Im still impressed with the stacking.

@OpenAirAdventure thanks. It makes me want to get out in the woods and fire the saw up. Can't go right now because of the fires....hopefully, they will go away so we can get firewood.

@OpenAirAdventure yeah thanks. It is nice to get a break from the smoke. Felt like I could breathe again. I heard that there were a couple new fires that started with that storm, so hopefully they won't do much. 🤦‍♂️🤞

This is a bad situation for everyone. I sure do hope the rain comes and not all at once. You guys need days of light rain so it has a chance to soke in and not run off.

All the smoke is rough on everything that breathes. Not good, I had heard there were fires here and there and everywhere. Hopefully you'll get some rain to help with that. It did finally cool off here, Around 83 or so for highs. Today was 78 but cools down at night. Well stay safe as you can Josh. Thanks for the update.

@dusttodusthomestead 6 күн бұрын

@genewileyopa that's right. The smoke is hard on everything. We think about our dogs, cows and all the wildlife, etc. The lower 80s and 70s seems pretty good for early September. I saw a report on the fire that said it was 100,000 acres with no signs of slowing down. So, looks like we're in for a long ordeal. 🤷🙏

Sending thoughts and prayers brother I was a firefighter for a long time! A damp handkerchief can help protect your mouth and sinuses from wildfire smoke, but it won't protect your lungs from inhaling particles Wear a respirator N95 or N100 particulate respirators are the most effective masks for wildfire smoke.🙏🙏

@dusttodusthomestead 6 күн бұрын

@patwatersvlogs859 thanks. Yeah, I was thinking of getting some N95s because I don't think working out in the smoke is a good idea. When it is thick like this, I can feel it quick. Thanks for the tips, and I'll be sure to protect ourselves best we can. 🙏👍🏻

Sometimes the smoke makes it all the way to Iowa. Canadas' been having fires. Just all over. That don't give you much to go on with just 6" of rain a year. What is there looks green. Our temps have changed some also. 50 or so at night, but gets up to 80 or so. Has been nice. Are you still working on the tiny house any? haven't heard you talk about it for a bit. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your week end. I did fire up the saw mill this afternoon. Cut one log that was on it.

@dusttodusthomestead 16 күн бұрын

@genewileyopa yeah the smoke seems to make it all over when it gets bad. Temps in the 80s don't feel too bad after all those 100-degree days this summer. Haha. I've done some work on the tiny house, and I need to do an update soon. I'm supposed to be putting the metal roofing on this weekend. It's been kinda slow going project with the way my summer is going, but we're getting there. I'll do a video soon. What kind of log did yiu have on the sawmill? Was it the one you cut down right there on your place? Was that last year or year before?
