    Pretty much finished up everything for my phase 1 today. Got a start on phase 2. Put a few tanks through the 017 today, call me crazy but that's a fun little saw for bucking up 3"-6" firewood.

    Have you sold your TV yet? Every night you can kick back and admire your stacks!

    That is a pile of logs. Looking good. Did you cut all those or buy a tri-axle load?

    It was an oversized load on a semi out of the back 40 here. They cut over 2000 chord there last fall.

    He wanted to cut around 1000 chord, but they cut 2000 in about 10 days. 7 to pick it up for the trucks and 5 days of trucking.

    Didn't get much done today at the wood pile, but did get a bit on phase 3 done, put a tank of fuel through the FS560C on some brush around some apple trees, I bush hogged some of it yesterday. Then tackled some yard work. Put 2 tanks through the 017 cutting alders, the wood chipper went through 2 tanks of fuel, I now have a 5' high x 6' long and 4' wide pile of hardwood chips for mulch. The old farm is starting to get back to its old glory days. 20 years of overgrowth sucks to clean up.
