  • Today we help a buddy put up all of his firewood for this winter. We take the tractor, grapple, side by side and Eastonmade axis over to help him process up some big nasty tree service wood

      I thought so in my younger days, but the older I get the more I realize people only do things for something in return. they pretend it's just good graces, and maybe I'm autistic, but I wish people would just communicate what they want.
      Maybe the generations before did them dirty before they died, but I'm not playing the game.

      But I actually might be autistic too though since I have a lot of symptoms.

    @robertwazniak9495 Před rokem +5

    Nice work. Two things I was taught by my father and grandfather when I was more of a hindrance than a help… First: when you start out lay two smaller logs alongside each other and lay the logs you are cutting in the valley. That way you can cut right through without ever hitting the dirt. And Second, never pile firewood over your head. You might be healthy and feeling good when you stack it but you may not be when you use it or the wifey might have to get it because of unforeseen circumstances and pulling a chunk of firewood onto your noggin ain’t no fun… even less fun if she is the one getting clobbered by it.

    That looks like how I got started in selling a little firewood. I quickly realized I had split way too much for myself and before I could burn it all, it was probably going to start rotting on me. So, I split it again, smaller, to sell off my overstock. Axis did a great job. so nice having a log lift and a quick cycle time. I use a splitter that connects to my tractors 3pt hitch and hydraulics, no lift and very slow. 🥵

    Adam, you're a great friend for helping your buddy out like that, especially considering that you took all of YOUR equipment over to his house to help him. Kudos to you! I sure like the look of the "firewood walls" that he's got on each side of his driveway. I personally don't store firewood like that, I use IBC totes for practicality and ease of moving them around. But I sure like the look of those massive firewood walls that he's got!

    Impressive! The Eastonmade really shined on this job. Not many splitters could handle 34" rounds and the log lift didn't flinch.

  • @Sailor376also
    @Sailor376also Před rokem +1

    I have heated old houses,, I have heated new houses. NOT applicable in this case,, but something to consider. Insulation. Two methods on newer homes. One,, fiberglass is cheap. Fiberglass is so much cheaper than natural gas, wood,,, I have built 12 homes, two of which were for me,, wall framing based upon a 2X10, 9.25 inches on the frame. By the time sheathing, siding , interior,, works out to one foot thick. Hell, you can heat it with a match. You would need 1/3 of that amount of firewood. I know, because I HAVE been there and done that. Second method,, only practical if you are going to replace your windows,, because windows often need the whole house replacement,, and that is the time to make a major change. Strip the exterior to its tar paper or Tyvek. How thick you want to add should be according to your local climate, but the easy addition is 1.5 inches. (2 and 3 inches are just as easy) Tack, nail, screw a 2X3 on the flat (or on edge if you are going for 2.5 inches) around each window and door and on each corner, use a 2X3 in one direction and a 2X4 in the other to give yourself a good stable, straight corner. Nail on top and bottom perimeters. Then go to the center of the wall or any convenient start point,, for an 8 foot tall wall use a 12 foot,,or 10 foot 2X3 nail it on the diagonal formed between the top and bottom perimeters. Take a 24' or 16' wide X 4 or 8 foot long sheet of foam,, your choice of expanded, extruded, poly , or urethane, install above and below that first diagonal purlin, add the next two 2X3s, add the next foam,, etc. custom cuts top and bottom at at the doors and windows. Squirt some canned spray foam in any voids. Apply new windows to the new wall depth, and side as you like. Treat the house once. Expensive, yes, but the labour for treating the house once will be in the same range as cutting and splitting and stacking for just one heating season. But then, after, you need much less firewood for the rest of your life. The greatest single wrong we do when building a house is making thin 4 inch thick walls. They are good enough to hold up the roof, but they absolutely suck (heat) at insulating the house.
