I cut my own wood. I'm slower than I used to be and dont lift heavy logs anymore as the arthritis is getting worse each year. I use the winch on my atv or a come along to hall logs out and if the log is too big I junk it in the woods. I really enjoy cutting my own I find it very peaceful...
Yes the ergonomics are horrible. My other brother has his on a shorter stand and sits in a chair when he uses it.
I also find the ram doesn't go up far enough. I have a junk of wood that I use when splitting shorter junks I attach it to the ram with a bungee so I dont have to keep moving it...
The spliter I have is a 4 ton. The only complaint I have for it is that the stand it's on is to low for me. If I use it as is I'm hunched over just enough that it kills my back. When I use it I put it on a pallet to give it a little more hight.
They all have the lever and button setup its...
This is one of the best tools I ever purchased. I haven't swung an axe in over 2 years.
Best part is even my son likes using it. He split almost 1/2 cord today with no complaints. God love him.
So ollie our other tom finally got moved out of the chicken house. He's in a temporary run in side of the run with our young turkeys. Once they get bigger I'm going to try putting him in with them and see what happens. Hopefully he will clue in that he is a Turkey and not a chicken. Before...
The old netting was 1/4in it survived last winter I also had to knock the snow off with each snowfall. The new netting I put up is about 1.5 in and much stronger i used fishing net. I'll take a pic when I go outside shortly
Turnes out the netting over our layers run was tore as well. I replaced the netting over both took me the whole day to replace it. I will replace the netting over the bantams run as well then all the runs will have the new netting. This netting will stand up to the snow much better than the...
It appears the bad weather finally broke we have a nice day 😀
Discovered this when I went out to feed the birds. The snow caused the netting over one of the turkey pens to tear. So I have a new project for today replacing the flimsy store bought netting with home made
Its another miserable day here the wind is howling and it's pouring out. So what do I do on a day like this? Cut a hole in the bedroom floor lol.
There's been a soft spot in the floor that I have been ignoring for awhile so since I'm stuck inside today I decided to take a look. Turns out the...
Sad day today. Our oldest dog Dakota crossed the rainbow bridge today. We knew it was coming but it was still difficult to see her go. We were with her till the very end.
She will be missed and the house will not feel the same for awhile. We had her from 7 weeks old to 14 years. She had a...
Our coldest months are February and March. It's May/June before it starts to warmup. When I was a kid it was different winter would start in October and end early june. Spent many a Halloween in a snow suit lol. Now the bad weather doesn't usually start till around Christmas. The amount of...
