Inventions and Ideas
After 50 years of
spiltting wood with
maul and wedge,
we finally collected
the material we needed
to build a hydraulic
splitter at minimal cost.
A good commercial
splitter will cost
nearly $3,000.00; we
built this one for
$1000.00 and are very
pleased with the results.
We burn wood six months
of the year, and since our
old 100 year old house
has no insullation it takes
about 12 cords per winter.
If you would like the
detailed plans of how
we made it just send a
money order for $10 US
or Cdn. and your postal
address or e-mail for
the instructions.

We enjoy our little and big bird friends that come
to our feeder and we usually have some come to the feeder every time we sit down to eat. Mostly the Steller Jays
come but we also have juncos, sparrows, humming birds, chic a dees, toehees,warblers, and from time to time there are some
wonderful surprises. Once in awhile the flicker joins the party. We also have a hawk that really tries to get the
jays !
