CoastalWx Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Cool morning, warm and dry aftn with another cool night. Great stuff. Looks like the heat struggles to head to the northeast, but next weekend looks warm for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 My wif'e's wearing me down on her quest to get a pool. I really don't want one---yet here I sit monitoring the amount of direct sun different areas of the lawn get. By virtue of me doing that that, I'm afraid she might have won. Ugh. Crazy how wives can do such things..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 A beautiful day in the pocket today, let it rain during the workweek. Mike - I believe the technical term is "whipped". Perhaps you'll have to take down a tree or two. Get your wood supply set up for 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you'll have to take down a tree or two. Get your wood supply set up for 2021. LOL. Her first location choice has her tag 8 trees to take down. I told her I could live with taking 7 of the 8, but the 8th was a deal-liller. Of course, that 8th one was the most problematic for her desired placement. I was pleading my case for another location. My arguments included "look where the sun is--there's no way those can cast a shadow on the pool". My favorite argument I made was "our prevailing winds are from the west, nw, sw. Leaves will be blowing away from the pool." FWIW, both her location and mine are still in full shade.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Plenty of time for heat last week of June and July, it's still Spring.... Agree 100%. I find it helpful for me to consider how I'd think six months from now awaiting true winter cold. How many people would be tossing winter at this point? There'd be several nay-sayers, but most would just compalin that the real cold and snow would arrive in due time and to be patient. That said, I'll take the lack of heat as long as we hold it off and eagerly await the arrival of the cool season once it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Mike cuts wood all year it seems. About 70% of our heating is through wood, so I need to continually maintain the supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Had +16/+16/+10 for June 1-3, and -3 to -6 since then, with highs 60 to 70. Currently June is running +2.6. Garden awaits some sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Do you have oil or gas/propane? We have an oil burning steam heat in five rooms. We installed electric in four rooms that were not on the heating system, and we have one that we have yet to heat (a guest room that we deal with a portable electric heater when needed (not very often). We have two wood stoves which go 24/7 that provide nearly all of the downstairs heat, and keeps the upstairs tolerable as it rises up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it from trees on the property or delivery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 So where do you get all this wood from? Is it from trees on the property or delivery? I cut it here at the Pit. I'm converted some overgraown areas into lawn. So, while I've taken down a lot of trees,I've' provided good spacing for the ones I've left up to thrive (I invariable think of Sophie's Choice when determining which stay/go). Parts are still overcrowded and there's an acre or so that I've yet to touch. So, I have enough to keep me busy for many years. I'd rather allow for old-growth areas to emerge than have a ton of smaller trees that end up fighting each other with very few ever truly maturing. There's nothing like 200 year-old trees. I like to think that by doing this, there will be some magnificent trees here long after I get planted in the boneyard. 64.1/56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
