As always, Howard, I love the honesty and simplicity. I was going to suggest my method which is similar......I rip the guide blocks at a 10 degree angle and cut the tops so they shed water. But you will be capping them,so all is good!
It's simple and it works. I'm halfway there, I'm simple but I don't really work. I've always had Stihl chainsaws but recently bought a battery one to do smaller jobs and I am actually very impressed with it, so much easier for an old fella like me. I see this time it's the dogs photo bombing your video, although the one in the sin bin looks mighty impressed with what you are doing. One of the highlights of being retired is, when it gets cold and wet, you just go in by the fire and read a good book. Thanks for staying simple, kind regards to Coral and nuts to Cyril.
Hahaha - being simple comes naturally to me. And, I'm going to take your advice about what to do when its cold and wet. Been cold and wet enough starting when I was a paper boy way back in a small town with harsh winter weather. A fireplace and book sounds amazing! Will pass your best along to Coral and Cyril. I'm thinking that both will be well fed over the summer by what that green house that is in the background produces . . . Stay warm - and enjoy that little Stihl electric. Mine is now 5 years old and used regularly and never a moment of problems.
Looking great Howard! You’re doing fantastic work. Only recommendation I have is to purchase a ‘beam cutter’ attachment for a regular circular saw. Or mitre cut 2 thirds of the post to allow water runoff (if you like the look)
Thanks for tuning in Mitchell. Huge thanks for the tip. I did not know that a beam cutter existed. Did a quick search after getting your message. Any preference on make or model (my daily use saw is a Milwaukee 7-1/4" cordless. Again - thanks for tuning in and being part of improving my journey.

@@howardkettner :) I have not used a beam cutter personally, but I follow RUclipsrs that do. Prazi seems to be a common brand
