Too much wood

Just that too much wood.  We had the splitter going for 9 hrs and still only got 2/3 of the wood split. But lucky we phoned the rental place when we realized it would not get done in one day.  And got the splitter for the rest of the long weekend.

Took today off for Thanksgiving but we will be hard at it tomorrow morning starting around 8am.  Don't forget if your free drop by and help out.  We had a lot of fun working together splitting , stacking wood, and just having a great day working together.

I want to thank all who came out on Saturday , especially a young guy from down the street who saw what was going on and came and joined in to help.

Ok if you can see you tomorrow morning.

The 5 min job

Well as you know we have our wood splitting work party this Saturday.  And I reserved to rent a wood splitter from the local rental shop. 

I enquired as to what size ball I needed for the wood splitter and was told you need a 2 " ball.  I looked at my truck and it was a 1 7/8" ball.  So I bought a new 2" ball.   

So unscrew the old ball , put on the new ball, 5 min job right.
Wrong.

I went to use my wrench on the ball but the lip of the bumper on both sides didn't allow me to get it off that way.

So I didn't have a socket big enough to fit that so had to drive to a friends house. 

   We used the socket got the ball off and went to put the new one in , and guess what.   the shaft of the 2" ball was bigger than the hole on the bumper.   GRRRRRRRRrr

So now to track down a ball with a smaller shaft, take the other one back, then back to my friends to use his socket again.   

The time was just under 2 hrs for a 5 min job.   Don't you just love those simple jobs.

Ok well tomorrow we dig in and work together to get the wood all stacked and moved to the new wood shed.   Hint Hint.
come on by.   remember pizza for lunch.

ok till next time  

someones fence

Remember I said I would post what some people put in their yards for decorations.  Well here is another example. Again this is on their fence.  The house is on the main street of Ft. Langley, BC.

wood party

A big job that needs a team to get it done.  So we have another wood splitting party.  We did this a couple of years ago and it went well. 

We rent a wood splitter , and then have a lot of people to load the truck and drive it up the driveway.  If enough show up we will wheelbarrow it around back and load up the now empty new woodshed. 

  Wanna help   well come on by.  We are having pizza for lunch.    Ok see ya there
