In business 101 we learned that the cost of a product was comprised of raw materials and labor, and incidentals like fuel, depreciation and overhead. What I am...
I am huge fan of geothermal, and found this article interesting. I am not really familiar with wood buring options that actually will replace a regular furnace...
Of course the wood itself has value but I would not expect ot get a great deal of money from selling wood on the stump to firewood dealers. After all, they do...
Labor and delivery take up most of the cost. In central NYS, If you sell your standing timber, it will get you about 50% of the value, the rest goes to he...
My Tarm is a whole house wood heating boiler. It sits right next to my oil boiler and basically feeds hot water to the oil boiler as long as wood is...
Interesting comments .... thanks. My interest wasn't just purely to make a buck off the firewood, but I did happen to run across some land that was much...
... I don't have the geothermal unit yet. I was going to get one last year, but with the tough economy and not being able to depend on the tax break, I got...
In upstate NY, We pay $60 / face cord (1/3 of a full cord), delivered, cut and split, for year old maple. Steve Spence Renewable energy and self sufficiency ...
It is a business with a very low cost of entry. With Craigslist and bulletin boards nearly no advertising costs. Purveyors can get in and out of business as...
When I was working on my MBA, one of our class projects was to do actual cost benefit analysis on a few local companie when they were looking at upgrading...
Free wood - even with the Costs$$ of the labor of love of cutting, splitting and stacking - beats paying those Arabs for Oil any day!!!. Oil prices are going...
i'm always looking for wood so last week i called tree removal company's and many of them said where do you live we will drop it off for free. so give them a...
I guess I am fortunate. I can buy a cord of hardwood split and delivered for about $ 120. It will not likely be seasoned for more than a few months if that...
You could also look at the price that you would pay for propane, natural gas or oil each month, and offset that against payments on the wooded land. As we live...
Today I drove by a guy's house and saw firewood nicely split and stacked with a sign hanging on it that says Full Cord $80. It looks to be all hardwood too. ...
Hi all- I asked for a Dremel with chainsaw attatchment for X-mas and got a Harbor Freight unit instead. Its a mounted unit with a 3 1/2 in disc stone...
Buddy showed up with one when we were doing storm clean up down in Missouri. We never used it since you have to remove the chain from the saw. A dremel used...
... Man, all the FUD* & CYA BS I'm seein' about ethanol-enhanced gasoline just amazes me. I'm more used to seeing it on the truck & 4x4 forums I subscribe to...
All good points Chris; one caveat. You have NO humidity out there. Here anything heavy SWEATS moisture on cool mornings so while you could go years with no...
... I like mine. It has paid for itself many times already. If I had bought a much much nicer unit for much more money, it still would have paid for itself and...
I use the grinding point on my dremel freehand (I have a line painted on the body of the Dremel for the proper angle) and it's always worked great. Tim...
FWIW, I used to use a Dremel but I got away from it and went to using proper files. No worry about overheating and losing the heat treated temper of the...
... My thoughts exactly. I hold the saw by the bar in a bench vice and use one of those file holders with the angles marked on it. It is fast, efficient and...
Dremal and stone based sharpeners are for quick touch up out in the bush, when the saw bar is to hot to hold for a file session. End of the day pack up your...
I held the chain with my left hand, holding it tight against the channel, and stabilized the stone with my right. Not completely confident this works as I...
Nothing to do w/sharpening a saw. 10% ethanol mix cleaned up the air? My guess - there are far more cars in the last 20-25 years in Denver then the 10% less...
... Yes, hence my support of the cleaner-burning EPA-certified devices. ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I don't remember the...
Perhaps it was said before, butt: if you're using a chainsaw seriously you need to know how to sharpen with hand tools. Ultimately it's faster ( except when...
