Good morning Chris, when you breakout the sweatshirt, you know fall is right around the corner. When you ask young people what’s their favorite season, almost all say summer, ask us with quite a few miles on us, almost all say fall, with age comes wisdom(sometimes). Have a good day
I love fall too! Octobers my favorite.
Yes, fall is by far the best!
yup!
Hello Chris, another great video! Glad to see the the new toy getting a workout, lol. Tractor is definitely a game changer! Keep'em coming my friend and God bless!
You got that right! Thanks for watching Jim!
Always working. Good job. Thanks for the vid!
* you ever consider selling compost? You could make 3 sided, bottomless corrals out of pallets, 5-6 of them wide enough to get your tractor bucket in easily, figure 7' wide x 12' long or so. Pile all your sawdust and small junk wood bits in one. Then once a month use the tractor to move the pile from one bin to the next down the row and at the end of 6 months you'd have a pile at the end that was composted and ready to sell.
It'd net you more $$ out of your waste stream (which you already paid for, and have to "dispose" of) and not cost much to set up or maintain (time or money wise) about an hour on the tractor once a month turning over piles from bin to bin. Good compost sells for decent money. Especially if it's delivered from a dump trailer (that you already own).
* and forget a screw gun for pallet assembly. Get a battery powered framing nailer. Would allow all your pallet construction to be stupid fast. Prob spend 10% of the time building all your pallet structures over the rest of your business life and overall save a TON of time. A "decent" green one would be a couple hundred, or get a yellow, red (my choice) or blue one for $3-400ish. Also a very useful tool for constructing a lot of other things.
Thanks for all your tips, I'll see about the composting, time is my least available thing with the businesses I have to run.
@@InTheWoodyard you could make up enough time with the framing nailer to do the composting :D
I really respect your work and yard setup and appreciate your vids. You do a good job and I'll gladly pass on any ideas I can think of to help further that. Use them or not as you wish.
I was up at 6am today and it was full dark. The times they are a changin' for sure. That tractor seems to be the perfect size for what you do in your woodyard.
Yes, it is suiting me fine so far!
Love the stackage! Sweatshirt weather! -Brad
Yup, it has been around 50 every morning lately!
Filled my grill with nothing but cherry today, and lit it off- ended up with the best steak I ever ate! Man, that stuff smells good!
Started sprinkling just as the fire was burning down enough to cook on... Hell with that- no rain is getting in the way of my supper! It cleared up just as fast, and ended up being a perfect comfortable temp to sit outside, and the skeeters were even gone. Hopefully it stays that way, got to make room in the shed for the next load of wood! Getting some apple this time.
Yup, that cherry is some awesome stuff! When I stop in , I like my steak medium rare! HA!
G’evening Chris. Good show today. Can’t wait to see the carnage on the cherry. GoodNightIrene
Thanks, I have another busy week or two with my other business, then I will unleash the carnage machines!
Very Nice and entertaining and honest video. Greetings from a woodhound from Belgium, Europ
Thanks so much for watching from across the pond!
I like your music selections, your camera angeles & your high speed cleanups Chris !
Yeah, are all his shots fisheyed and i only noticed because of the wide one?
Thanks Dennis, I am learning as I go!
Yup, I use the wide option but not super wide.
Chris you are funny. Great video. Have a great day be safe
Thanks so much for watching!
OK Chris looks like it may be getting cool outside now. Anyway glade to see that you are still able to get things done with all the rain. Great stacking. Goodnight Irene
Thanks for watching John! I appreciate it!
It's time to act like a Girl Guide and sell some cookies....Lol. That cookie cage is getting pretty full.
Yup, it will happen!
Chris, glad to see you wearing a sweatshirt! There's hope that Fall is indeed just around the corner. Approximately 8 days until it's officially here! Can't wait, tired of the heat, humidity, and all the rain this Summer has given us. Climate change is amongst us, that's for sure!!
Yup fall is close! Best time of year!
Morning Chris! Tractor work, stacking, good stuff! Thanks for sharing. GNI
Thanks for watching, now get to work!
