I'm glad you were able to get it in, sounds like this week will be a hit or miss with the rain for some of us.Looks like you are making some headway Zap. We managed to get the pool party in today....only a few sprinkles. A good time was had by all.
Thanks WS, it's much better but still needs more work. Here are some pics from the work today, most of the pine I chipped today had zip for needles so I only did two loads before I called it a day.Looks good zap, awesome weather to do it. Good smells too I'm sure
I'm not sure yet, we might use them to make something to cover the small red oaks for the winter. I always plan things an never get them done, but a storage shed would be nice.What will you use the boards for then?
Just a few that go to the wood & the area we put it inside the house. I use the Moose Plow for plowing the top part of the driveway.The woodshed would be a nice addition, and I remember you did have some plans to build one. When the time is right, it will be built. Do you plow your trails in the winter ever?
I think most of the pine will be milled, some will go for splits. The brook could use a hard rain or better yet a steady rain for a couple of days.Looks like that pine will yield a good bit of splits. You defintely have your work cut out for you with those branches. I think this spring, or sooner I will lay chips on the trails. It will clean them up so much. How much rain you get? Did the brook fill up much?
It looks like the weather is heading in the chit hole real fast, we should be in the warning zone pretty quick.
It was black out at 5:30 tonight, lots of rain, lightning and some heavy rains.Surprised to see that zap as we are to be in the 70's all week. Didn't quite get there today and it was sweet
The three areas that are the worst for erosion from heavy rains are the area I worked today & the two trails that get me up top.We had heavy rain on and off all day. 2 day rain totals 6"+. How are your trails during heavy rains? Im guessing there are areas that are prone to washout or mild erosion at the least. We are avid hikers, and have done hiking trail maintenance and have been successful with re-routing runoff. Im guessing the pine needles keep the weeds ect down and the trails nice. For the winter, I tie together 3 tires and drag them behind the quad to groom the few trails I have when it snows
If the weather is good I should be milling next weekend, maybe this week. We'll find out this week (I hope) if were covered by the county liability insurance for the multi use trail which would go through part of our property. We also will hear from our insurance company if it's ok.Sounds like a perfect opportunity to mill a bridge to me
