If you need extra of that stuff I think I have a short piece, maybe 4-5ft left over from my duck coop.
 
Dave, how was the fair this year?

Maybe we can make a swap. I'll send you some oak and you send me the antlers.

Thanks,
Had just enough, 15 feet left over from the damaged ends, of course I saved it. maybe I can take it to moose camp & cover the firewood out there.

Had a great time. Good fair. Lots to see as usual. I always stop at several booths & bs with them. Learn lots of things that way.
Good acrobats show, good juggler, & the lumberjack show is always fun.
Rides are marginal to the lower 48 amusement parks but the kids have fun, I do the ferris wheel (like the view) .
Great food.
A great human body display, actual human taxidermy, & parts with a good description & a doc on hand to answer questions.
Big cabbage for the display was only 60lbs or so. (easily fills a wheel barrow though) Weigh in for the" big ones" is later this week.
My turnips & potatoes are bigger than the ones that won the blue ribbon.
Always amazed at the variety of fruits, veggies & berries grown here, Some do great & some ok.

I like the farm animals, I see bacon & eggs, sausage & pork chops & steaks LOL :)
Bidding on them is usually won by business, high dollar, but to a good cause, FFA kids.

May go one more time, near the end, to see the other stuff that gets brought in.

"OAK for Moose antlers ?"
Deal!
Got several, a cord , 1/2 cord, or P/U truck load of oak per set ? ;)
 
Actually not all that cold here, most winters we get down around -25* and that's it. I grew up in northern Maine and winters seemed to be colder there... and much more snow too.

I burn about 3.5 cords a winter and heat the house just with wood.

Did give some thought to take an ISO container, the 40ft ones, cutting out one side and making that into a wood shed. Would hold about 10 cords.

Not last year . . . warmer than normal temps and definitely not as much snow . . . even The County didn't get as much snow until quite late in the season . . . and other than The County and the western mountains there was precious little snow last year. I only rode the sleds three times -- and had to trailer all three times.

And now back to the program . . . shed looks fantastic Dave. I was going to do something similar to my shed, but instead my wife convinced me to simply have a longer overhang with the 2 x 6s and not bother with the downward angle. I think I have a 1 1/2, maybe 2, foot overhang -- it's actually pretty nice since I can stand outside my woodshed when it's snowing or raining and admire (or pick out the wood from the front rows) without getting wet.

Maybe it would be a better idea for me to just come on up and we go shoot some moose together.

Sounds good & probably cheaper too :)
Season is open now, thru Sept 25.
 
I've got my hunting rifle propped by the window. Perfect view to the spot where I had a bag of salt rip open and dump out. Whoops, how careless of me ;)
