Too cold for Firewood

[@nmancini]

This is a nice change from the firewood, I’m sure many of us enjoy this as well being self sufficient, having a side hustle, and helping others

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@nmancini yep you are absolutely right. I enjoy plowing occasionally as well but it looks like it will be a regular thing for the next week or so.

[@digger413]

Have fun,don't miss plowing

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@digger413 I definitely have other things I like to do other than plowing.

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

No firewood today, but you are still being productive. 😉👍

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@DanielAtkinsFirewood always have to do something productive if at all possible. I like a sense of accomplishment at the end of each day.

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

@WilleysFirewood : Same here

[@KevinHarvey-qw5mj]

We did plowing also had 27 lots we plowed and salted and hauled the snow away had a sand and gravel company so had the equipment to handle it all bad ones was the federal building and federal courthouse had to dig a car out of a 25 foot drift was next to building so had to be careful sold business so no more of that stuff don't miss it just the money have a good one Russ before helping my friend at tree company i am a retired million miles driver but get on here and enjoy watching what everyone does thanks for posting my friend be waiting for the video when you can post it without freezing yourself and Kevin

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@KevinHarvey-qw5mj tomorrow will be warmer and we will be back at it for sure. I don't miss commercial snow removal. I do only residential as I only have to rely on myself showing up.

[@KevinHarvey-qw5mj]

@WilleysFirewood it all adds up Russ and people depends on you but be looking for the video tomorrow hopefully you can work but if to cold stay inside thanks Russ my friend

[@Lens-KeepingBusy]

Did some plowing myself today, tractor plowing lol 🚜🚜, quite the drop there 😂, 👍🚜

[@WilleysFirewood]

Russ, great Video as always. Nice Plowing. Hopefully Tomorrow I will be Able to get out and Cut some Rounds up. No way could I have done it this Week. Tomorrow Freezing Rain, Sleet and Snow. About 6inches we are supposed to get. Then Cold and Windy Saturday, more Snow Sunday, Warm up on Monday, more Snow Tuesday, big warm up Wednesday and then another Blast Coming in. I just Ordered more Logs about 1/2 Load. Be here in about 3weeks. I hope to do some Cutting tomorrow as my Firewood is Getting Slim. With a Few 28inch Locust Logs won't take long to get Some. I figure if I get like 10halves of them in at 9 1/2 long, I get like 4 pieces to Burn out of each Piece. Right Now on a Pallet I have 8Rounds that need to be Trimmed and Brought in. I want to replace that though with at Least 10more. I do the Neighbors Driveway for them. I just Salted both of them as to be ready when the Storm Hits. Stay Safe out there, and by all means Careful, and Warm. See you at the Next Video. Ron at the Woodyard maybe Tomorrow I Hope.

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@ronbrooks6681 thanks Ron. Snowplowing is tiring work for sure. I take lots of breaks as needed though. Hope you are able to get some rounds cut before the next big cold snap rolls through.

[@grofffamilyprojects]

Snow just sucks!! At least you are utilizing it and making money with it!!

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@grofffamilyprojects got to do something with it.

[@JoshLeach32180]

Warmed up to a balmy 17.2 degrees today lol

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@JoshLeach32180 balmy was not the word that came to mind today 🤣

[@brandonhoad9033]

You runnin shoes on plow? I have to w the gravel farm driveway. Old sander sure looks a lot like Phil's hopper feeder...😉😉

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@brandonhoad9033 may have been planning to use it for something 🤣. No shoes now because everything is frozen solid.

[@brandonhoad9033]

@WilleysFirewood not here unless it's been plowed. Only about 1" of frost when we dug that grave last week.

[@WilleysFirewood]

@ wow we have over a foot of frost most places.

[@OpenAirAdventure]

Evening Russ. A fella needs to branch out in this crazy expensive world we live in and make money wherever possible.

[@WilleysFirewood]

You are absolutely correct. I am always looking to make a dollar when I can.

[@dennyhart6757]

Snow plowing can be very tiring even though your not doing anything physical labor. Another good way to make some extra money.

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@dennyhart6757 gotta keep the money coming in to keep the plan in motion. Looks like I'll be getting lots of seat time coming up

[@briannagorman3119]

A cover over your splitter I think would help tremendously

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@briannagorman3119 yes we have a cover coming stay tuned

[@jonking8831]

Is that the pit where you operated your Belles Processor years ago? I wonder if the ol lady will let you keep the splitter in the house where it's warm?

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@jonking8831 no that pit is up the road a bit. I want to build a shelter for the splitter and conveyor in the spring with the sawmill.

[@jonking8831]

Good idea. Also, I think plowing is a good break from processing wood all the time. Your still making some money. Gramps doing good?

[@WilleysFirewood]

@ he is itching for the next loads of logs to be delivered. He drives by a couple times a day to see if they have showed up yet 🤣

[@johnphillips770]

I don't know what the issue is, it was 56 degrees here where I live in Wisconsin today, yeah kinda rubbing it in a little, don't worry it'll get frickin cold again, just a tease from mother nature, last week 40 mile an hour winds with 50 mph gusts,burrrrrrrrrrr low double digits, single digits at night

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@johnphillips770 hahahaha it's ok I'd rub it in if it were the other way around. I'm good for a little ribbing every now and then.

[@iffykidmn8170]

We are at a 20" deficit for the season with only 2 plowable events thus far. $😪 basically a repeat of last season.

[@WilleysFirewood]

We have 3 plowable events this week so it will help

[@iffykidmn8170]

@@WilleysFirewood we will be DRY and cold for at least another week.🤮😪

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@iffykidmn8170 bummer. Snow helps me get to the spring rush!

[@iffykidmn8170]

@@WilleysFirewood 27th commercial season have never counted on it but sure is nice when it does.

[@clintdaniel9260]

thats nothing wil come to oh we have 18 in on the wood all the time

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@clintdaniel9260 that's crazy we used to get a lot of snow in the winters but the last 10 years have been a lot lighter than normal.

[@budcanter9747]

Why not put tarps over your equipment in the winter if you leave it outside?🪵🇺🇸

[@WilleysFirewood]

@@budcanter9747 I have a cover coming for it. Tarps blow off as we always have wind coming across the gravel pit.

[@budcanter9747]

@ use bungee cords or some kind of tie downs. The cover you ordered will be helpful.👍🇺🇸
