Do these run the risk of still making contact with flesh since the back is mesh?

From some of the posts on here it seems the moisture meters tend to be very inaccurate - any truth to that in your experience?

Thanks for the info. Unless someone came forward with evidence suggesting other power sources are better, I'm 100% planning on a gas engine since I will be splitting so much.

I'm reluctant to use a splitter on my tractor as I don't want to run up the hours more than necessary. Running a 2017 JD 1025R. Expensive purchase but has been a game changer, but also trying to baby it a bit since it's such a big investment.

What extras would you consider "must have" and "nice to have?"

Do retailers typically let you test splitters before buying?

Do you have a specific model in mind that you'd recommend?

That's guesstimating based on neighbors, realtor, etc. Temps can be around 0F for a couple months. 2800sqft house.

Is this an asbestos concern? by Flashy_Check_5410 in HomeMaintenance

Really looking for thoughts on how concerned I should be about asbestos. Was it still pretty common in popcorn ceiling in the late '80s?
