    I'd be willing to buy a half cord of almond to help get him up.

    My deck needs a new finish. Although I have re-applied a sealer every year, it's time for a re-finishing. On my walks around BTV, I have noticed a light colored stain that has a light orange hue to it. Anyone have an idea of what that finish might be? I plan on using a stain stripper and power washing the deck to get a good clean start.

    Thanks,

    I got a cord of "semi-seasoned" oak from Rod  (209) 352-4681
    He's out of Sonora, wood from Jamestown.  Nice fellow, give him a ring if you want to store up.
    Semi-seasoned for my cord ended up being about 20% dry, rest stacked for the following winter…

    I might want that almond too… anyone else looking for a partner to make Salvador's trip worthwhile?

    Dry winters and annual raking of Pine needles takes its toll on the trees.

    Every year when you rake Pine needles you expose damp earth that usually dries out within a few days. If the needles were left on the ground, it would be much more healthy for the trees but it would also increase our fire danger.

    I place soaker hoses under the drip lines of our trees during August, September and October every time we come to our cabin. I move the hoses around to different locations for each watering.

    It's good for the trees and we still stay within our minimum water usage fees.

    Not surprising given how little snow we got this year.  Hopefully (for the trees anyway) we'll have a cold, deep, long winter this year.

    I feel like our pines and cedars are browner than prior years and dropping more needles.  Should I run the hose and get my monies worth out of my minimum water usage fees?  Or is my memory just greener than late summer's fatigue?
