Drew great looking boat I'm jealous for sure. Oriential is one of my favorite places to visit. Maybe we can hook up on the ICW sometime. The Reserve marina or what it used to be called is very near to me in Litchfield or Pawleys Island. Your passion for boats shows thru

Yup ... the diameter of the three big logs from the last batch in the previous picture measured 37"+, 39"+, and 48"+ at the largest end ...

Yeah ... I dunno if I would say "on hand" exactly ...

I can come up with plenty of smaller wood ... but most of it would have to be cut down and bucked.

I've been cutting everything @ around 19" - 20" lengths ... I could cut those in half to 10" ... which might speed up the drying, but it might make it a PITA to handle/stack etc.

There's a large maple on the edge of leach field that needs to be taken out, has three or four trunks ... plus plenty of ash.

Just got to get the stuff cut down and get it bucked so it can start to dry and season.

If money was no object, I'd probably look at the tarps truckers that run flatbeds use ... I'd imagine those are pretty heavy and durable.

I'm at the point where I can ill afford to waste time having to redo stuff

Nice logs will come in handy this winter

But if you remember RS's saga a furnace would be easier.

Good evening all. 72F this morning, got to 89F and some decent sunshine. More box unloading, got living room setup. SWMBO thinks we will start sleeping there Friday or Saturday. Will have to figure out what is missing, several boxes have not still not been delivered. Internet is functional but home network is not setup.

How are you dealing with the insects down there? Up here in Michigan, the skeeters are really bad today, and the black flies are there, but not in the cloud quantities that the skeeters are. My dogs go out, and come right back to the door. I worked outside a bit today, and wore jeans, long sleeve shirt, hat and a bunch of Cutter bug spray.

We haven't had enough rain lately to worry about skeeters too much. If you are in the shade a little Cutter is a good idea, but they have more sense than to get out in the sun

Later in the summer on we will have yellow flies and horse flies so bad you have to cover all skin, and wear thick shirts and pants. They put a hurting on you when they bite.

Nice looking boat Drew.

Happy anniversary Farmer.

MG, glad you guys are getting closer to living in the new house. When we built this house the varnish they put on the cabinets was making Margie sick. We would spend four nights in our old house in town, then three nights out here. It took a couple of months before she could take it full time.
