Apparently I’m not the only one that likes old trucks. GBUWP Jr. just bought his future prime mover for hauling trailers 💪💪 I bet it doesn’t stay a gasser for long.

Big old truck cleaning day💪💪 BRUTUS never ceases to amaze how he wants to run even when he is 52 years old. All the sawdust and bark makes a nice evening fire.

The latest project at GBUWP is starting to look like something!

Thank you Sam and Jake Clement at Clement's Starter & Alternator Repair LLC in Carmel for helping me keep this 52 year old workhorse running.

The equipment has been patiently waiting for me to get back from my year long trip to Europe. Time to dig them out of the snow bank and get back to work!

A new piece of equipment has been added to the GBUWP fleet. This 12.5 cubic yard dumpster trailer will allow us to load directly from the firewood conveyor making the whole system more efficient and easier on our backs.

We have 2 dumpsters so let us know if you need one dropped off in the driveway to fill up with demolition debris. NO House hold trash at this time.

Busy day at GBUWP as we hauled 5 loads of trees for a fellow veteran firewood business. While we hauled to his landing he continued to processing on site. The goal is to clear the site by this long weekend so the land owner can use the new open space to park vehicles for the winter.

GBUWP has been a little quite lately because of my real job but we have been able to get a few projects done.

We built a new barn ramp for some geriatric horses in Bangor. The whole thing is made of 3”x6” hemlock and pine planks and is held together with 6” structural screws. This should minimize how often they trip getting into the barn for the night.

We are also working to complete an order for 1”x6” pine boards for a camp remodel. The sourcing of the trees was made easier last week when we salvaged 3 urban pine logs from Bangor. The small one was 26” across and you can see the picture of the yield. The Peterson JP sawmill does a great job maximizing the amount of boards you can pull out of a tree.

Stay safe everyone and enjoy your Christmas as best you can in these challenging times ~ GBUWP

GBUWP is taking advantage of the super weather to try and break down some of the bigger log blocks in the yard. When dealing with large and bulky wood it is nice having the right equipment to complete the task safely.

Now that Neptune (the blue LS tractor) is helping out we have made another jump in efficiency by loading 1/3 cord pallet cubes right off the splitter. This will remove another step in the handling process since the wood will season in the cube. Also since the cubes are 48” wide we can load them right in the back of most clients pick up trucks.

For all those thinking about camp fires next summer we will be selling 1/3 cord cubes of soft wood for $70. If you do the quick math for 1 CUFT @ $4 firewood bundles at the gas station that would be the same as $170 of bundles.

Happy THANKSGIVING to everyone and stay safe this week while you celebrate with your families and friends.

Working with wood from the urban environment your tend to get big stuff. Thus we bought the Eastonmade 12-22 to knock it down to nice firewood sizes. This one round filled this the 17CUFT cart.

Another aspect of working with urban logs is all the surprises someone left for you 50 years ago. See if you can count all the nails that were used to keep that super awesome treehouse up during the 60’s. Luckily I think I only hit 3 with the saw instead of 20. There definitely a new nick in the splitter wedge.

Very diverse day today at GBUWP. We moved a chicken coop to its final winter home, took down 3 blue spruce and removed all the debris, picked up a bunch of granite slabs, and built a outdoor fire pit. Not a bad days work.

We filled BRUTUS up to his weight limit today to deliver firewood out to Brewer. We experimented on the most efficient way to load up from a pile of wood on the ground and found the conveyer was the best with one person loading the conveyer and one in the truck stacking.
