Welcome, Lee. I will also (soon, very soon) be living in northeastern NS. I hope you can find your way to the meetup in the Truro area in late April.

I have a manual hydraulic woodsplitter that I think I will move with me up to NS. But, I have never used it. Bought it (for my husband who is now dece...
If you make the date near the end of April, I may be able to make a meetup if I manage to finally get moved to my new house on the northeastern shore.
