Shagy Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Are there any members in the Victorville/ Hesperia area? The ac/heater at my dads house has been out for a while so they are buring wood to heat the house. I was told today that its been in the 20's up there at night, it was 40 while I was there today. He had a stroke 11 years ago and lost the use of his left side, so I'm trying to help with what I can. Today I dropped off a bunch of fire wood but I wasn't able to cut it down...their electric chainsaw is just weak.Is there anyone up there that can come to the house and cut the wood down for me/ them? I'm taking up some more wood today and I'll trade fire wood if that's possible (funds are tight), or maybe a pair of Ratsun Fender Emblems (Acrylic Ones I make).....or if I have to pay, please be nice to me. I'm going to be up there around 1pm today....Thanks for reading. Hopefully I'll be able to get his ac/ heater fixed before summer.My cell is Nine oh Nine-489-1426 - AJ aka Shagy Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 wish I was closer man. my grandad had me splittin wood when I was like 6 :rofl: pretty good at it these days haha. Id be happy to come down with a wedge and an axe Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Damn AJ wish I could help. It's just a bit of a drive for me and I have a fucked up back so I would be no help at all. Did you check your pop's AC/Heater unit?? I thought mine went out but all it was was a fuse. And my sister in law's broke and all it was was a $30.00 part. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I tried the axe yesterday....and got it stuck. I don't know what I'm doing. John....a couple months ago I called a shop and had them go up there to look at it. Said it was this one part, so I paid $300 to have it fixed, worked for 3 days.. I was given a number of a local to that area datsun guy that I'm gonna call to get his thoughts on it. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I tried the axe yesterday....and got it stuck. I don't know what I'm doing. if its already cut into sections and just needs to be split, a wedge and BFH work well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5daXy72DkQ this guy cant swing an axe to save his life lol but you get the idea. (works better with a BFH too) Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 you know what...maybe the wood is still to wet / fresh? Quote Link to comment
9teen7t240z Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hey, Shagy.....sorry to hear about your dilemna. It was 7 degrees in Big Bear this morning, so I know it's gotta be cold in the high desert. Something that might work for you.....go to inland empire c/l, barter section, type in firewood in search box, and you'll find a number of peeps willing to barter their cut firewood.....some of them are located in the "high desert". Thius coulkd save you time, cash, and grief from working with a chainsaw. 1 Quote Link to comment
