I'll still be burning because even at those temps, the boiler will kick on....but I am enjoying the lack of single digits
Came home from work the other day to one of Eversource's tree trimming contractor's looking at my trees. He said we need to do some tree trimming will you consent. I said no problem will you leave the big stuff and chip the branches. He was like will you put that in writing as they rarely find anyone that check's the box "leave wood on site"....

Hello CT firewood people. I am trying to move from my house in Wolcott. I decided to sell some of my wood to make clean up and such easier.
See pics attached and let me know if interested. I have some split, some rounds, logs, etc...
Too busy painting and cleaning and such to deliver, so let me know what you are willing to pay to come get it and I will reply.
Thank you

Just checking to know, Did you file the rakers down as well? The saw teeth need to be kept with the correct depth ratio -Cutter Edge and Depth Gauge (aka-Raker) If you did that, either bring the chain to a place to sharpen on a machine or time for a new chain. Lock Stock & Barrel in Bethany charges 8 bucks to sharpen

Connecticut firewood from back in the day - I can't remember the horses names, but my sister Vicki is on the back of one - My uncle Pete is holding on to me, they used to cut firewood about a mile up on the mountain, brought it all down with the horses. This pick is about 1956 or so.

What town was that in? Which mountain? I see you are in Kent. Was it out that way?

The photo was in the barnyard of the family farm here in Kent - My grandparents bought the place in 1908 - We still own it, our kids moved into the house this past year, 4th generation there. We live right next door. The hip roof behind my head I just re shingled for the 2nd time, got 30 years from the last one \ In the house was a big old Andes kitchen stove, most of the meals were cooked on it. In the dirt floor cellar a huge old wood furnace, with a 4 x 4 ft cast grate in the hall above, we were never cold. You could dry wet gloves in minutes on that grate.My mom probably took the photo with a black square Kodak camera we had.
Hello all. New here, from Killingworth. Burning a older Dutchwest Cat stove. Mixed feelings on it after 2 years.
Cut all my wood on my property so far. Maples and Oaks. Split and stack it out back, transport about 3/4 cord at a time up to the house with the tractor. Got about 7 cord split and stacked, 3-4 cord to be bucked up and split.
Here's some pics of my tree cutting and firewood from the past year.
And the stove, the day it was put in, the final touch on the remodel.... Sits about 1' deeper in the fireplace now as its not hooked up in the pic.

Welcome. Nice set up. Wish I had the room for a tractor like that!

Nice 3ph splitter on the Massey Ferguson. That looks like it was a lot of fun, playing with your tractors, I mean processing your wood. I need more seat time on my tractor.
