LAST LOAD OF THE SEASON -

[@colleensfarmadventures4176]

Those new pallets will be Val approved!!💜 Why you might have to adopt Jack. You’ll miss him when he gets done. 😁

[@JoesFirewoodVideos]

It’s good that selling firewood is a side gig for you, us full time firewood sellers need to have ready to burn firewood available year round. But I know if your family depended on you selling firewood to support them you would make it happen. Fricken pallets, they just don’t last.

[@joshtaylor4240]

Great video Brad, if you’ve got access to a magnet on wheels might be worth running up and down the newly paletted rows to get any nails the old pallets let loose while moving before your moms lawn mower tires find em. Have a great week!

[@fatefarmspa]

Doesn’t look terrible compared to the video of the day you had the event😂. That’s where track skid steer comes in nice running the ground in. 👍

[@jasonpinnix1905]

Brad cut the bladders and put the plastic under the new pallets . It sure helps keep them from going into the soil and pallet will last longer .

[@adirondackwoodsman]

Sorry we missed you Val, but Brad took great care of us at the fellowship. Have a great day guys!

[@mikemccormick3764]

Nice use of those ubc metal braces 🤙🏻. Should hold up real well.

[@NormanStrobel]

Brad On the totes cut about 1ft off the bottom and try selling as raised garden beds.

[@stevensfirewood8658]

I started using those metal bars last year the same way and they work well. I build pallet cribs to hold my wood and fill them from a 24ft conveyor and they hold the weight.

[@danshouseofsmokeandoutdoor7119]

I am going to start using my ibc at ends for my stacks. I keep all my nasty and cut off in them. Keep up the good work.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there yes we sure did get a bonus week , got alot done here as well , got a good helper there , best to all john

[@billobermeyer660]

Glad you have a good supply of totes to replenish the yard and great idea on the metal supports!

[@thomasgreene5750]

Perhaps some geotextile cloth and gravel in the main work area would improve the working conditions and save you some time that could be put towards firewood production.

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Nice use of the metal supports !!

[@yorkfirewood]

Love the idea of using those supports. I've kept some also, figuring they could be used somewhere in the future. My pallet "yard" is also deteriorating, and i thought it was just me since i hadn't seen anyone else have the same experience. Thanks for showing this and your cleanup. And it was good to see Val again. At least in a video!

[@nmancini]

Good idea reusing those supports. We all need a buddy like Jack around, he will have those rows cleaned up in no time

[@LogCabinFirewood]

I really like the reuse of the IBC tote supports. I thought it was a really thoughtful idea when I took notice last weekend too. Few more weeks of sun you'll be in good shape again!!! It always gets worse before it gets better 🤜💥🤛

[@chrisfoltz6810]

Great video Brad the wood yard is starting to look better again with all the mud from the fellowship.

[@toddpacheco4748]

Like 👍 always Brad a pleasure watching your videos and the wood yard neatness 😮😊❤

[@FirewoodattheFurnace]

The yard is a source of stress for me right now LOL. I will get it back soon

[@leonardryan8723]

Put lime the muddy area , remember rain make corn 🌽 grow and corn 🌽 make whiskey 🥃 Brad . Big day in the 709 music 🎶 and friends plus we are Irish ☘️ love 💕 our drinks 🍺 on Valentine’s DAY break up 🔝 winter 🥶 season 😊😊. Take care great video Brad .

[@FirewoodattheFurnace]

I saw something about using Lime. Im wondering how much I would actually need. I will check into that.

[@wolcottfamilyworks]

Great video Brad! Amazing idea on the supports. Just had to replace a few of mine.

[@RandallKlay]

Watch for nails in that debris under the pallets.

[@lillysfarmandfirewood]

hey Brad that's a really good idea with metal supports. thanks. Matt

[@debfromthemill6945]

Hello Brad. No snow. We got 9 inches here. Take Care

[@Andrew_From_NB]

Thanks for having us over Brad! Great update! Nice work on the final deliveries and cool use of the IBC brackets! The yard is looking good! See you next week buddy! Take care! Andrew from NB :)

[@FirewoodattheFurnace]

Thanks again!

[@peterljubicich9451]

Excellent video! I like winter but I’m a little jealous watching you work outside in Feb in a sweatshirt. Lots of snow this winter: 40” on the ground after it settled.

[@waynetharp]

I have had decent luck putting another row of pallets on top of the rotten ones. It gets a little more air under them and keeps the pallet being stacked on off the dirt also. The yard is already looking better!👍

[@hallandskidder6343]

Nice setup

[@leonardryan8723]

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY to you and your little sweetie Brad . To bad your out off season firewood 🪵, plus it own February 14-2024 . Brad you got to stock firewood 🪵 to SALE firewood 🪵 from your woodyard. Brad I move over 15000 cords last yrs , I probably got right now off the top off my head in the woodyard 11000 cords put up 🔝. Running 5 semi to pulp mill twice a day . All hardwood come to my wood 🪵 yards for sale .

