Reminds me of the roll-around scaffolding we used while hanging stars from the gym ceiling for the high school prom... I was the only dummy who would climb up there while my buddies rolled me around the gym... usually way too fast... We got 'er done! Safety first!!! LOL
Do you have management? Is that why the chair is there on the right side? Or is it for taking in the scenery of the rounds?
A little of both, she manages me and makes sure the rounds look good...I heard about the couple that weren't straight on the ends...I explained I didn't cut those...
Cleaned up a bit Monday afternoon... Got a tote over 3/4 full of kindling to dry We had been using this wood shed for storage since the spring of '24. Got stuff moved and the end wall put up to stack the first couple rows of wood against... Found some big lag bolts, made a spot to hang dump trailer sides on another shed... Moved splitter and logs Tuesday morning, going to fill it up again
It was windy and cold Thursday morning, so we loaded up the tractor and went to Beverly...The Plantation, that is...... The friend that has given us plenty of logs before, had some trees taken down close to his house. He had the guy cut them 16.5' and gave them to us... Sweet gum and water oak went to chip mill...5.03 tons... Saved 2 straight red oak logs from that load and cleaned up some other oak we had cut earlier...
That is time consuming stuff right there. I used to clean it all up once a year with a york rake but I now let it sit and build up. Makes a nice buffer between the ground and where I toss my splits.
This was in a pile right in front of the big shed. It didn’t take to long, I needed a break from all the hard work I'd been doing...... I leave it scattered where we stack totes though.
Got 2 totes prepped for chunks And picked up an empty tote from deer camp...almost got it full... Split a small pile of cutoffs into one of the totes... We have several more piles to clean up
Nice chunks. I watch the guy at my Disney cut and he'll use the bobcat forks to shake the totes full of splits to settle them. Have you tried this with the tractor?
Funny you mentioned that...I did that on that tote for the first time yesterday. Usually I can place them pretty good, but I didn't open the door on that tote.
We got the cutoff piles processed. This is the tote that was started above... Had enough to fill the other prepped tote. Had a good bit of 9-11" pieces, so dropped the door and stacked/placed most of it...tractor really grunted picking it up... Also finished the deer camp tote...
I sure wish some of our FHC hoarders were closer. This area is only a couple miles from us. The guy that owns it let's tree services dump here. They use some of the wood, mostly pine, to build pallets for his brother's business. Absolutely tons of wood... This is just down 1 road. We hauled some pine saw logs from the Pines galore thread job we're doing.
Snakes got me rooting through a 2 x 4 stack back in 2021. I thought it was just splinters getting me till I started getting a little woozy.
Hope those aren't venomous snake punctures. That would be a very serious affair. Kinda worried but hoping for a good report!
