Yeah but you end up hauling twice as much wood that way. Oh wait, that's a good thing. Nevermind

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Fried a turkey to bring to mom tomorrow, with all this craziness she decided to not go to either my house nor my sisters. So we’re making her a nice meal with all the fixings. Going to be a very low key holiday just me and the misses. Last year mom was in the hospital so no thanksgiving for two years

I have two woodpiles and use out of them alternate winters so it has a chance to dry out during the summer even if cut green. Which means of course that I have to be two years ahead by fall.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I get it up above Toadlena in the Chuska’s, about 35 minutes south of Shiprock and 12 miles due west to the mountains. My wife gets the permit for like $5 or something. My father in law knows all the good honey holes. All said from my house to the spots up on top where we cut is usually close to 2 hours, so when I go we bring 2-3 trucks and make the most of it. It’s all scrub oak but normally we can find some that’s 18”-2’ in diameter.
I’ve got about 5 cord split, seasoned and stacked already. The loads we got yesterday should be a good head start on next year. As warm as it’s been I haven’t even burned half a cord yet.

You’re correct not one of the 4 sacred peaks. Have you ever driven up to or hiked around the Shiprock pinnacle? That’s another really cool place.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I left off the concrete work along the garage I built with pulling that swing set footer out. Once past that obstacle, bit by bit, I got the walls, steps, and walkway all done
I needed to make a threshold for the entry door on the one side

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I had an old 6 pane window sash with no glass I saved from a chicken coupe that went down in a big snow. I decided to size it down to a 4 pane so it would fit in the door I needed to make for the garage. That went well (still needs glass) so I took another sash, with glass, that I had and did the same for the other door. The doors I made from reclaimed Douglas Fir 2x6 rafters. Nice stuff!. The inner panel is 1x6 beaded barn t&g. The best part was all materials, including the Timberlocs (bolts), hinges, and even paint I already had. I only had to buy the thumb latches, $25@

Very nice work Tim. The carpentry/woodworking gene skipped me.

I did all the cabinets in this house. Simple and primitive. Built in place. I just finished a kitchen job on Wed. I've never been too crazy about commercially available kitchens. It seems even the most expensive are made as cheaply as they can get away with, yet all cost more than I can see went into them. I'm done the garage for now. I'd like to have gotten the roll-up door done, but many fish to fry. The electric, garage door, and slab have to wait. I can poke away at the electric still. My current big project is moving my little barn (12 x 20). I built it near a maple tree 30+ years ago and the tree grew a lot while I wasn't looking. The tree wins. I'd like to trim it back, but taking it out is not in my plans. Since I don't plan to stay here too terribly long I decided the minimal solution is move just the barn portion of the building over 32". I'll lose that much out of the shed side, which is now 12'... so about 9' after the move. Still good useful space. It's all dug out ready for concrete, but I decided to rent a concrete saw to make a cut the slab just inside the posts. Then break out that edge and get what's left of the posts out so the new concrete can make a smooth flush seam. The slab was poured after the barn was built and the concrete wasn't troweled out at the edge.
