Perfect! Thanks

Thanks for the recommendation. I have gotten firewood from them in the past. Almond was great for the fireplace. Although they still list “Firewood” on their web site, I spoke to them a few days ago and they are not delivering firewood– at least right now.
Thanks again,
Gary

In my experience, oak is harder to find up on the mountain. But you can get almond/walnut hardwood from Lionudakis down in the valley. At least they used to deliver up to Big Trees: http://www.lionudakis.com/

Yes he does! Totally recommend.

Does anyone have a good recent recommendation for Firewood? I am looking for seasoned Oak. I see a lot of signs for firewood, but most are not Oak.
Thanks

I have an Airens snowblower that is fairly new, but I would like to have it serviced before the snow comes this year. Does Jodie do service on snowblowers and would you recommend him to do so? Having someone come to my house to do it would be great!
Thanks,
Gary

Over the last 10 years, Val Garringer (209-728-0158) has painted our cabin twice. His crews also seal redwood decking and railings. Very professional, high quality work.

Agree. Kevin Dye also painted our cabin and did an excellent job.

Had our cabin painted by Kevin Dye a few years back. Excellent job. Kevin even drove me around looking at colors of other cabins. Very nice guy.

Can anyone recommend a painter. My place could use some TLC.

I removed the posts regarding Abbot’s at the request of the original poster. Apparently there was erroneous, or at least unsubstantiated information being spread (aka Fake News)

What happened to Abbotts’s Snow Removal and what happened to the other posts as gagacabin mentioned?

[gagacabin]

What happened to the other posts on here? Some are missing, or is it just me?

Along this line, last winter for the first time, the snow blower/plow service we use (won’t mention any names as the service has always been excellent) ground deeply into our concrete driveway in spots. Does everyone use similar equipment or are some machines more prone to do this kind of damage than others? Would like to retain the attractive “stamped” surface on our drive if possible.

While looking up snowblower maintenance on YouTube, I came across a quick and easy addition that hopefully will remove my snowblowing frustrations. I’m sure everyone faces the same challenge. While trying to clear wet heavy snow, I’m frequently having to unplug the chute because of snow build-up. This happens when there is a gap between the edge of the impeller (the device that pushes the snow through the chute) and the side of the chute. My gap was just under a 1/2″. By adding a rubber pad on each impeller blade, the gap goes away and so does any build-up. Can’t wait to test this on the first snows.

My thanks to Jodie’s Mobile Repair (209-795-0735) for installing the pads for me. It would not be a difficult project for a DIY’er but I already had Jodie doing some troubleshooting for me so I asked him to do it and he did a great job.

Hope to hear some success stories…