@@InTheWoodyard 🤣I was at work sitting in my truck waiting for some customer to open
Good morning Chris.
Hello Sir David!
Everything looking good ! Have a great day .
Thanks Bruce!
Love the trapping shirt.
Thanks, fall is coming, mornings are cool!
Chris, get the Sawyer insect repellent that you can spray on your skin and the annoying mosquitoes go away. I spray it on my hat and exposed skin, and work in a swamp rebuilding stonewalls for hours and the bugs are no problem.
I have some on I just did not spray my upper half that day!
Your woodyard is coming along nicely, im getting jealous of how ragged mine is looking. Thanks for the motivation of getting it cleaned up. Have a Safe Day
There is always work to be done!
Good morning Cris it’s nice to have your tractor for cleanup and also carrying those pieces of Splitwood a little less labor
Yes, the more I use the tractor the more I like it!
Another great video today Chris.. Full of odd jobs that needed to get done..
Yup, there is always work to do!
Like the emphasis on keeping the woodyard tidy. Looking good!
If you let it get away it turns to soup/pudding!
I like it when I watch.
Thanks Karen, I appreciate that!
Great work day! :)
Thanks!
Good morning Chris. Nice to see that big orange wheelbarrow in action!!! GNI
Hello Mr.906! I will remember that now!
Well you've got me motivated! I need about 5 cords a year for my personal use. I've been splitting and stacking about 1/3 cord a day now. I'm 2 years ahead. Trying to get to 3+.
Thanks!!!
If you want to get ahead I would suggest oak, it keeps longer than any other wood.
@@InTheWoodyard Thanks. I’m in the Missouri Ozarks and that’s about all I have here. Some walnut and elm. I split short pieces of cedar for kindling.
Actually, I used to live in Oconomowoc so I’m familiar with your area; and your recent northern travels.
Third video of yours today i watched only 745 more to go staying indoors today it's cold ❄ ❄ here 73 deg🙃your grapple video going to be a big help 👍Aloha
It was -10 here a couple days ago!Thanks for watching!
Hey Chris I have gravel near where I cut and split have hard time with clean up rocks and gravel mixed in
My gravel will be on the driving area and I would like to do a fine pack in the cutting area eventually.
Good morning from Piqua Ohio. I'm going to be working in my wood yard today! I've got all my echo chainsaws set up with your measuring device with the pull ties.
Sounds great! Get cuttin'!
I also noted that the beard is coming back, we been missing it. It looks good on you.
It is still to warm for insulation! Soon it will cool down again!
It's amazing how much debris builds up when splitting. The tractor helps out with disposal.
Yes there is always a mess!
995 subs as of this morning! Catching up to you!
Almost at 1k! Way to go!
@@InTheWoodyard, the big boost came from your viewers. Cannot thank them enough for subscribing to my channel.
Never ending job makes it easier with that tractor Bucket
Yes it does!
Good morning Chris!!😀😀
You did a good job of driving nails with a ballpean hammer. They don't usually work very well because of the head being rounded a little bit.
Take care my friend!!😀😀
Logger Al
Ya, they are not the best but it got the job done! Later Al!
Good morning sir. Things just keep looking better all the time. Great job 👏
Good morning Turk, thanks for watching!
Great channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
Well said Bill.. 😁👍
Nice job of showing the advantage of a compact tractor over a skid steer. Had you used a skid steer in today's video your grass would be shredded. Compact tractor keeps it nice, plus little bit less expensive. Great video as always Chris.
Yes I did, those are two major reasons for the tractor!
Iwould make a big mess then, I am as unskilled as they come!
Good morning from Grand Forks
Good morning!
It’s a beautiful thing to have a motorized wheel barrow, I just wish you had a cab on it with heat for your winter operations
So far, I am very glad I do not have a cab with how much I am on and off and on and off the thing as I work and record video.
