Need to get a 'proper' bit of kit because most of the wood we have left is thick old oak beams. It is a task indeed to do this job! But good for the muscles although not so good for the back!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-90591714100178863952011-11-03T11:07:51.753+01:002011-11-03T11:07:51.753+01:00Vera-job, indeed!

Seems to me that you do a grand job and have a massive input there.<br />Incidentally, I admire the way you are interacting through the choir. I can understand you enjoying 'You' time away from the daily routine.<br /><br />How do you cut your wood?Ken Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659672111856249878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-82203075118727629392011-10-31T22:08:36.534+01:002011-10-31T22:08:36.534+01:00Jean, I am not sure of how much of a compliment it...Jean, I am not sure of how much of a compliment it was either!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-82732709320986945212011-10-31T17:03:42.035+01:002011-10-31T17:03:42.035+01:00"Vera-job" sounds as though it ought to ..."Vera-job" sounds as though it ought to be a compliment, but I'm not sure either.......!!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-36753948561727963112011-10-27T21:00:26.957+02:002011-10-27T21:00:26.957+02:00Hello John, it's a busy time isn't it, try...Hello John, it's a busy time isn't it, trying to get things sorted out before the winter.

But Lester was careful, the trailer is quite large, and the bins were heavy so all was well. Good idea about the straps, though. Will look out for them although have not seen anyone using them here. And it is nice to have a store of winter feed for the animals.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-43375307937009779672011-10-26T22:56:14.517+02:002011-10-26T22:56:14.517+02:00Here in Canada if the load in the trailer is not t...Here in Canada if the load in the trailer is not tied down, you can get a big fine. So most farmers carry proper tie down straps so they don't have any problems. I carry several of them in my boot, (trunk) of the car. Glad you are stocking up for the winter.Horst in Edmontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523290699599403329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-5913578159538923392011-10-26T14:30:14.133+02:002011-10-26T14:30:14.133+02:00Ha ha, it is amazing how much you can see with the...Ha ha, it is amazing how much you can see with the headlights on!!!
