Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

Today I'm doing whatever comes up first that needs my attention...then on to next attention grabber I'll be busy all day with that plan. Everything needs me! A week of needs await.

I feel your pain! Finish one job and the next one is right there waiting on you....sigh. I'm trying to get some of the labor intensive jobs done while our temps are moderate. But - we get good temps after a bunch of rain that makes boot sucking mud. Nothing is ever easy, lol!

It simply ain't no fun, if one doesn't get out every once in a while, is it?

Got it done. Was very pleasant outside, but muddy

Wait, yall actually FINISH jobs?? Wow….

it either gets finished or wrecked bad enough that someone else has to finish it - binary choices are easy...

Wait, yall actually FINISH jobs?? Wow….

A designation of "finished" is up to the originator of the job. Finished might just mean: I changed my mind, I've done all that I can, I'm sick of it, I'm tired of this, or that's the best I can do. You get the idea, lol.

Tank and I are about 1/4 of the way finished cleaning up fallen tree banches from the ice storm. I cut them at 20" long what can be used in the wood stove. I'll probably have about a cord of fire wood when we finish cleaning up. I'll chip up the smaller ones when my PTO wood chipper arrives. There's a lot of banches down.

What is the yellow wood?

What is the yellow wood?

Ironwood (Ostrya virginiana)​

it's strong, heavy and hard. The trunk is useful for a lot of things. But big branches are great for firewood. It throws off very good heat (high BTU rating). It's very difficult to split by hand with wedges and slege hammer. However a 40 ton splitter can split it with ease.

Coffee is ready. I’ll be working on the hoop coop today. Goal: put hardware cloth down the sides, put plywood on the back.
