burning. Last night I went out into the garage and it smelt like smoke, I went into the attic and could see smok...

Re: Around Waynos house

I have not posted much lately, I hauled another couple loads of wood, I had to remove the tractor from its parking spot and put the wood in there, I have just about cut and hauled away everything he said I could have, I have a load or two left and it is all gone. https://i.postimg.cc/qvZPfg9D/DSC011...

Here is todays load, basically it was 12 large/heavy rounds and a few smaller pieces to fill in the holes between them to make the load look level. https://i.postimg.cc/rySF9FZr/DSC01155.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/fTCz6qNW/DSC01156.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/vHb82FCS/DSC01157.jpg I suspect half the larg...

Re: Around Waynos house

20 !? That would be conservatively $6,000 cut and delivered in my area He says he has 20 cord in the barn, looking at the barn I am kinda worried that if he burns it all the barn will implode, the fire wood might be holding the barn up/in shape, I should take some photos. That is a lot of money tha...
