Lost Chief

i cook chicken all the time without the skin and its never dry.  its all about how its cooked. 

Again i choose to just ckin chicken and not waste the time on plucking since i dont really like the skin anyways..


P.S..  I use a clay pot or wrap my chicken in foil to seal in the moisture when cooking.

so you love it enough to take the time to pluck a chicken when you can skin it without plucking in 2 minutes?  the tool that this post is about also uses electricity so not only will it take longer but you have to use power to do it also just to eat chicken skin..

With pigs you can put cheap chicken wre fencing just outside of your elec wire so if the pigs get shocked and try to run through the elec wire they run into the chicken wire and turn around. 

Do people love eating chicken skin that much to do all the work of plucking them instead of doing it the easy way and using a knife to skin them without having to remove the feathers?

You can also leave the guts in if you use a knife to skin and remove the meat from the body..


P.S.  I like it without the skin myself..

any of you seen the 50$ underground house videos?  I saw some posts on it but  figured i would say do in this posting. Personally i think the hillside is the best but if all you have is flat ground its got to do..  Its allot easier to deal with drainage on a hillside..  Beyond all the other smaller issues..

it does not say on thier website how long it takes to set but i would think you could probably remove the forms and start the next layer every 2 days or so.  And remember all you have to do is mix the earth/cement and pour. With most other styles of building your going to take the same amount of time to make the same area but working 8 hours hard labor a day.

Yeah i can clearly see mine is a bandsaw mill. My questions werent what kind of saw i was looking into but on what kind of cuts your saw can make.  I checked out thier website and can see how limited in ways your saw is.  Its pretty much up to what kind of wood a person is trying to mill.  I can get lots of trees that would be wasted if i could only cut 16" boards.  I see they have the mill with the chainsaw stile blade that can cut wide logs like i can get so im going to do more research on that model.. 


Once i but a mill i will post on it.. Wont be for a month or two.

Peace

I have a couple questions about this sawmill..

How deep does the blade cut down?

Can you put larger blades on it?

What hp is the engine?



Also a friend and myself are just about to buy a sawmill to work with in Washington because i have many friends with property that needs cleand up and we will be falling lots of trees and besides that my friends and i are general contractors and landscapers  and i cant even count how many hundreds of large trees we have taken down and cut into rounds for firewood and given away free to get it out of the customers yards.

This is the sawmill we are probably going to buy http://www.hud-son.com/oscar36.htm but i have never seen this model and will look into it.  But it does not look liek it can cut very nice wood besides maybe 8" beams or so witht he small blade?

i used green wood for heating for 2 winters in the mountains in w/wa.  What i would do is split a big load really small and like it all around the wood stove so it would dry fast.  I would use that wood to get the fire super hot then i would load my large wood stove full of green wood and this would make for a long hot fire.  The wood closest to the core of the fire would sizzle out quickly and dry and the wood on the outsides would dry as the rest of the inner wood burned and once the inner pile fell in the more dried wood would fall to the center.

That was the only way i could get lots of heat from the wood. If i burned smaller loads it would not get verry hot and would waste the wood in my view.  Loading the fire packed full was the way to go for me.

Now on the pollution side i have no idea..;

Kinda.  You bolt the forms up in the location where you want the wall.  Then fill the forms and once it cures you remove them and re-stack them on top of the first layer of wall (about 1.5 ft tall) then repeat the process.  The blocks are pretty large so you want to make them where the home is getting built and not have to move them. 

Seems pretty simple and when looking into it there seems to be allot of people who use this style in australia.

Peace
