Plowing Into The Night w/ AWD GMC C7000 Dump Truck
We got our first snowfall of the winter, so join me as I plow several miles of our private road. I plow with a 1981 GMC C7000 AWD dump truck. In this video, I describe how and why I plow like I do. I'm far from a professional driver, so I just do as what I think is best. It works for us! But since I started so late in the evening, it was pretty dark by the time I got back home.
Today we load about 3 cord of firewood into Elvis, the 1981 GMC C7000 AWD Plow Dump Truck. We needed to move the firewood to make room on the landing for other activities. So we hand loaded and stacked a nice jag of it into the bed. This got rid of a bunch of wood, and will give me weight as ballast for when I plow this winter. It was a lot of work, but well worth it in the end. All total, we added about 4 ton (8000 lbs) to the back of Elvis.

Today I go over and detail how I clean our indoor wood gasification boiler. The process is pretty simple and only takes about 15 minutes. In the winter I do this about once a month. In the summer, I only clean it like this every 2-3 months. This also allows me to give a more indepth look at the function and inner workings of the boiler.

Today I take a look at how much firewood we have burnt so far this winter. I will also look at how much firewood we have left and decide if we will make it to spring. Since mama and the kids have been home all the time, we have been burning the wood stove a lot. This keeps the house warmer and more comfy, but we are definitely using more wood that I expected. Join me as I crunch the numbers on all things firewood.

Elvis the Dump Truck gets the plow removed and filled with fuel. Elvis is a GMC C7000 AWD dump truck that finds occasional use around the property. Soon we will be using Elvis to haul some dirt to fill in the yard. And of course the A-Team provides the usual dose of antics.

Today's video, #83, I cut down a large dead ash tree that did not go the way I wanted. And after it was down, I realize it could have gone much worse. This is the tree that I talked about and showed in video #71, last fall. It was a dead ash, that at the time was still a little alive. But the winter looked like it was rough on the tree as it was worse that I remembered. Several things contributed to make this tree tricky and dangerous to cut. Watch along to see how bad it could have been and how it did turn out.

Today's video, #92, is a simple, no nonsense, old fashioned wood splitting video. I used all of my short, wood stove firewood last winter. So I'm scrambling to get enough wood cut, split, and ready for this winter. As summer gets close to being over, I'm feeling behind. So even though it's extremely hot outside, I still need to get it done. So follow along and see how much splitting we get done.

Today's video, #89, shows how I built a simple half cord firewood rack. The wood was reclaimed from junk skids, all except for the OSB. It only took me a couple hours in the evening to build and it works great. This rack will hold wood for our indoor gasification boiler and allow me to stock the rack when the weather is nice and pull from it to burn when it is not. Or better yet, the kids can stock the rack, and then I don't have to do it!

Today I cut some dead oak along our road. I use my MS261 and MS362 Stihl chainsaws. The largest tree was standing dead and uprooted during a recent windy day. I pull them onto the road with the truck to make bucking and cutting easier. Along with 2 other smaller trees, I get close to a half cord of good, dry oak in about an hour of time.

Today's video, #99, I do some firewood splitting filling up the ole wood truck. All the wood that I have stocked up has to move. And it has to go soon. I divulge the reason that the wood has to be moved after a splitting montage, so make sure to stick around for the closing remarks.
