Yeah, we call that rough cut construction lumber which gets hidden from sight behind sheetrock.

It's amazing how warped this can be.

Montfrooij Posted at 10-13 07:58
Thanks a lot!

You're welcome mate.

I've seen some that were totally unusable except for fire wood.

Yeah, I had those sometimes.

When I was stationed up in Chicago, Illinois I used to always try to find pecan wood for the fireplace.  Pecan has a very pleasing smell to it while burning.

We don't have those here in NL, but you can buy chips for smoking meat etc.

Yes, I've used those chips in my smoker many times.  Really gives the meat some great flavor.

I have tasted it, not used it myself.

If you smoke or BBQ often it is well worth giving it a try.

Not enough

Just something to keep in mind if youi ever start smoking of BBQing a lot of meat.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 10-15 13:43

Yeah, I will.
I do some BBQ, but only on coals.

Montfrooij Posted at 10-15 22:56
Yeah, I will.
I do some BBQ, but only on coals.

I've put pecan chips on coals also.  I have one grill that is gas and one that is coals only.  My smoker uses pellets.

Interesting.
I can try that out once day.

If you dampen the pecan chips before you put them on the coals it helps them smoke better.

That make sense

Just an old trick I picked up from a friend that used to enter BBQ cook-offs.  

Your neighborhood grows pretty fast!

Time for me to get off the forum and take a tour around the perimeter of my property.  I hope you are having a great day Peter.

So far so good, hope it is likewise!

Thanks Peter.  Turns out to be an uneventful day...which is a good thing.

Yeah, that can be a good thing.
I made 2 nice flights. You have seen the first outcome already. More to come soon
Also did some video editing and recorded the backing track.
Funny enough, I decided not to put that behind this one, but just use the field recording.
The backing track will come in handy with the details video of the demolition.

Fairly busy day for sure.  Sounds like you have the videos well planned out.

You know how that goes.

Yes, I remember those busy days for sure.

Still debate about the date of the chopper flight.
So I'm waiting for that to finish the video. (one image is included there too)

Yes, the pre-drone days of getting aerial images were quite a process.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 10-19 03:49

Yes it was very expensive.
I just wish I was allowed to fly a bit higher to match the old images. (from the '70s)

That would be nice but I'm not even sure if you can get a one time waiver for that.

Not here in NL. You need to jump through a lot of hoops.

I figured that might well be the case.

It's even tempting to just do what some are doing, but....Nope.
Just live by the rules. Especially when safety is concerned.

I've always done my best to err on the side of safety.

I try to do that as well.

I'm sure you've heard the old saying "better to be safe than sorry".

Yup. That's one which is quite common.
