My drying is usually 2 years and then move the wood into the house and let it acclimate for a few weeks before taking a saw to it . This oak will take at least 3 years to dry ,it was cut down in spring 2000 left in 10 ft log length and milled last month and was still wet. Even sealing the ends it cracked severely on the ends so I had to cut a ft off each end milled then seal it again . It's now stickered and weighted in my barn

I don't want it slippery either. Years ago I had a cleaning lady and I don't know what she used to clean the shower but it was like ice when she was done. I slipped and cracked a rib once trying to get out.

My friends wife thought it would be a good idea using pledge spray wax on the stairs and floors . Her husband went down three steps and slid the rest of the way breaking his wrist and dislocating his shoulder . Sox and wax should never mix .

It sounds like your buddy went down hard. That smarts. When I went down I tried to grab the towel rack which immediately ripped out of the wall and down I went on the side of the tub. I was just lucky that the entire time my ribs were cracked that I didn't have to sneeze. That would have been worse than the fall. I put some polyurethane on some test spots today and it seems to be working. ![]()

Your building on truck picture reminds me of just a roof we set on a '40 Chevy flatbed and moved to my friend's place. I'm sure he has pictures. It was a sight going down the road. I believe it was at least 12' wide.

Clutch on an 05 Cummins today. About 4 hours total start to finish. The lift is nice.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
hi Special K,The big wide slabs were from some big old 150 year old trees from downtown Halifax that were damaged in a storm.i wasn't there when they came down,a buddy who does that work dropped them off in my driveway when i told him i needed a couple stumps for some anvils?way too big for what i wanted so i made them into slabs.i thought they were elm and the guy who sawed them up thought so as well,but i don't know.no idea on what the darker narrower,longer boards are??they make a bench,that's all i know?take care.Greg

Moved some live edge slabs yesterday these things are heavy . The empty two 30lb tanks from the scrap pile worked well .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
And of course I started the Dodge today and the manifold grid heaters weren’t working correctly . Solenoid cycled but the amp meter didn’t move usually the meter goes down from 12v to around 8v . After it started the ck engine light came on code Grid heater performance . Found the positive from the battery terminal corroded off the lug . And of course the nut wouldn’t come free and the post started spinning . $28 for a new one be here on Saturday .
The grid thing is mostly an EPA thing so the fuel burns cleaner in cold temps .

Correct. Somehow, during the 3 hour drive home, the PS box decided it had lived long enough
