as good a place as any to post this.

Winding down on this cleanup thing and I just painted the dump truck, although to me the pic looks like a toy truck, and no I don't own the chipper nor do I think I want to own one, its far easier and more profitable to just cut em down and take em to the mill...

7 acres I start as soon as this is done, and looking at more all the time, Hel I've turned some of it down... (20 acres on Orcas Island... 1.5 hour ferry ride, and a 2 hour drive to get there, not to mention getting the logs hauled would be a ****ing nightmare).

Its amazing a you hang a shingle and people just start calling and wanting their trees killed... of course then you have to show up and actually do good work...
 
Is it just me or does partial clear cut and mechanised sound a bit less efficient than clear cut and mechanised? Best of luck with it northmanlogging.
 
He only wants a little part cleared say 2-3 acres (what like 1.5 hectares or so?) then maybe some thinning after that, depending on how it goes. Not sure if a feller buncher can really make any money on just 1-2 acres, with a little bit of road building of course, so we'll see how it goes.
 
It was a good day. Dropped about thirty trees, only had to rig one. Only downside is everyone wants the firewood up here. Had to buck em all into twenties. But done by seven, got cleaned up and took Amy and the kiddos out for ice cream. It was a good day.
 
Had a trail work party over the weekend down off HWY 410; thirty or so showed up to help dig, clear, rebuild, and add drainage to spots on Skookum and Ranger. Peter and I took off with saws and went hiking in to clear some trees. My friend who loves video production wanted to come along for the festivities.
