ParticipantSorry for your loss. You and your wife are in my thoughts and prayers. So much we don’t yet understand.
ParticipantMy brother is building a cord wood saw mill shed with a field stone and mortar foundation. He plans on buying the mortar and steel for the roof. I think he plans on mortaring today should be cheep. Eli
ParticipantShe does almost all the work with our horses she even drove to pick up horse yesterday ( she has her temps) I hope she can somehow make a living out of what she loves, I believe she has a gift (I may be biased) with animals. Agreed it is good to see young people working with animals I see to many depending on mom or dad for everything. I tell my kids I will help with everything but won’t do anything. Eli
ParticipantI think we should try to live oil (coal gas nuke to) free one day then we would find out if we are addicted or not. I would be the first one shaking, But I would live. Eli
ParticipantFinding work is only part of it charging is another, I always seam to do everything for free. Eli
ParticipantCheck out Geo thermal heat if you put the water into a stream or pond it is much cheaper to install($13000). I have an old farm house and I love mine.I heated 100% with wood for 22 years . House, milking parlor and shop = 22 cord of wood. Now I burn 5 to heat my shop. I have a neighbor with a straw bale house interesting and cheap but I never got to really check it out. Good luck.
ParticipantI was thinking was using nitrogen or co2 to pressurize a vessel full of oil hooked to a cylnder to raise it and then exhausting the gas to lower it down. If I didnt use oil it would build pressure then spring out of the ground just like an air cylnder. Eli
ParticipantSorry my bad. But welcome and good luck.

ParticipantGood luck to all in Sandys path. My son is headed to Dover Delaware Air force Base in a few weeks but is home in Wisconsin on leave. He missed the storm by two weeks, anyway good luck to all.
ParticipantI had a husky 372 xp for years it was a good saw now I run Dolmar saws also a good saw it was more of a dealer thing. I thought husky and Johnsered were made by the same company as long as you buy the commercial saw it is the same as a Johnsered they have a chromoly piston and rev higher. I need a saw that is falling limb proof. Eli
ParticipantI remember asking my father what they did with their horses when they got old, he said they didn’t throw away 1800 lbs of meat. My father always spoke highly of their horses and I believe he truly cared for them. The body goes but the spirit lives on. The spirit of his horses lived in every story He told me, just like his spirit lives in my story. I would rather be respected for how I lived than rembered for how I died. Eli
ParticipantThat’s cool I do service and refrigeration work all over northeast wi and know the area well. I checked out your web sight and like what your doing. I own 234 acres and dream of farming part of it with horses. I am in the process of training one of my curly horses to drive I hope to pull a sleigh with her this winter. Who knows maybe our paths will cross in Brussels on day. Eli