I love your magic shovel. It cleans up so good, and so fast. You could be rich like Cresus(?) doing custom shovel jobs. - Btw, be careful with a new hammer. They have to be well and truly trained to drive nails straight. Like the ball peen hammer was. Lol. - Paul Bunyon had a solution for mosquitoes, if I remem right. Same skeeters, Wisc. He and Babe made those 'thousand lakes', prob why you got so many skeeters. Try citrus peels or lemon juice, keeps bugs off for 20-30 mins., you know, if you don't like poisons on your skin. - The other day you were playing with the garter snake, you listed all the WI snakes, but you forgot again the evil snow snakes. - One more thing, you must need more rest. You didn't make any sonic booms when you were stacking at 'warp speed'. Your yard is getting so organized the G-men will soon be there to 'help' you. - GNI. Say hey! to Tony and Ken and your Dad.
Thanks so much for all the kind words, Ken, Tony and my Dad will be on videos soon.
I was thinking about the idea the other night. Perhaps a big canvas tarp you split on. When your done you can fold it up, pick it up with the tractor and dump it where you dump. Might be a crazy thought but could save time perhaps.
It might work, or, it could cause more problems too!
Hi Chris if I lived closer I would ask to buy that bin of cookie chuck's looks like nice wood.
That would be cool, I do sell a lot of it!
At least you don’t have to shovel raindrops. 🤠👍
Nope I sure don't until it gets bellow 32F!
Swedish candle, wood cleanup was my project yesterday. Placed it over an old tree stump. Still warm, we’ll see how it did on the roots later.
That is good to hear, I hope it burns out good for you!
Hey Chris, I've been watching for just a couple of weeks now. Your thoughts on when and how to upgrade equipment are, in my opinion, spot on. From splitter upgrades to the tractor and everything in between. The bucket-o-nails and a hammer is a prime example. You have the nails and, you have a hammer - why purchase screws and an impact driver? Just use what you have rather than let the nails sit in a bucket & rust away while your hammer hangs, lonely, on a wall or sits unused on a workbench. I love to use the tools I have until they have paid for themselves at least twice. My Stihl AV 038 is chewing up wood almost as well as my MS 362 - I've had that 038 since I was in high school (40 years and over 1,000 cords ago). The rain just stopped here and, there is a solid cord of silver maple that's begging to be cut, split, & stacked in the back yard ... I'll be back tomorrow!
Thanks so much for your kind words! Now get cuttin'!
You need to bring back Grogu 👍😎🙃
I'll see if I can borrow him from my son!
Been having cool mornings here in S. E. Ohio but warms back up by noon. Buy a new hammer & keep it. Give your son the old one!!!!! Lol
Yup, fall is coming! I already bought him his own hammer!
Man. You are getting rain, we had some maybe a week and a half ago and we have very few bugs out. Wood yard looks nice all cleaned up compared to other people wood yard.
Yes, the rain just keeps coming!
Seems it's time for a new cookie bin?! 😁
Yup, I need a new one!
Each day has its own issues and opportunities. Find a way to do what you can and keep cutting. Ball peen hammer needs pink tape 😉
Lol. Good one.
Yup, or just a new hammer!
Yup!
@@InTheWoodyard Chris it’s one of the joys of having kids…particularly boys, that our tools tend to migrate and come up missing. My son is working in college and studying construction. Now he buys me upgrades to my carpentry tools😁
Looks like you are going to have to build another cookie bin, that one is about full....
Yup I think it is time to build again!
Gravels going to be so hard to rake clean! Well, hardER.
I plan on gravel for the driving area and eventually a hard pack of fines on the rest as I can clear off space.
Good idea!
You SHOULD get a power drill😂😂👍👍
Yup, it is on my list!
Good morning Chris another great video👍 If you were to make up a list of tree species for firewood from greatest to worst, how would that go? And is there a certain species's of firewood you would only sell for campfire because of it being less desirable? And Wood that you wouldn't process at all, but rather throw out?
That is a good idea for a video! I'll have to do that one someday! It is a complicated answer because it depends on the use, heating, fireplace or campfire. But my first response is oak. It is what I sell the most and is what people ask for the most, but it has draw backs. It is heavy and dries slow.
