Aint much.. but

[jollygreengiant]

Okay guys... not sure where to post this. Given the limited amount of floor space I have, I am thinking about a barrel stove for the garage/shop. But, was thinking of doing a vertical one. Does anyone have experience with this?

I have no experience with a barrel stove, but if you are tight for space then is a stove the best option? By the time you account for clearances around it, it will eat up a lot of space.

After two really bad winter storms affected us, I'm trying to figure out some kind of option. Something that doesn't eat up a bunch of floor space, something that will heat that area- our normal winters we don't see a lot of freezes, but cold and damp- 40s-50s with 100 % humidity; so...

Happily reporting we got rain yesterday! Since Tropical Storm Harold we've seen about six inches- almost catching us up on the year.
Speaking of, and since I don't post a lot about it, we can talk about the farm.
Yields this year, thanks to a drought, were off quite a bit. We harvested around 500 pounds to the acre in cotton. That's way off our normal mark. I know we've all seen inflation, but get ready for some bad news- cotton harvest being off, that means price is going up, which means goods will be going up as well. Sad times.

What about a vintage wood stove for heat, Fisher or Blaze King? Great place you have.

 

[FarmerWill]

I am currently looking at a lot of options to keep that old place warm. A lot.

And... the old Voyager in the profile conked out a couple of years back... Shadows are nice... but this one is... well

Nice work. Nice RG. I've got one myself. Appears to be 16" bars on yours.

Yes sir. And I like it that way.

In the latest episode of why mechanics hate engineers… my daughters SUV needed a battery. Yup.

Salvaged a bunch of pallets yesterday. Getting to be a thing with making stuff.

 

[FarmerWill]

So I used some of those salvaged pallet boards and built my last half door. Still need to add some brace pieces to these two. But for the first time I remember, there’s a place to work on stuff out of the weather.

 

[FarmerWill]

And while I was out there. I did listen to my Astros… yes I did. On a very vintage old radio I keep out there. Amazing that modern electronics don’t have to “warm up” to use them.

Looks like I'm going to be doing roof work this weekend. Overlay rolled roofing material with metal panels... fun.

 

[FarmerWill]

Upcycling projects... wife keeping me busy these days. Not perfect-just click-clack stuff.

@FarmerWill How has it been going, long time since I’ve seen your thread. Glad your wife is doing well.
You have been pretty busy with the projects I see. Too bad about the cotton yields hopefully next year will be better. I understand the reuse of wood with a previous life. I just tore down an old pallet myself. I have a bunch of old barn board, actually came from our boathouse that was falling down. I’ve recycled it so far into bed headboards and back plates for coat hooks, display items, picture frames etc.
So you be that guy and keep busy. TTYL

 

[FarmerWill]

See what I get done around the place this weekend. Good to be about. Been a rough period for me at work, at home and all around. Need some serious time in the shop.

 

[FarmerWill]

Farm is starting to look Christmas like... Even the old tin garage has a string of lights....

 

[FarmerWill]

Model trains in the house. Huge thing with me and my dad growing up. Bought a little ready to run N scale rig. Set it up on our coffee bar…. Works.

 

[FarmerWill]

Salvaged these two from the trash at work. Small parts storage? Heck yeah!!!

 

[FarmerWill]

Speaking of work… missed the opportunity…

[FarmerWill]

Yeah.. so.. after the holidays were over.... I got serious about a hobby.
Should have stuck with Harley Davidsons.... They're cheaper!

 

[FarmerWill]

Mail call…

 

[FarmerWill]

Good morning friends and neighbors... apologies for the lack of updates. Work has been chaotic and things have been playing havoc with my schedule... I will try to post some pics later today.

 

[FarmerWill]

Wow... almost two years... dang. Time flies when you are NOT having fun.
Now that I have access again, I hope I can show you guys some stuff and give you an update.
Has not been a fun trip- but its been a trip.