[@benscoles]

Hello Mr. Brad, Using the bars from the totes is a good recycle, and those will last forever, The yard is looking pretty good considering the mess we left You with,

[@brandonhoad9033]

R they aluminum or galvanized?

[@FirewoodattheFurnace]

galvanized

[@robert.brokaw3829]

Good morning Brad and Valerie - I know the feeling with falling through pallets as you did in this video. Have you thought about using plastic pallets? I know they are more expensive than wooden pallets but they do last longer. Good luck refilling the woodyard and stay safe.

[@lawrencehp1]

Gravel or crushed stone would help your common areas and rows.....

[@gordonoldfield403]

Cut the tops & bottoms off ya tote bladders , cut it where ya can flatten it out with some heat on the corners on a flat surface (concrete) , ya got a cover sheet for 1&1/2--2 cords approx ??? Put a few heavy cookies on top to hold it down !!! 👍

[@davidedwards3734]

Great idea on reusing the bars from the IBC totes!! Hope you get this latge order again next season!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@oldguyfirewood]

Good use of the IBC top bars! The woodyard mud repairs are coming along great Brad. As an aside, I've stopped using wood chips as a surface. I've found that it makes my mud issues worse over time. I've started to put stone down in the well traveled areas and it's a huge improvement.... FWIW

[@waynetharp]

I like how you think!👍 Wood chips just rot and make more topsoil!

[@davidbriggs812]

Cut the bladders and use the sides to close in the tractor shed

[@FirewoodattheFurnace]

I've been throwing that around, but when i dump logs on the ground, I'll end up having stones in the bark that my saw will surely find.

[@oldguyfirewood]

@@FirewoodattheFurnace I understand your concern but I haven’t found that to be a problem. I use crusher run and track it in good then leave a bit of sawdust on top of that.

[@waynetharp]

@FirewoodattheFurnace I left 2 spots dirt on purpose for logs but the stone comes right up to the areas. I went the opposite end and went with 2" stone. It doesn't brake ankles, holds up to weight good and definitely doesn't hide in bark. Best money I ever invested in the woodyard. We had snow melting today and soupy yet I was able to split wood all day without being sunk in the mud!

[@MrLeonard55]

If you get a spray can of clear coat and put a couple of coats on the screws they will last a lot longer.

[@brianellis4964]

Leave the struts straight. Screw the ends of the struts to the top ot the pallet support bars.

[@Fowledcollective]

I do the pallet racks as well but mount my vertical skids with the 2x4 side down and actually put a few screws through it into the ground skid. Has held up pretty good so far! Just be glad you have flat ground, cause I don’t and have had a few blow outs lol.

[@timhiggins4259]

Great idea, I think I’m going to have to steal it. I’ve had the same issue with end grain tear out.

[@willdavidsonakawd3062]

Morning brad!!! Its gotta be amazing to deliver the last load of the year!!! Congrats on that and thank you again for the fellowship cause my parents had an absolute blast!!! Using the metal off the totes was a very nice idea. Also i have a mulch company near by that i just found out about. I can ask if you could get some of their mulch dye totes. Let me know -WD

[@theoldgrumpyone]

Hey Brad, a question about the Fellowship. Is there a reason you have it so early in the year, and not later when the weather could/would be a bit better?

[@FirewoodattheFurnace]

I schedule it during the time when Andrew Easton is traveling through the area on his way to Florida for Vacation. I think its great that he can be hear to answer questions and meet everyone. If in the future I re-evaluate the event, I may have to change the time of year and Andrew might not be able to make it.

[@randyfowler6928]

I did 2x4 on mine

[@leonardryan8723]

Brad put a steel plate on your wood 🪵 splitter and flat out the aluminum tube easy them with a hammer 🔨. 😮

[@shotlifffamilyfirewood]

i just put the bladders on market place for free and they went right away. had like 12 of them and several people said theyd take all of them

[@jamesbainton]

What does TL-2 stand for? Trailer Load? Tilt Load?

[@FirewoodattheFurnace]

Just TraiLer LOL. I numbered everything so that I can keep maintenance records organized

[@jbking6376]

Is there a difference in pricing between green wood and dry wood?

[@FirewoodattheFurnace]

Green wood is $50 less per cord

[@kylesantiago8750]

What size are your dump trailers

[@FirewoodattheFurnace]

They are 7x14

[@mikemccormick3764]

What does that 1st guy do with so much wood in his yard ? Heating ? Thnx…

[@FirewoodattheFurnace]

He heats a big old farm house with wood exclusively. He has 2 or 3 stoves running 24/7

[@terrencejreich]

I find that screws break and use nails instead. Screws have poor shear strength.

[@stannelson2582]

Don’t you have a friend with a saw mill? How about using low quality 4x4 as a base not pallets. They would be safer and last longer than a few years. Just a thing that works well for me.

[@brandonhoad9033]

How is it that a farmer is buying wood? Doesn't have woods? Put bladders on marketplace. Mom let ya put stone in high traffic spots? Hey Jack 👋. Just figured out who Val reminds me of, young Tara Reid

[@LogCabinFirewood]

😂😂😂 howdy Brandon. ✌️✌️
