Yes Markus. No free energy, only freedom if you are willing to put some effort in. What about your freetine and woodpile if you are driving a Nissan Micra instead if the V10?
Haha, just kidding, I love the V10😀. I am jyst blabbering. Hope it will change some day. JO said it right. Congrats Markus. Hope to see more of your work. GoPro is top.
I picked up a 20x30 this summer. It came with a heavy white covering. I plan on using it to store hay in… it was damaged in a storm and probably half the hoops were mangled. (Covering is ok though) I didnt realize it when i bought it. That it had been damaged before and someone attempted to cobble it back together. They attemped to weld the galvanized tubes without cleaning up the surface first. So its pretty sketchy. And failed in a lot of the same spots.
Im on the hunt for some tube or pipe of similar diameter to bend into replacment hoops. Wish i could find a sorce of local oil well pipe. Use to be able to pick that stuff up very reasonably… not anymore! …still looking.
I thought about using top rail… lots of people are.
But i want to leave mine up all year long and i dont believe it woukd take the snow load…even if i tried to keep it brushed off.
There are quite a few hoop houses around here and we get a lot of snow. They all use some sort of center support. one or two posts depending on how the aisles are configured. They hold up fine. Even the 30 foot wide ones, which most are. If you guys like indoor gardening video’s watch this guy. He seems to have quit making videos now but I find him the most entertaining.
I tried it out and the fines pieces of wood falls through the holes. Cost $00.00
I like when plan comes together and works.
Roy is out cutting more cherry wood branches and limbs out of the cherry trees. I need to get chunking wood to make room in the pile space for more wood to pile up and dry in my pile. This is where I need a young buck of a man here to want to take part in Gasification part of making fuel. The only one I know is Marcus and he is way to busy with his family life, working a job, and working on his own wood supply for his gasifiers.

Thanks Cody, yes if all of use members lived with in a few miles of each other we could form our own new type of DOW country with good laws that would give the gasification people all the good tax breaks and heating homes with wood. Keep the whole country in trees and farming land. People will not have to pay any carbon taxes. The factories would make gasifiers of course and parts for them. Wake up Bob you are daydreaming again.
Heres a up date on the shovel with holes.
It does not matter if I am chunking wood or making charcoal at night around the firering like I am doing right now. It is 07:20 pm. and enjoying it with the little Dana. It is all good to me. But driving on wood is the reward of it all for sure. With a Big,Big SWEM going down the road and knowing everyone else at least where I live, is not SWEM ing DOW. They simply can not do the DOW SWEM like I can. Got Lemons? Have Wood Will Travel.

I love those hay forks Wayne, but I do not like the new price of $60.00 plus tax at the store for them. I have been looking for a used one for about 6 months now. Have not found one yet. But I am still looking. I have found three, four, five prong ones no go for picking up wood chunks except the really big pieces. I thought about making one.
Bob
Mr. Wayne. you probably still have some pitchforks and a shovel in reserve, because depending on how much wood you move, the material wears out and the tool needs to be replaced,…
60 dollars would be 11 gallons of non-ethanol gas for me Bob. My snowblower, log splitter and saws will go through that before spring. That pitch fork would outlive me by years. Just a matter of perspective.