For your last question, not even bother with it wood: Buckeye! That shit stinks!! (literally) I wouldn't bother with Elm, personally, because it's a snarly stringy nightmare to split, and even then it shreds as much as it splits. Burns decent, but not worth the extra hassle- there's too many other species around here. Elm can also pick up bad aromas if it grows near something stinky. Sweet gum is also supposed to be snarly and difficult to split, for only mediochre heat output. Those two make the "Only if I can't get anything else" list.
Believe it or not, APPLE wood has about the highest btu content of them all, there's another channel here, where a guy rated a bunch of different woods using real test data. Too bad I can't remember who it was... Osage Orange, Locust, and Hickory are all right up on top, too. Osage pops and spits lots of sparks, though- so not good for open fireplaces.
Like Chris said- it all depends on what you want it for. Nobody wants to heat with basswood- but it makes a great campfire.
It's hard to keep in mind, but all wood puts out about 5800 cal. or BTU's per pound. Willow and basswood, oak and ironwood.
Any hints on what was purchased in Escanaba?
4 new 24" bars, 14 new chains a couple dozen files and some beer.
Was wondering if you had of used the bucket to push or back drag the stuff first. Then used the rake and shovel. Would that be easier and faster ?
I tried the bucket but it just shoves the light material around and it rips up the ground too.
How do you plan on getting rid of your chunk/cookie pile?
I usually sell it all to people for heating with stoves or boilers at a big discount.
If you had to guess. How much do you think your cookie pile is worth?
2-3 trailer loads?
My guess is there are 7-8 trailer loads in the two cribs combined and each load is about one full cord. I normally sell a cord for $330 but these will be sold for less.
Oh cool.
👍
Thanks Jeff!
Good morning, also in Grand Forks, ND. I have not Mr. Dean, but it appears we are interested in similar subject matter.
Good morning! That is good to hear!
Hi Cris,little jobs add up fast
hay Cris,what do you do with your cookies?do they sell for fire wood?
Yes they do!
Yes they all get sold.
Hey Chris. I have been using a screw gun for these pallet set ups and honestly, it may be a little faster but probably not enough to brag about. People's biggest problem here is that most of them don't know how to use a hammer. LOL! One question off topic. I know he is not our favorite person in some ways but the last video I saw from JPF...he had COVID at a homeless function with his brother. I haven't seen anything from him since. Have you guys on the inner circle heard anything about how he is doing?
Ya that was the last straw, I unsubscribed from his channel.
I did not know that he was sick. I hope he gets better!
@@edhansen8531 Thanks Ed! I may do the same.
He posted a video today, says he's feeling much better.
@@pyroman6000 : glad he is doing better..
🌧🌧🌧👍
As always, thanks for watching!
I hope you do not cut those Christmas trees down....they are really pretty!!!
Eventually I will cut them down for a future Christmas!
@@InTheWoodyard ///...Well ok for that...but I thought you said in one of your videos that you were gonna cut em all down to make more room for the wood. I love pine trees. Your Dad sure knows how to grow em.
YeeeeeeeHa........
Yes, I agree!
chris i think you need to use the green acres theme song..
HA! I have thought of that as a possibility but there is that darn copyright stuff to worry about!
you say you did not take a shower for mounth
It was a joke, it has been 2 months! HA!
@@InTheWoodyard i know people i belive that dont shower 2 3 times year and thay stick like hell
Do not challenge the blood suckers...they will carry you off to the den and feed at the leisure.
Probably!
Who is Irene, or is this just an inside joke? Just curious.
Irene was my grandma and our family always says good night Irene when saying good by. Plus it was a popular song from a long time ago that has been redone often!
I'm going to give you my 2 cents worth why don't you dump the sawdust and junk around your xmas trees, it would help build up the soil and keep the weeds down just a thought
That is going to happen soon!
It's been a month?? LOL
Thanks for watching!
It’s OK by yourself the new Hammer that one your son borrowed you’re never going to see you again
Already did!
Around me if its cool enough for a sweatshirt its too cold for the mesquitoes
We have the hardy variety here they don't die off until a hard freeze!
Well good morning Chris baby I see you using your tractor nice video nice job buddy Chris baby text me back Chris baby
Hello Ralphy Baby! How are you doing this fine day?
Crisyouyusually work solo tiresome
