Cut up a couple tree with the BIL at his dads place. One was pretty big. Probly over 30 inch on the stump. Other was mabe 20 inch. Took most the day by the time we split it and took it to his place. Good day. Got to try out the husky 181 for the first time. Worked pretty good.

Almost done making a hot counter for my kitchen. Yeah this has been 4 months in the making now because of trying to find time to do it!

These are the brackets that I hand forged free hand on my anvil. There definitely not perfect.



Here's the counter top. 1/4" plate 5' X 18". I came up with the idea of a hot counter because of taking hit stuff out of the oven and not having anywhere to set it. This way you don't need any truvits. Drilled 119 holes in the top because it's going over top of my radiator in my kitchen and they are holes sonthe heat can circulate in the winter time.

Went to Church, went to eat with the family to a Japanese Steakhouse. Food was great, my mother-in-law had never been -- she loved it.
Took a nap, and went back to the evening service. Both services were great!

Had all hands on deck yesterday. @RIDE-RED 350r came down with his kids to help get some logs out for my firewood. I have some big white ash near the edge of my yard with thinning tops so I’m trying to get them down while they’re still good. Great day! Next weekend we’ll work on his firewood.



Nice pile of ash logs at the end of the day.



I primarily used my loader for skidding but I did have some sticks small enough to give my grampas Farmall Super A a little work out. And my dog photo bombed me lol

Nice work XP.

Thanks man. I gotta say that I had it pretty easy though. I spent a lot of time on the tractor and Joe spent a lot of time in brush. Just the way it worked out but I owe him one.

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

No big deal really. Putz

Got home from work today and decided to take this split trunk out of my red maple I've been putting off for too long. It measured 15" at the widest point. Granted, red maple isn't as hard as sugar maple, but the little 242xp handled the whole job like a champ! Love that rabid little sunuvagun! YAHOO 242!!

Was up at my cabin in the Catskills today, and my MOFO 360 and MMWS 261 teamed up with my Polaris 570 to skid some Cherry + Ash for firewood.

The new HF Solar Panel had the battery fully charged, and we hooked up a new HF inverter to replace the old burned out one, and had lights again!

I believe the Flower is Red Trillium, they were all over the place!

Thanks, it is Mtn Top 2 mi in on a 4WD road well off the grid, overlooking the Cannonsville Reservoir near Hancock NY.

It is 20' X 24', 2 stories, post + beam construction from 6.5" X 6.5" Ash milled from trees that were blown down on the property (50 acres) using a $29 Beam Machine!

The outside is just stained CDX plywood (5/8) with cement board around the bottom to stop the Porcupines.

It was a lot of work, but it kept the cost in check. We still need to put a floor in. Heat is from a air tight 55 gal drum stove kit. (I re used my old Sotz kit I used to heat my house with).
