Quincy,
Is grey water legal in Ireland? It varies from city to city here, but it is almost alway illegal here which is too bad. I plan on running a grey system to the wives garden when I get the house done regardless and hope it never gets noticed. Of course we dont have zoning or building codes or inspecters in my little neck of the woods so I shouldn't have too much trouble keeping it under wraps.
I hope to get some post and beam rafters up today...my buddy brought his crane over yesterday which makes this so much easier(and safer)
Mith,
I missed this on my first reply to you. I have the a "Manual" mill which means I do every thing myself. Roll the log or "cant" on, dog it to the backstop, set the height of the cut, push the blade assembly down the tracks, remove the slab or board, push it back, roll the cant, repeat.
As I said before, it damn near killed me at first, but I stopped being cocky and wrestling the beasts and started using the peavey to turn the cants and taking my time and it has turned out allright. I was also doing some large 25" round logs 25 feet long at one point and that was a bit much by myself. The do make log roller for this purpose made of a boat winch, but I dont have one. I should wrap a rope around the cant and use the FEL to roll cants in the future.
Dougster and Junkfarmer,
I want to be clear here...I don't want to see the Massey in a museum, I want to see it out working...it looks great out there doing what it was intended to do. I have a 1952 GMC dump truck (but no one has suggested it be in a museum) that I run all the time to move slabs, logs, dirt, rocks what have you.
Old Iron still gets it done, it just looks better doing it.
