Stop it. You know the rulz. ;)

POIDH.

(let's see the hundred year old hatchet head!) (what does re hafted it mean?) (like I'd know) (I'm just a wacko high heeled woman from La La land)
OK, so hafting is the term for putting a handle on an axe, hatchet, or maul. Perhaps even some may use the term for putting handles on knives. So here is a crappy photo of that 100+ year old hatchet head:

A fence makes for happy neighbors :) that's the neighbors fence, the new part they put up this spring to replace a wire fence, because their old one got wrecked in the hurricane last year. They had a whole row of cypress trees that got blown down...I guess nobody ever told them that it is proper etiquette to have the finished side facing out...

A good axe would be nice to have. All I have ever used an axe for was to dig in the dirt, and chop roots.

I've got a nice double bit Michigan axe as well, that one is a real mean looking thing, and I keep it sharp, like all my tools. For roots and clay I have a pick mattock, that's the tool with a long spike on one end and a cutting edge on the other, reminds me of a song...digging in the dirt...

I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was good, mine was excellent.

Last weekend my cloths drier broke, and I was not sure at the time, but my washer also broke at the same time. The drier belt broke, I was able to get a new belt and put it on today, only cost me $10.00. After that I went to put a load in the washer, and all it would do was fill and then empty. So I went to Best buy to just buy a new washer, and of course it was not in stock, I ordered it anyway. I should be able to pick it up on Tuesday though. It is a unexpected expense, but I have no right to complain. My first washer my brother gave me, lasted me a long time I think about 15 years, this one my boss gave me. It lasted around 8 years. So being here for 23 years I have to buy a washer. At least I only paid $10.00 to get the drier fixed though. :)

That pic of my woodpile makes me happy, when we moved in here, the space between those southern pines was filled with poison ivy and Virginia creeper vines. Those tall pines were being choked by old vines that went up to the very tops of them. Some of those vines were as thick as a baseball...I sprayed and hacked away at them all summer long to get them cleared. Some of those vines have runner roots twenty feet long and more, I know because I pulled some of them up. Next year they will send new shoots up everywhere, and I will have to respray and re cut them many times before they finally die off. I WILL beat them into submission :lol:

You can find washer/dryers on Craig'slist from people who had them a few years and are moving. They sell for cheap too.

Yeah I could have gotten a used one for cheaper, but I just went ahead and got a new one, what the heck I have never had a new washer. :|

They don't make them like they used to.

Yeah I know, I still have my old one so maybe I will try to figure out how to fix it, it is a Kenmore. The new one is a whirlpool, their cheapest model. I shall see. :unsure:

E, you've got an awesome old axe, hatchet and maul. That's really sweeeeeeeeeet.

Your yard work is a treat, and I'll bet it smells DEEEEEEEELISH out there with all the tree smellies. Yum. I love tree essence.

Now, about that fence and facing inward outward. We have one that faces inward (don't even know which neighbor put it up as it's always been there), but I'd prefer the finished side to be facing in. Way too easy for someone to scale it the way it tiz. No likey.
