You should see the yards here up in the SoCal High Desert

Basically a house built in the center of a 1 acre dirt lot with maybe a Joshua tree or two then a chain link fences as your perimeter of your property line

 

Wood fences here are very rare. Lumber here is also very expensive and what they pass off as high grade is crap. When I lived up north I cut up better stuff for kindling and didn't pay anything for it. When the mills were running we'd get pickup loads for free and they'd load it.

 

I worked for a logger doing equipment services for a short while. Over some years they'd pour the used oil in a big 500 gallon tank and we'd burn that in the shop heating stove in winter when we had trucks come in. It burns great but that'll damn near get you thrown in jail now.

 

my dad worked in the furniture industry and had connections. we get our kindling from a place that kiln drys lumber. dad get 12” long 1” square scraps that makes awsome kindling

 

Have seen it. Not the symptoms i'm dealing with (yet).

 

Good morning y’all, our power came on around 7:00pm last night. Today I will play catch-up. It’s a balmy 29* right now, it’s supposed to go up in the mid 40*’s.

I have a neighbor who got caught up in the wood deck craze years ago. There house is all brick exterior, very well built home. They have some really nice concrete flat work, walks and patio. They covered the perfectly good patio with a would deck,now they have maintenance and critters. You just can’t fix stupid.
