My SIL and daughter are going to sell their house and come live here again temporarily. We already set the camper back in the woods and have a 10x10 deck added. Yesterday we trenched 150’ for water and power. Even in their 30s, kids are never really on their own 😅

Anyone know what kind of bug this is?

When daughter #1 was about 6, we were at the neighbors. We were inside and the kids were out back. She came in, walked up to our neighbor, and just as calm as could be said “Mr Randy your house is on fire.” It was the vinyl siding being melted by the grill.

Got a free 30” Stihl bar so I put it on the Husky. I had never heard about west coast vs east coast bar sizes. Couldn’t get a chain for it around here so I ordered one from Baileys. I likeView attachment 443844

I’d like to know about this bar sizing method. From a technical perspective, they are sold by bar stud size, chain pitch, number of drive links, and gauge width of the groove in the bar. Stihl is commonly offered in 25” and 84 drive links, or 32” and 105 drive links. Maybe 30” is more common on the west coast, but I’ve never heard of it on the chainsaw forums.
 
It surprised me too. I strolled into the local Stihl dealer with this picture and they said that they couldn’t help me because it was a west coast bar. Maybe it’s more liberal??

At the time I could only order an Oregon chain with 3/8 pitch, .063 gauge, and 98 drive links.

Has to do with west coast mostly sawing soft woods like fir. They can get away with longer bars plus they need longer bars due to the size of the trees.

East coast hardwoods usually need shorter bars to do the same volume of work.

I don’t get the “that is a WC bar length” distinction although the standard around here is 28” and 32” bars in that range. A guy from Oregon who was on one of the teams I monitored for Helene cleanup ran a 32” bar on a 660, that thing ripped.
