Not sure that's a better deal than the wood depot kiln dried stuff.
But then again, may not need much firewood for the rest of this season.

just chase the 'free wood' from the arborists... i fueled ~6 camping weekends with 1 tree so far from that.

For sure there's cheap and free out there.

I got an entire truckload of spruce logs for free. But later realizes that these massive logs were too knotty to split by hand, so I'll be renting a log splitter, which will cost me more than presplit seasoned firewood would have. And this stuff is really fresh, so I'll need to store it until next summer to let it season.

It's expensive being cheap some days.

Hate this heat. Came home today to get my kid to a doctor appointment. Exterior temperature was 35, transmission temp hit 101c for a while, then was steady at 99 for quite a while. I prefer it lower. Hurt my heart, even if the truck didn't seem to care.

I’ve been keeping my trailer out of the garage and on the driveway for about a month because of finishing the basement and I went to use it last Friday and I had found that some idiot had filled the lock in with epoxy resin. Ended up having to sawzall the lock off.

Your neighbours sound nice.

[nzwasp]

I’m thinking it has to be kids because the neighbors could of just reported me to 311.

Anyone know where I can find Calgon or something similar to use in my black tank?

[ExtraSlow]

No, but the original dawn you need is at Dollarama Beddington.

Wtf is that for ?

[ExtraSlow]

For the black tank. Supposed to help reduce deposits that can form in the tank and on the sensors.

Look up GEO method, or check out :

I basically just use water and a squirt of dawn occasionally. Not sure of the benefits either way.

Just back from Dutch creek. The smoke must be keeping people home, as it wasn't busy at all. Used the propane fire pit. Smoke made for pretty pictures.

Nope

[ExtraSlow]

Huh, looks like you are right. I haven't been into Peter Lougheed for a while as assumed it would be under a full ban like further south.

Carry on......


Brent, how much ya need? I have too much, could hook you up with some in exchange for beer. Dry as hell too, since it was last year's Burnco stuff, and it's been stored in my garage since then.

[Brent.ff]

Uhh what does $20 of cheap beer get ya?

Just put my trailer in the backyard from my driveway, about 5 seconds after I left the driveway the trailer popped off the tow ball (must of been sitting on it half way) and kareened into the bumper of my SUV luckily it didnt pop off and kareen into a neighbors house because it had those 2 sway chains attached to it. It also had yanked out the power cable and now one of the lights on the back doesnt work when my 4 way flashers are on so I will need to get that fixed before next season, anyone got a good electrical guy to get that repaired, because I should replace it it was dragging on the ground on my last trip and the road burn took the outer sheathing off the wire harness. Only a couple of scratches on my bumper so luckily despite the amount of noise it seemed to generate my car and trailer both seem to be mostly ok.
