Yes winter is back upon us here in the Pacific North Wet.
To my benefit a recent CraigsList find landed me a nearly new 50,000BTU heater for my shop. 15 years I have suffered in winter breathing fumes
from a propane portable shortly coming to an end. Yeah!!!!!
Now I am forced to consider finishing the un-insulated walls and roof.
More is better, right?
Some heat will certainly improve my willingness to venture out to the
shop through the winter months.
The bank still has not turned off my card and Shirley is pouring, so
grab a drink while you can and celebrate a warm shop with me.

I had to post something to offset Daryl's SPEW and wish him a Happy (off-topic) Fuck You.

Hopefully you binned him ... I did . As far as R's go , get as many
as possible in the space you have but don't overdo it in the walls .
Putting 6" in a 4" space is just a waste but the more the better in the overhead .
We're geared up for winter here too , I have over 4 cords of firewood cut/split/stacked and covered , with several trees marked for harvest
that I haven't gotten to yet . I decided to take some time off firewood
duty to get some cleanup done and to play with my new toy . My wife just sighed when I told her I wanted a plasma cutter ... I ended up with one
of the CUT50 variants with pilot arc for just over 2 bills and I love it
. My blacksmith/welder neighbor liked mine so much he had me order him
one .
HolyShit , it's time for another round ! My turn this time ...

rounds.
I better get after it before Geoff wants his splitter back.....

I'm shooting for another 4 cords before year's end . I'd like to be a
year ahead ... seasoned wood burns so much cleaner and heats better .
I've also changed the way I stack my wood , I'm leaving about 6" between
rows (5' tall and 10' long) now and it's drying much faster .
Streamlining my processing system has helped a lot too , battery powered winches and portable jib cranes have made me more productive and saved
my back a lot of pain . "Wood , the ultimate carbon-neutral renewable
heat source."
