    Hi...are they back filling without water?

  • @FromSteelToWood
    @FromSteelToWood2 ай бұрын

    Yes they are! But there is great precaution about that. The water was added only a few hours after that. And they used net 1/2 in crushed stone, so no need to compact. If they had to compact, they would have to fill the water along. Thanks!

    tres bon video ! combien de corde passe tu par année environ dans la fournaise ? brule tu seulement du bois dure et sec ?

  • @FromSteelToWood
    @FromSteelToWood4 ай бұрын

    Bonjour et merci! Je passe environ 30 cordes (équivalent à 30 cordes de 16 pouces). C'est environ les 4 rangées de 18 pieds de long, 3-4 pieds de large, 5 pieds de haut. Mais par contre, il faut savoir que je brûle du sec et du trempe. C'est aussi du petit rondin, allant de 2 pouces jusqu'à 5-6 pouces au plus. Et souvent du bois de 2e grade, pas très sain. Et puis une bonne partie de résineux au travers. Bref, de la scrappe! Sinon, si c'était du bois franc, sec, de bonne qualité, ce serait probablement environ 20 cordes. Si vous voulez m'écrire, je peux vous en parler plus sur mon installation. ([email protected]). Merci!

  • @FromSteelToWood

    Hello Mike! It's indeed 100% white ash. Maybe one maple that went down while it got entangled in the felling tree and some black ash too. This is going to be at least 80% maple when I am done. The ash is getting now seriously attacked by the EAB. That area could be one day a maple grove, there is plenty enough maple for that. Thanks!

  • @FromSteelToWood
    @FromSteelToWood5 ай бұрын

    Yes sir! Sliding doors on the inside and it works very well. You might also notice the angle iron at the base that guides the door. Then in the middle, you can also add a rubber to avoid the snow to come inside. Only downside to it.... you cannot store anything on the inside walls next to the doors that is not self standing! No hooks there for a shovel! Thanks!

    @FromSteelToWood5 ай бұрын

    Hello Mark! I do have a lot of white ash. 3 years ago, the ash were not infested yet. Now it is starting to kill trees. Two years ago, I spent half a day with my wife marking the trees that did not have leaves in it in August. Now I can spot them by the holes the wood peckers do in the bark. The more it has, more likely it's dying. In that portion of my land, the majority of the trees are maple. So I simply cut all the ash trees. Thanks!
