Yea there are a few sticks of white birch in the pile, I prefer yellow birch over the white, what conifer you mean, there are jack pines and spruce, the big one is a pine, not sure, don't know my trees that well....lol

I just cut them as is for the most part, climb on the pile, start at the top and work my way down. I'm totally shocked that the truck driver came down the driveway, bought it all off a guy, $2,000 for 15 chord delivered, semi had about an hr drive from where it was cut. Got another 4 chord or so on the other side of the yard to cut up also, so I have about 20 chord here.....

I'd say he flipped the block over then got tossed off the bike onto the block.....

Got myself another project to get done

Wow....well we know its a 2007 trx 420 fe though.....

All those arrows are pointing towards my house.....lol Was 12C here today, everything is melting fast....

I'd do it, that lift can handle the weight....lol

Ice isn't thick up here either, didnt get cold enough for any length of time before the big dump of snow.

My bikes usually get a wash when we play in the river....lol

I need to build this now...

Yea, a 48" natural gas pipeline that is 50 miles long gives off quite a bang. They have to have Emergency Shut Downs now in the lines.it took them 12 hrs to bleed down the pressure on the pipeline before we could cut it open to replace it. The yellow one in the pic was running at about 700 psi when I was sandblasting it. They knocked the pressure down for me to work on it.....lol

Usually there are markers on both sides of the road, about 3 ft to the side of where the pipe is buried, they don't put the markers on top so someone can't push the markersinto the pipe.

I don't think that's a vent, more of a marker for location, is that beside a road? And I posted that I pipelined in that thread....lol

Sidebooms like this one lower pipe into ditch.... We are digging this one out for replacement at the time, worked on that same line 3 times with 2 companies within 2 years, same line was washed out in the 2013 floods

They don't lower pipe into ditch with stationary cranes and pipe cradles, the pipe in my picture is being pulled towards the sideboom in the front.

The drill guys know what angle they come up at, so they are feeding the pipe into the hole at the same angle....

If they do an air test on a pipeline that size a compressor on the deck of a 53ft high boy shows up...

They do either an air test or fill it with water and pressure it up, make sure it holds for 24 hrs. On smaller size pipe we used to soap test them at 100 psi, or shrink a heat sleeve over the welds, that is messy if there is a leak but its neat to see the sleeves balloon. On pipe that size all the welds are done with a machine now and x-rayed then there is a 2 part epoxy coating applied. I started pipelining in 97 and have worked on lines from 2"-48".

Thats part of an install, on big jobs they have hundreds of crossings like this one.

Yea, that would be the pull section, and by the sizes of the cranes its heavy wall pipe. Those cradles are heavy, I had a hard time moving them around without a piece of iron...

This is just an awesome pic.... looks like a river crossing bore, directional drilling...

If your tall enough, you just pee in the sink.....😆 🤣 😂

Lynx tracks not far from home here, they are about 4" wide.

Too many coors lights will make them shift funny also....

If you know of a shop that can crimp the ends on hydraulic hoses I'm sure it can be done, might be how I fix my busted hose.....
