High elevation Western Red Cedar and lowland Western Red Cedar belong to the same species, Thuja plicata, but they differ due to their growing conditions.

High elevation cedars grow more slowly, resulting in denser, finer-grained wood with tighter growth rings, often making the wood more durable and uniform in color with fewer knots. The unique qualities of high elevation Western Red Cedar make it especially prized for certain log home projects.

Attention: Timbers

That’s quite enough shivering, thank you.

Life is Not A Spectator Sport

What are your favorite sports to watch and play? At one time I excelled in traditional American sports. I was rather decent at baseball and football but lost interest as an adult. I spent many a year being a competitive runner. I have my fastest marathon time at The Boston Marathon. I still run a little. However, I fell in love with soccer about twenty years ago. It is the only sport I watch.…

Today we're going to look at choosing the right logs for your log home or cabin. We recommend buying the best logs you can – any other element can be upgraded later. Better logs return their value in thermal performance, maintenance and resale not to mention aesthetic quality.

𝐖𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞: Different types of wood have varying properties that can affect the longevity and maintenance of your cabin.

Western Redcedar: Naturally resistant to rot and insects, making it a durable option.

Douglas Fir: Ideal for log home construction because of the size, length and the consistence of the tree.

𝐋𝐨𝐠 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞: The shape of the logs can influence the home’s appearance and construction method.

Round Logs: Provide a classic, rustic look and showcase the natural curves of the tree.

Handcrafted Logs: Retain individual character and a rustic appearance with the log flare appearance.

𝐋𝐨𝐠 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Ensure the logs are of high quality by checking for:

Tight Growth Rings: Indicate dense wood, which is less prone to cracking and checking.

𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Logs should be properly seasoned to reduce moisture content and prevent shrinkage and warping. Logs cut in the winter are often preferred as they have lower sap levels.

By carefully considering these factors, you can select the perfect logs for your log home or cabin, ensuring it stands the test of time and provides a cozy, beautiful retreat!

A company making wooden wind turbine blades has successfully tested a 50-meter-long prototype that’s set to debut soon in the Indian and European markets.

Last year, the German firm Voodin successfully demonstrated that their laminated-veneer timber blades could be fabricated, adapted, and installed at a lower cost than existing blades, while maintaining performance.

Now, Voodin has announced a partnership with the Indian wind company Senvion to supply its 4.2-megawatt turbines with these wooden blades for another trial run.

Wind power has accumulated more than a few demerit points for several shortfalls in the overall industry of this fossil-fuel alternative.

Some of these, such as the impact on bird life, are justified, but none more so than the fact that the turbine blades are impossible or nearly impossible to recycle, and that they need to be changed every 25 years.

Wind turbine blades are made from a mixture of glass and carbon fiber heated together with sticky epoxy resin, and these materials can’t be separated once combined, which means they go into landfills or are incinerated when they become too battered to safely operate.

GNN has reported that folks will occasionally find second-life value in these giant panels, for example in Denmark where they are turned into bike shelters. In another instance, they’re being used as pedestrian bridges.

But there are way more wind turbine blades being made every year than pedestrian bridges and bike shelters, making the overall environmental impact of wind power not all green.

“At the end of their lifecycle, most blades are buried in the ground or incinerated. This means that—at this pace—we will end up with 50 million tonnes of blade material waste by 2050,” Voodin Blade Technology’s CEO. Mr. Siekmann said recently. “With our solution, we want to help green energy truly become as green as possible.”

The last 15 years have seen rapid growth in another industry called mass timber. This state-of-the-art manufacturing technique sees panels of lumber heat-pressed, cross-laminated, and glued into a finished product that’s being used to make skyscrapers, airports, and more.

At the end of the day though, mass timber products are still wood, and can be recycled in a variety of ways.

“The blades are not only an innovative technological advancement but a significant leap toward sustainable wind production,” said Siekmann, adding that this isn’t a case of pay more to waste less; the blades cost around 20% less than carbon fiber.

Additionally, the added flexibility of wooden blades should allow for taller towers and longer blades, potentially boosting the output of turbine by accessing higher wind speeds.

Now partnered with Voodin, Senvion will begin feasibility analysis in the next few months, before official testing begins around 2027.

Did we all collectively agree that Tim chooses to have a public feud with Red Robin as a way to cover his identity?

___

Reporter, pushing a microphone on RR: What are your thoughts on Tim Wayne's recent kidnapping?

Red Robin, deadpan: He's an asshole cosplaying a feral racoon and whiny bitch.

-Later that day-

Tim, watching the news: Well fuck you too *flips off the TV*

Batfam: *concerned*

___

Bernard, who's publicly in a relationship with Timothy Drake-Wayne, was caught kissing RR on a rooftop. Kon-El, who the world thinks definitely has a thing with RR, was seen carrying Tim back to a penthouse at night.

This leads Gotham city to believe that Tim and RR stole eachother's boyfriend. Thus fuelling another war between RR and Tim on twitter.

It didn't help when a picture of Bernard and Superboy having a date was posted online.

___

Tim: *requested and funded a Red Robin joint to be built in Gotham city *

A video of RR staring at the building offended and distained from across the street went viral.

I Am Already On An Alternative Path

What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? I did not have guidance as what alternatives were available to me. I just did I what I thought you were supposed to do. I went into business and got a masters degree in the same. It’s a sad mundane American story. I made a deal with a small database company (Oracle) one time. They wanted me for my business acumen and I…
