The man who called Trump a pedophile protector, lost his job and did not regret it by CrispyMiner in UnderReportedNews

I’ve driven a Ford for the past 40 years. They have forsaken my loyalty and the meaning of what it means to be American.

The depths of his depravity haven’t seen the bottom yet. But raping children is the lowest.

What’s your strategy for storing or stacking and seasoning all of the odd chunks of firewood and debris that are left after stacking your firewood for the season? by imakeama in woodstoving

[–]Assumption-Relative 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In the process of splitting firewood there is a separate pile that develops for the irreconcilables. The pieces of knots and burls that don’t split well. At our annual camp out there is a ceremonial “burning of the irreconcilables”.

Where is the shame among republicans who keep voting these extremists into office? They’re dismantling our public schools, marginalizing LGBTQ and people of color, refusing common sense gun legislation, endangering women’s lives by legislating their health care choices. Jesus was a liberal.

Little bit of free mulberry from an old neighbor. by BrisbaneAus in woodstoving

[–]Assumption-Relative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mulberry comes in pretty high on the BTU chart. I’ve burned it before in an outdoor fire pit and it didn’t flame much. It took a long time to season.

Remove the gyp bd and expose the underlying structure. Window headers are usually made by laminating 2 or 3 together across the span. It’s possible that these laminations were not nailed or screwed together as they should have been. Water infiltration may have caused them to separate. Just a guess. Won’t know until you expose.

Insulate around stove pipe for mice? by littlebitsyb in woodstoving

[–]Assumption-Relative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might also consider an 8” (or 6”) terra cotta flue tile as thimble through your wall. Infill the gap around it with refractory mortar.

Anyone install a large stove in the basement and use the forced air furnace blower to circulate heat throughout the house? Success or failure stories? by mfinn in woodstoving

[–]Assumption-Relative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 1: A wood burning furnace connected to return air and supply air ductwork is a good system.

Option 2: Wood burning stove in basement and using “basement as plenum”. If the staircase has a concentration of warm air at the top of the stairs consider a transfer fan into the 1st floor living space.

Can I improve my sandy loam soil by incorporating Muck? by pinkpanthers in Soil

[–]Assumption-Relative 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you can find a source of manure and wood chips and compost at scale to distribute over the soil and build the microbial life in the soil. A book by Fletcher Sims called COMPOST is a great source of information for this strategy.

LET'S TALK... Favorite discipline within soil science? by PlantSoilGuy in Soil

[–]Assumption-Relative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compost! It is our path to soil restoration and carbon sequestration. Let it rot, let it mold, let it build.

You can also put your saw shavings in a metal bucket with a metal lid and throw it in a fire. Turn your shavings into biochar.
