Windy enough out there that I think cutting wood is not a great idea (being under the trees, and with saw going so hearing 'cracks' is doubtful) and I worry a little in the house-- there are trees all around, close enough in some cases...
We'll see if settles a bit... I'll go out with camera at least in a while..

I've spent more time working on videos lately (still haven't got them all linked here) but I have still taken tons of photos...lol
Sunset a few days ago as I was wrapping up woodcutting..

New Year- Dead Chain Saw- Hand Sawing!


Hope you are having a good day, or at least a day of growth!

I can't blame to poor old saw for needing some attention-- it's had years of hard use-- so I wasn't too surprised when I took it in for one issue, and there was a whole list of things it needed. $480+ to fix it, $580+ for a new one-- not right now, that's for sure! They have a smaller model (still a good brand- no point getting a really cheap one that is just meant for light backyard work) that would be around $280 with tax, I think.. probably have to go that route, already a stretch, but some other bills will just have to wait-- can't really go through an Alberta January, February, March without heat in the house!



I mentioned troubles with my chainsaw ( I got the smaller one as a replacement, that's coming up..)- here's a short video showing some of the handsawing we used while without the chainsaw!

On the plus side the weather is (seasonally adjusted) mild this week. On the not so plus side chain saw is in for repairs- my options are a) nearly $500 and a week or so for parts to arrive or b) nearly $600 for a new saw. b would be the obvious choice, but I really don't have either of those sums..lol Asking them if there is a less complete repair that might get me a functional saw for another season or so...(this is to cut deadwood to heat the house).. wish me luck! #winter #CountryLiving


Next video in the series of 3 (which I think is going to be 4 in the end...) from Dec 24-25(26 is the extra, snow was pretty).
It was a little whiter each day, with light snowfalls + rime frost (frozen fog). This is the morning of Dec 25, on the acreage with some sun and blue skies to set off the white trees. YouTube link, Spectra to follow

@Langile
A short video from late afternoon (close to sunset) of Dec 24- after I washed the floors and showered, and before I started cooking! It was around -21c/-6F and snowing lightly but not windy, so it wasn't bad. First of 3 shorts - the next two show pretty frost and light on Dec 25-- stilll working on those..
