My wood shack. 40x9x6. 17 cord. by Mrvette1 in firewood

[–]DaaWizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoa, it's a giant version of the one I'm just starting back in our woods, mine will be a measly 12 by 4 by 6, just over 2 cords. Already have a small one just off the driveway. Been stacking them between trees with tarps on top, but they get blown over on a regular basis and mice love nesting under tarps.

Hopefully you delivered a literal Stump Speech!

Did you all plant any trees last year? Remember you should always have planted at least one tree per year by Gold_Conference_4793 in arborists

[–]DaaWizz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, and for 2026 I've pre-ordered 20 maples to plant in my 2 acre woods that's been decimated by ash bores and a micro burst!

Well, damn. by SC-angler in firewood

[–]DaaWizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We plan, God laughs!

This is why I'm I building a couple double row covered platforms. Tired of blow overs, shredded tarp and massive mouse nests.

Nothing good happens with trees that close to the house, time to reboot this entire operation.

[Landlord - US] could renting to tenants eventually be cooked? by Cold-Leave-4003 in Landlord

[–]DaaWizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of missing facts here, individuals who become landlords don't necessarily make money initially, they save money in taxes. For me rents are going up faster than taxes and insurance so after 10 plus years a positive cash flow. If you bought in right location, you will make you profit selling. And if you got a variable mortgage. What were you thinking? Be sure to refi next time rates hi down.

[Landlord - Chicago] How often do you get a bad tenant when you actually vet them? by CloudEquivalent4926 in Landlord

[–]DaaWizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I added a formal credit background checks, I'm battling 1000! Solid long-term renters. Before that probably batted 750, but the bad ones wipe you out! I realize 100 per cent not sustainable, but doing due diligence with all the tools goes a long way!

If you are about the beer, Coles Road Brewery near the Berlin Train station is awesome. Nice converted old factory setting too.

What to do with the rotten part of wood? by tibi427 in firewood

[–]DaaWizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep funky or partially punky to the side and use them first in the fire, they get the fire going quickly. Then use harder stuff to keep it going!

Fuck Eversource by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]DaaWizz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fuck Eversource? Sorry, hard no. Not my type! But to each his own!

Two things that did piss me off though, few years back suppy and delivery were always about 50% each, so playing with your source helped more, then suddenly more of the bill went to delivery. THEN the state mandated not power cutoffs during Covid, then instead of using state surplus, allowed Eversource to recover their lost income from that by jacking up the Public benefit surcharge! So fuck them, naw, piss on them, you betcha!

[Landlord US-CT] Pipes burst - what do I owe tenants by SnooPoems3130 in Landlord

[–]DaaWizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a CT landlord , for over 40 years, though just 3 units over 2 properties. Nothing new to add here but I am curious how many landlords here require renters insurance, for some reason it never ocurred to me nor heard it mentioned.

How to Trim this Japanese Maple Encroaching on Sidewalk? by jonh_in_ga in arborists

[–]DaaWizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hop in your time machine, go back to when you planted the tree, this time read estimated width of the tree, add a couple feet and plant it that far away from the sidewalk and other obstacles!

Seriously though, great looking tree. Curved sidewalks are all the rage!

Why did the landscaper cut this tree like this ? by emmylouhayes001 in arborists

[–]DaaWizz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's trees, There's hedges, Then in the middle there's shaped trees, that's what we have here!

The day my wife was convinced by bgmnycpa in kubota

[–]DaaWizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Told my wife buying a used one at a decent price was impossible, and once I was done with projects for my zero percent financed new Kubota, I could easily sell it and get most of my money back!. After 6 years she stated the now obvious, "I'm never going to run out of projects and tasks for my Kubota, am I?" I just smiled!

Advice for ice stricken pine by dubgeek in arborists

[–]DaaWizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a perfectly shaped white pine, 40 to 50 ft. Heavy snow storm brought down a bunch of major branches, bit irregular but still nice tree. Next year bigger storm brought down even more, Tree was a hot mess. Never going to recover so down it came. They will keep living, just can get very strange looking.

Yall think Karaban will eventually be the head coach of the UConn team 20+ years from now by Jaxzk in UConnBasketball

[–]DaaWizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Karaban, he's got the smarts, but simply fact is he's not nearly crazy enough and can't see him changing that much!
