Today was another fun filled adventure.
Took my chipper in, they gave me a 1390 for a loaner. Not a bad machine, but I think mine has more crushing power, and I did not like the amsteel winch line.
We got 2 trees down on the ground, still have 2 more left. Got the entire lawn raked up though, which was good.
Log truck showed up on time this morning, loaded up from the driveway, and took off, we moved the remainder of the wood out to the road with the backhoe. He came back for 2 more loads. The bulk of the loads we had to pull the logs out with chains with the front of the log truck. He wasn't comforbable reaching under the wires along the neighbor's accessway, so we had to drag everything out to the road with chains. Blew a hydraulic line on the grapple trying to load the largest log on, luckily he had spare hoses.
One of the neighbors came over today, complained one of the trucks hit his mailbox, so I will have to fix that. Guy wasn't a complete #### about it, because it only got a little ding, just gotta bend it out.
The town paid us a visit today as well, apparently homeowner has been complaining about water running onto their property. Foreman from the town saw us working off the curb, says next time we want to do that I have to apply for some kind of permit, cost is $50 non refundable, put up a $500 bond which will be returned once work is complete and they don't find any damage. Unbelievable.
I also managed to get Dodge Vader stuck again. Fun Fun.
