They are both really cool! Nicely done! All you need is an apron chain and manure forks for the bucket and you ready to clean out stalls!

So some negative today. The neighbour I was getting wood from, who told me to take it and just leave a 1/2 ton truck load there, which I agreed to, now I stirred things up I guess. The grandson wanted the wood because he payed for the wood to years ago. And the neighbour was after them, his son and grandson to come and get it. But they never did. Now that the wood is disappearing, there all excited. Neighbor said on Monday to not take any more until he found out for sure what they were gunna do. I said that’s fine. So I get a call from the son last nite, a friendly call, not take any more that his son is going to take it because he burns wood. I said fine, and said there is a pile still outside here if you want I can take it back or yous can come here and get it. He slowly said no, that’s alright you keep it. I said fine. I have offered to pay for the wood a few times but the neighbour won’t give me a price. So I asked the son while I was on the phone with him, how much do you want, your father won’t give me a price. No, I’m not getting into that he said. So it was left like that. I’d say the father, son and grandson are having sort of a family dispute over the situation.

Any way, bottom line is, I shoulda stayed away.

Well now I guess I am going to have to get a toy spreader and water it and see if I can get it to grow into something larger . ;)

Oh man, it's not a nice feeling, is it?! But don't feel bad, a guy needs to stick to his word. It's not your fault in any way.

So was at this yesterday and today. Great spot to work in the lean too and have the doors open at each end, while it’s raining out. Son doesn’t want all hardwood in for the garage any more. He only burnt about a 1/4 of the pile there in the last two years. So I sorted the hardwood that was there into two piles. One 18” and shorter, that will go to the house for this winter. Any thing longer into the pile that will stay to burn in the garage. So I’m cutting up old boards and junk, with my dads home made table saw, and I’m out in the rain cutting up free softwood we got a few years ago and I’m making up sort of a Dagwood sandwich of wood. Hardwood layer, cut up board layer and soft wood layer, then keep going with that until space is full. I may run out of long pieces of hardwood before the end, but that’s ok. And I have my homemade pickaroons with me for help. Why I never made those many years ago is beyond me. They are a great tool for firewood. And other jobs too!
So almost half done of the storage spot.

Well that was it for today. I’ll go back tomorrow. Not suppose to be raining, so I’ll be able to cut some softwood. That’s the next layer to put on. Already got wet getting softwood today so that’s enough of that. Got all the old wood sticks and stuff in the trailer cut up. Another load of that stuff outside yet.
