He wouldn't be selling the cedar up in Oakfield would he?

No, his biggest problem is finding cedar to buy, but he sells cedar shingles all up and the eastern seaboard and some in ME, He has one 10 square order going to GA in couple weeks.

Oh come on now, its Maine, how hot can it be? Come on down to South Carolina f you wanna see what hot is!

And nice cedar!! Wish I had some down here!

I was trying to do some outside house maintenance today, think all your heat came up here, it was over 90* and I sweat at 70*. The good news is only one more day in July............

Has he ever talked to HC ? You're a little out of his normal area, but they remember their roots and can be pretty accommodating for the small operators.

Ditto here too. How come you haven't shown us that before. It is a classic woods truck worth showing off !!!

gg

Just happen to be at the right place the right time this time with my one year old camera phone, todays camera phones makes it possible, glad you liked the video.

Them old army trucks make a good woods truck, I remember 40 years ago cutting wood for someone else who had one, that guy would load on 2 cord of 4' pulpwood in the woods and crawl out with it.

Yes HC Haynes is one of his 2 or 3 wood suppliers. Makes me wonder where all the wood cutters go when paper mils close down and then there are those horror storys I here of big paper companies bulldozing cedar over..........

Just as I got home from work today, son has his 6x6 in the garage and wants me to take a look, says he lost his breaks getting more wood, said he looked around and see's the rear axle is coming out with the break shoes showing on drivers side, on something this big breaks are a must.

So he says that he's been trying for two hr trying to get the wheels off and the wheel nuts wont budge after heating the crap out of one wheel nut. I go you going the right way they might be backwards threads, he goes didn't think of that after he did a number on my breaker bar with a 6' pipe, maybe frustration set in, so we did a close look and the threads are backwards or left handed.

I couldn't remember if the studs was left handed to or not so he heated the next wheel nut up, and with just one good right handed clock-wise yank the wheel nut spins off, I go there's your answer, the one he messed up had to wait till all the other nuts were off. Then I use my 40 year old home made red-neck square socket and with one good right hand snap they all game off, so the next time anyone messes with these two tear wheel stud nuts, make sure you go the right direction or left direction, depends what side your on, the passenger side looks right hand.

Now my son will be busy tomorrow trying figure out why that axle is sliding out........................

Been there done that,usually studs are marked with a L for left or R for right hand. Went through this with a HUFF payloader.

You need more trees! Or a lazier Tax Assessor, the previous owners put this up almost 10 years ago. It still doesn't show up on the tax rolls. It will probably bite me in the *** eventually but I tend to be a Ron Swansonite when it comes to asking Uncle Sam for his permission on how I use my own land.

Couple years ago I added a lean to off my barn . . . the tax person sent me the "Google Earth" shot of it thinking and charging me for the so called additional barn space . . . I had to remind them that it was just a lean to.

Call me paranoid (I am), yet I wouldn't be posting this kind of thing on the internet.
