Gambrel vs gable roof? I'm assuming you want a gambrel roof. I delayed responding to this as I'm no expert and I was hoping someone else with experience on this type of roof would post first. So take what I've got to say for what it's worth. I searched the web for gambrel roof calculators. What I fo...

I've never been able to find water maple listed as an official common name for any of the native maples. But I've heard many around here use water maple as a broad term to cover any maple... I usually couldn't get them to narrow it down to a particular type of maple. So, starting from the top, there...

He got this from a firewood lot. I know it was there for ~6 months. But I don't know how long it was cut before being moved there. I suspect no more than 9 months total. I agree it's pretty wood. But notice the sapwood isn't pearly white. I prefer it freshly felled to get that pearly white but that ...

Sorry, I'm so used to Colorado Potato Beetle problems I just assumed that's what it was. I've seen info on the pest you're talking about but I can't remember where. I can't remember having a problem with them locally. There's two suspects in this document: Home Vegetable Gardening in Kentucky I high...

If someone had bet me a 4-wheeler could move logs that size safely and reliably 5 years ago I would have lost the bet. They've impressed me. But I still wouldn't get them anywhere near slopes. Looks like you can now do some quick snatch-n-grab jobs. 8) I've wanted one several times for getting fence...

Kinda like those old turnstiles for locomotives - never seen one on a sawmill. Some large bandsaws have a few teeth on the back side for knocking off splinters that may snag the blade on drag back. I understand there's a few large sawmills that have two-sided band blades and can cut in both directio...

A few years ago I picked up some cabbage seedlings at a greenhouse. There was one that looked odd. I gave it to my brother. :twisted: As it began to mature we mused as to what it might be. Looked like a government experiment gone wrong. I guessed it was kohlrobi - lucky guess. We didn't know when to...

I don't know that much about circle saw speeds. I do know they typically run lower RPMs on larger diameters. Circle saw blades that use carbide inserts require grinding. Some are ground with a special attachment that mounts on the blade and can sharpen it in place. Some of the softer blades that don...

I'm glad no one got hurt. I had to look up the Easter Sunday tornado you were referring to so I could get a timeline.
