Thread: A little bit of stuff Carl and Al are doin...

looks interesting did you snig them with the bobcat

Do you blokes usually just lob on someone elses site and start cutting timber? Where I come from,you'd end up with a butt full of butchers salt. And thats if they were feeling neighbourly!

Youv'e got some work ahead of you there. Looks like someone is planning on widening the road?
Carl's back will know all about it when you've finished.
cheers
Steve

Yeah, its the only way we get to cut any timber - we rock up anywhere a tree is down, then we start slicing it up and hope no-one notices the campsite we made, bobcat running couple hours a day, trailers, sawmill (exhaust optional), utes for the month, then Carl will drop 'em an invoice for a bunch of timber they never asked to be cut...it was a good scam til you put it online...now everyone will be doing it

nah the country round here is awful, gullies and ridges everywhere, some spots are heart rate raising just walkin 'em, like Carl said they got a dozer in to do the sniggin. Carl and I ran chainsaws and hooked chains for a few days, we did one day on a ridge with the bobcat, but he's mostly been put to use loading the skids with logs and movin packs of timber once sawn

Loaded a couple 2.2cube logs with him onto the skids hey? Geese its good having a small nations workforce to call on during the day

yeah, we've all but finished Steve. Spent 14 days on site spread over the past 4 weeks. Had a few days just sniggin and dockin logs, another cpl days setting up two mill sites and not a heck of a lot of milling really given how much timber is lying around the place.

I got a bunch of pics to put up once I'm back on mains power again too

Was just a question.

cos im a lazy bugger a reandom assortment of pics, the rest can be seen on my FB page.

and some more

and the packs of timber.

















and al would kill me if o forgot this pic, 800mm dimiter 3m long dead solid tallowwood.

20m3 of timber from about 46 cube of log.

much of it had bad pipes, and 5 and 6m sticks were not what i would call gun barrell straight.

there is still 28 cube of log left onsite i will make an offer on.

Yeah, just so ya know, that last log ended up tippin me off my back wheels, just as I managed to get it on top of the pile - 1.7t she was
