sawing, snow and cold!

Last weekend, I made a short timelapse of sawing logs. A picture was taken every 15 seconds over a period of about 55 minutes.


Sawing logs.


It could be awhile before I can do any more sawing- snow and cold temperatures are here.

4 Day Weekend

While Terry is back home visiting, I have been staying busy.

This is a time lapse camera I built for someone at the University of New Mexico who studies volcanoes. He will be using this, along with another I made, down in Chile next month to make videos of some eruptions hopefully.





Our weather here has been pretty mild. No snow in the valley..
Time for the horses to go back home. Hunting season ends Sunday.
Here are some pictures of the wood I have sawn so far. I think the saw will have paid for itself by the time the barn is built.
These are 6x6x16, 7x7x16 and 8x8x16 timbers. One 8x8x16 costs $130 at the local sawmill. The logs cost about $15 each, delivered. It takes about 15-20 minutes to saw a log.
