Been lotsa rain + bad weather here. Expecting 3-4 inches (8-10cm) today & tommorrow. I've been busy re-roofing my house (by my lonesome) since storms de-shingled part of it for me. Same storms killed several folks & demolished Atkins & Clinton Arkansas. I'm using galvanized steel. 28 squares to do (2800 sq. ft./269 sq. meters) got 1600 sf done PTL.
We live in a rural area above a stream (shown in flood) and heat with wood. Built this splitter on my back hoe boom this past winter. Only $25 in it. That wood is Green Ash (Fraxinus Pennsylvanica)
This is the Middle Fork of the Saline River, 30M below our home.
Those chunks of wood in the upper center of the below photo are Hickory I was splitting before this particular rise showed up. Earlier in the day I had my tractor stuck down in there and barely got it out in time. Man was I drawn up a little! Managed to get several loads of Ash/Hickory out just in time. Its a mountain stream and rises quickly.
Thanks for the welcome.
