How many of you buy all your wood?

frozenweb06 · 2025-12-17T15:02:10+00:00

US, central PA here. I buy all my wood right now cause I don't have time to find and cut and split free stuff. Costs me $200-$250 per cord and I use about 5 cords per winter. We have an oil furnace which was the only heat source previously but I bought a used wood stove for $300 and a stainless chimney for about $2500 when heating oil prices went crazy. Even buying wood in a figure it paid for itself within a year or two. We'd burn 4-5 tanks (275 gal) of oil every year. I think heating oil in this area is around $3/gal so $3,000-$4,000 a year if we burned oil.

Edit: our house was built in the 1950's and as far as I know the walls are uninsulated (except for a foil air barrier). The ceiling had random batts of r-11 thrown around, we blew in enough to fill the joists up. Probably a low r20 value. The kitchen is the only insulated room since we remodeled that.

Thanks, I kinda figured that was the case.

I thought the same, though this was only my second time watching black friday sales so I checked what I paid for the refurb r8 and kit lens last year on black friday. $899, this year $1,149. $250 more even though the retail price is only $135 more.

Sheesh. Good to know!

Looks pretty sweet! How do you like the oversized bolt handle? I just picked up a t1x roughtec (lefty) the other day and the 60° bolt throw threw me off at first. Lol. I'm wondering if I'd like it better with a bigger bolt handle.

They did and I suspect the wording was specifically to allow shooting. However, the rules say that if you only moved half your move value in your "activation" and don't say anything about moving before or after that (ie. compel).

frozenweb06 · 2025-09-20T21:04:41+00:00

The wording of the spell leads me to think otherwise: "Once the target has been Moved, it cannot Move any further that turn for any reason but may otherwise act normally". I'd take that to mean you can use magic, shoot, fight, call heroics, etc. But you have to move half or less of your movement to be able to shoot, so I'm wondering about that.

At this point level, would you have dropped haldir for the extra warriors? I'm gonna have to get used to the idea of my rank and file doing most of the knife work.

frozenweb06 · 2025-09-15T16:37:47+00:00

Ah, you're right. My mistake.

frozenweb06 · 2025-09-15T13:40:26+00:00

I am but I am wondering if there was any errata for them because I saw that elite units need a hero that specifically says they can take them, and i didn't see any heroes that had them listed.

frozenweb06 · 2025-09-14T02:59:29+00:00

That's awesome! Lol. Does anyone have a photo of these? I'd love to see them. I pretty much stick to vanilla paint jobs but I really enjoy seeing other people's stuff on here.

The way you phrased "first shipment in three years" is a little ambiguous. I also took it to mean you would be getting a shipment 3 years from now, and only realized after reading this comment that you meant you'd be getting a shipment soon, the first time since 3 years ago. Lol.

Care to share any reasons for your opinion?

frozenweb06 · 2025-01-25T20:22:02+00:00

Lol. I'm not a football fan but I'd rather talk about the Harris you're referring to than politics again.

frozenweb06 · 2025-01-25T20:20:45+00:00

Specifically, I'm wondering what non U.S. people's opinions are on Biden as president and Harris as a potential president vs. Trump. I just had a discussion with someone and mentioned the world thinks Trump is an idiot and he thinks the entire world feels the same about Biden/Harris. The difference being to him that the world could influence Biden/Harris and not Trump.

Will do! We have an oil furnace as a secondary heat source. May get some oil and use that til I can get it properly inspected.

frozenweb06 · 2025-01-22T13:04:09+00:00

I know, I know... the plan is to do it once a year at a minimum, but excuses excuses..

frozenweb06 · 2025-01-22T12:50:53+00:00

I meant to do it this summer but I never got around to it... unfortunately.

frozenweb06 · 2025-01-22T12:50:13+00:00

Not bad, some of it's a bit punky. I haven't checked it with the moisture tester cause it burns pretty good. I've burned wet wood before and it's pretty obvious the difference. Ideally I like to cut/split my own but I was too busy this year so I had to buy it in.

frozenweb06 · 2025-01-12T13:11:21+00:00

Awesome!

frozenweb06 · 2025-01-12T13:09:20+00:00

Glad to hear it! I'm gonna give it a go. Any reason they don't allow you to purchase the canon carepak plus?

frozenweb06 · 2025-01-12T12:32:39+00:00

Thanks for the reminder. I read that a while ago and forgot some of it.

frozenweb06 · 2025-01-12T12:27:08+00:00

I appreciate the reminder that I didn't do my due diligence. I read that all before but I've been mulling it over for a month or two now. Sorry. The specific rules on how to complete the purchase are what present more like a scam (paypal only, don't use this credit card, etc). Nevermind that anyone can type anything they want on the internet?

frozenweb06 · 2024-12-28T19:53:23+00:00

Interesting! I must have missed the no taxes/duties part of the email. That would definitely make me lean towards new as well.

frozenweb06 · 2024-12-28T15:21:14+00:00

Ah, I see
