But you can clear snow while getting firewood
the first time you hauled firewood with that,,it would be broke in pieces.....
What we’ll be the water source for the pond?
I once filled a pool by just re-directing one of the four downspouts on my house. Worked way better than I expected.
Amazing how much water goes through your gutters.

How big is your pond going to be? Pics deceptively make it look small.

The utility lines along my driveway through the woods is my own maintenance responsibility. I am not complaining, I have more times than I can remember felt particularly blessed to have a 1500' driveway through the woods that preserves my privacy. But, those same trees do exact a toll on the lines when they take a mind to fall over. I had two very large oak trees along my drive that died in the past couple years. They have the possibility of falling the wrong way taking out my lines, and leaving me gassing my generator while calling around to find a private contractor to fix my lines.
Here are the two potential trouble makers:
While I often feel confident in my directional felling, these are too close to my power and cable lines. The trees are growing more or less in the middle of the very narrow strip between my driveway and the edge of my property. So, I can't line them 180° away from the utility lines. Rather I'd have to pull them parallel to the lines. I won't even consider it. So, I engaged a Tree Trimming service, and got a bid to trim the whole line through the woods. This is what it looked like yesterday:
Two guys and a bucket truck showed up and worked together to trim my drive, and to take down those two trees:
Now that the weather is hot! I have some scrounging to do - up the hill and along the driveway:

I got you, man.
Unloaded the ute from Thursday's scrounging this morning. 10 cubes or so stacked in front of the shed, maybe a touch under as dry bits in the scrounge I've picked out and burned in the morning/evening fires we've been having.
Going to kick a ball with Cowlad for a bit then sharpen up the saws and get scrounging again, it is a lovely day for it today.
Summer finally arrived here. Last few days have been in the high 70s and very muggy and dusty. Tomorrow is fishing opener, but I have too many things to do to do that yet.
