We are still seeing some decay in some of our trees / logs and they are mostly lodgepole pine ( jack pine ). Do you know, do lodgepole pine have a shelf life? Just trying to figure out why some of these are showing signs of decay... Any thoughts?
Nice job. When turning logs, you might try putting a piece of pipe over your log stop to make it taller. Easier and faster than raising the log stop each time and it will make sure the stop is taller than the log. Try it and see if it works for you
Us loggers call that red rot. When we see it in the woods cutting trees it is contagious to other lodge pole so we clear cut it for a radius of 100 feet from an infected tree it spreads in the roots. My local mills will take it as long as there are not white spots in it.
That’s great information! That might explain groups of dead lodgepole that we see. There are groups of 6-20 clusters of dead lodgepole that have died throughout the property. Doug fir don’t seem to be effected which is our other prominent species. Thank you!
Thank you! That’s a good idea. Getting ready to mill a lot of lumber for the barn. I have a big spreadsheet and 12 lumber bunks, with signs, where all of the lumber will be stored and organized. 😊
Oh, I’m so sorry. This video is from about a year ago… and we were still learning about music and editing. Hopefully, our new ones are better! Please let us know. 😁
@@ourdreaminthewoods it’s no big deal! I’m sure some people like it, but those that don’t, like me , mute it, and then might mis out on important knowledge you are sharing. Keep up the awesome work!
Awesome
Thank you! 😊

That’s a great tip! I’m a little leery of pvc, so I might try metal pipe. Thank you!
I use poly pipe and it works just fine.
Thx for sharing
Of course. Thanks so much for watching! 😄

roof is fine! if metal
Yep, the roof is metal and doing great! 😁
I would dry and see how they turn out. Are you doing a metal roof?
Sounds like a good idea! Yes, we will have a metal roof.
@@ourdreaminthewoods the weight will just transfer to the rafters so I think you will be fine.
Paint the ends so in 3 months you will know what they are. Keep a color chart in the shed.

I say scrap it if you’re not sure. Better safe than sorry!
Definitely! We decided to scrap it!
Check there strength, span a few on horses, check there solidity , decay needs moisture to continue, if u have strength. Waste not , want not !!!!
