Re: Small things matter
Out at a mates new house doing some clearance work with him. He won't take any money for the wood so I'm keeping a tally of it and once done I'll leave an envelope in the garage beside his toolbox and run away.
You can squeeze a lot into a little transit connect! Pics are of pre and post, 1 load. Got about triple the bottom picture to process and collect. Storage may have to become inventive!

The real economy Joe. Direct reward for your labour. Very satisfying - plus you’ll enjoy it several times over.
Re: Small things matter
On the drive home this afternoon I passed at least 20 WT's all working, the sun was shining, the fields were green and classic fm was playing. Van was light at the front and I was driving nice and slow, epic!Bugtownboy wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:57 pm The real economy Joe. Direct reward for your labour.

Slow living
Enough don’t/can’t/won’t appreciate it. Glad you’re able too.

Re: Small things matter
Does it split easier when it's green? Certainly sawing with a bow-saw is easier - even if you use the (different) correct blade for dry/hardwood when it's not.
