Never met her but yeah, I liked her too. When MRW said Stinking Creek it hit a bell, I was pretty sure it was Tina that lived there. Did a little search and boon! Should have done that first. Lol

Had to plane some boards this week. I sawed them out of a White Pine tree. If you aren't familiar with these things, White Pine wood is just a step above corn stalks in durability. But they can can be good for non-structural work.

This planer is over 40 years old and in times gone by I had to rebuild the feed rollers on it. I removed all the original chains and sprockets, because when I would replace them with new parts, it was just short time planing until they began to slip. This week I had to buy and install a new drive belt.

I used an old washing machine motor, a transmission out of a riding mower, 4 or 5 pulleys, and a drive belt and it works fine now. Getting the drive rollers to the proper speed was a challenge.

Planing an old board can make it look almost brand new.

Nice work!

That board looks to be a standard 1"x12"x697'. Pretty wood.

Oh, and don't let anybody tell you to mop the floor. It's perfect the way it is.

When I graded lumber I loved when we'd run white pine, didn't have to grade it, just run it

Or after it’s painted.

@Orangeslice13 what's the going rate these days to clear a lot for a new build?

Bout tree-fiddy.

@Orangeslice13 what's the going rate these days to clear a lot for a new build?

5-20k depending on amount of BS

Cool, he won't spend that kind of money on a new torture chamber.

I'm getting ready to head down to South Georgia. I've got that train depot to reclaim. Just need some decent weather. Lol

Remind me where in South Georgia...

Seriously though, we put water in the ground on the property. It was estimated at 4K not including meters. They had no issues and hit budget. We put power on the other side of the easement (40 feet away) should have been 4500. We hit granite and 15k later it was done. The BS factor can really change things

15k for underground or dropping poles? Either way, deer lawd!

It’s in the ground all the way back. Poles would have been 3500. I didn’t want to see wires across the property. I think the cost was worth it in another 15-20 years

Absolutely. Poles suck!
