As I understand it, it is the biggest demolitionsite in northern europe at the moment, and as J-O said it is mostly 316 stainless.

you need a much bigger truck. If you are looking for projects, you could make stainless steel roof shingles for all your buildings.

They actually make them.
It looks like they can coat them with a plastic to help lock in the shininess or else I am guessing there is some oxidation and it turns like a gray color. They are used by the sea because of the salt water. They say they could last centuries.

Wow, really. I thought it was a joke. I had no idea that it actually existed.

It was a joke, but they do exist. it would take quite a bit of work to piece it together from scrap because of the inconsistency of the scrap and even more if they were made to be interlocking like the commercial ones because of the equipment required to do it.

I did not even consider to do that 
I’m wondering who could afford to buy those though.

You just have to do it the hard way.

That is some rich looking soil, Kamil. I’m envious. We are in just about the same boat as Goran. Eleven weeks until the last frost date.

That’s about the same, Tom. The saying here is you have pass the first week of June to be safe. We call those last frost nights “iron nights” for some reason.

We just got a nice dump of snow, and it is the middle of maple syrup season.

I will take this talk here so not to glutter up Wayne’s thread. Here on this side of the State it is a big rip off for solar panels they are permoting it big time. This is to make them the PUD power companies monies for them and not the one who put it up on their homes. Trust the big corps. or Government ? Not me. Just try to pay out as little as the laws tell you to do. We are still paying under $00.04 a kwh here in Douglas County for power plus the monthly meter hookup fee for servives ect. Fish Ect. Taxes Ect. More other taxes. Heating with wood if you have to buy it no way it cost you more per month. We have only loss power here a hand full of times in 18 years on this side of the river.

Pick’ed up this today, a little distraction beside the woodgas-work
Thought i should post it here since there are a lot of two-wheeled tractor friends here.
A Norwegian built Forest-bear, based on a French Moto-standard two-wheel tractor made in Germany, with a Swiss engine, this should probably be named “International” instead of the famous tractor brand.
Going to build a little logging-wagon for it, and maybe a winch.
Can put up some more pic’s of it tomorrow when daylight if theres interest.

Absolutely interested Goran. Seems like there should be another bogie wheel to support that span in the top track. What’s the deal on the differential? a power take off?

Consider yourself lucky, we pay over 10c plus taxes, fees and hookup. The nationwide wholesale cost for electric is 3-5c/kwh.
Solar is nice because you avoid some of the taxes and other fees, and once you consider it ‘paid for’ it is free. The biggest issue is to really avoid most of the fees, you need storage which can be pretty pricey. However, most people in our area have whole house backup generation, so instead of buying a whole house backup system, it is a better deal to install solar plus storage because you can use that whether or not the power goes out and it actually does have a payback period so it should end up paying for itself.
We have other local issues with permitting costs as well.
