A building for the mill

fuelrod Timing is everything. Looks good.

 

These were some tall hemlock. Big enough to get a dozen 12'' boards out of each of the bottom 2 logs and a almost 12 out of the third. Broke in a brand new 24" bar and chain on my old trusty 044. I've had this buddy for 35 years or so.

Here's the top of the first one. Nearly 30' although I didn't actually measure it.
The wonderful weather man was calling for flurries on and off all day, not more than an inch. Started snowing around 10 and there's a solid 3" when it got dark.
I found another area with better tractor access loaded with 5'+ circumference

 

Nice !! I am jealous beautiful setting just the peaceful sounds of a chainsaw in wood and the smell of 2 stroke in the woods "IT doesn't get any better" JB

 

I don't know what happened to my picture of the top.

This one had to land on the trail a needed to go.

 

The poor mill looks cold!

 

Got a couple more today with an extra buddy. That's a slick little trailer!





And my little buddies

 

Equipment is always good I love the helpers in the seat !! JB

 

Right state, wrong guy
No high heels.

 

Nice setup. Cute pups.

 

Yeah sweet trailer. Hydraulic grapples are great

I think about the settlers that cleared land with hand tools and effort. They’d be jealous I bet!

 

I'll ride around here looking at all the stone walls running off into what now is woods. The term "turning in their graves" comes to mind.

 

My buddy with the log trailer put this load on my truck for me this morning.

A few more big ones to cut down and I think I'll have enough.

 

Those should make some really nice boards !!

 

Oh heck yeah! Can't wait to see the progress on them.

 

And hurry up fuelrod for those of us living vicariously through your build

I mean this has been since May in your spare time?!?

 

Don't I know it!
The past few days my shoulder has been killing me and (because) everything that I've been doing is overhead. I'm trying real hard to get the overhangs finished before I jump into the siding and the roof has a winter long layer of snow and ice on it.
I need to check into a cortisone shot or something.

 

Maybe a 20 year old female massage therapist who is on a beach volleyball team would help your shoulder pain ???would that fall into the or something catagory? JB

 

Definitely would be a distraction
The shoulder (probably the cuff thing) has distracted me from the knee pain.

 

Knee pain the shoulder pain. So why are they doing surgery on neck?? Ohhh yes neck bones connected to shoulder bones connected to the back bones that are connected to the hip bones…
