I've been a carpenter for 35 years, and I've seen many shoddy jobs, looking at the interior pic, it's just a simple framing job but it had that professional touch that caught my eye. A good local construction crew is a real blessing.
I'm not a builder but we are on the same page. Another thing that helped was a really nice batch of the yellow pine.
When I returned to Kentucky last time with my non functioning ms362c chainsaw I returned to the stihl dealer that originally told me that there was no fuel solenoid on this saw to order a solenoid valve. I drove the forty miles back to the store to pick up the valve and told them that it is the wrong valve (black), I said that my valve was white. They wanted to send me out the door with the wrong part. After much debate a Stihl person on the phone told us that there is indeed a difference between black and white and the white ones are now replacing the faulty black ones, with an additional $60 in price. So I had to go back again to pick up the white one. As it turned out I was wrong the valve in my saw was actually the black one but being wrong turned out right because I was now in possession of the right white one. When I returned to Michigan I installed the white one but gas was still pouring through my saw like water out of a garden hose. I threw in the towel and took my saw back to Napoleon Lawn on Saturday and Tim told me that the tech had a week and a half backlog. I told them that won't work and as it turned out I picked up my saw yesterday. The tech completely went over the saw and dried it out and installed a new fuel filter (finer mesh) to go with the new solenoid valve. He got it to run which was all that was required to reprogram the saw to the new solenoid valve. He did reinstall my original coil/computer chip. Shop time and filter $134. So 2 months, $384, 300 or so miles traveled later I was right on day 2 or 3 of the journey, I needed a new solenoid valve. Tim and the tech at Napoleon were the only competent Stihl people in regards to the Mtronic saws that I met along the way.
Despite having a shop to finish and 2 more plots, when I return to Kentucky next week I'm heading for the hills to finish clearing old/new access logging trails and to do something in the gold area.
At the border of the blue 2 acre hinge cut and the gold looking into the hinge cut
I turn to look into the gold. Not so gold at this point more dark and largely dominated by larger 20-30" red maple
I have already taken the hack hammer to some of the big uglies along the 2 acre hinge cut.
I don't have time to spend weeks right now making everything just perfect like I like to do so I'm developing a plan for the time being. My plan is chaos, one of those cyclone bombs is going to hit the woods right behind and above the green travel corridor/old logging trail where I would like to put a stand for northwest winds blowing my stink out over bowl #2. Perhaps a second stand within the cyclone bomb. This should be fun, I'm going to go in and drop all or a good portion of the biggest and the ugliest of red and perhaps sugar maples hangs ups be damned. Stay tuned.
