I'm working on my storage now. I'm planning to have the vigas by summer.
I've been spending my energy cutting blow downs along my driveway at the moment. I have lots of stuff that I keep noticing (without even venturing out off the driveway) that is dead and still standing.
My question.. Are these blown over, and dead standing trees going to be appreciably drier than stuff that I would cut otherwise? I don't have plans to cut a lot of "good" trees. I would like to cut a 8' wide trail along one property line (about 2700 feet) so there's gotta be a fair amount of wood along there. I realize that year 1 is going to be the toughest. I need to cut twice the wood this year to get ahead. I'm really planning to clean up 70 acres of blow downs and get rid of a lot of dead standing stuff. Just wondering if buying something C/S is likely to be needed.
