Thread: TIMBER!!! Or a lumberjack strikes!

And moving right along...

1) 3 down 2 to go

2) Steve singing "Im a lumberjack an I don care I work all day an... etc" and the reason why I call him a lumberjack... just some ropes a harness a chainsaw some crampons on his boots and up he went with the passing comment "time for some FUN!!" on one of the larger boughs he sat down wrapped his legs around it and cut it off... when the tension let go he fair flew!! yelling YEEEEEEEEEFFFLAMINHAAAAAAAAA!! hung on better than any rodeo rider I ever saw... still hangin onto the chainsaw!! scared the livin doodads outt me I can tell yer mans got steel gonads!!

3) Half naked Pine tree ready to be dropped

4) Camphor Laurel almost finished... You can just see the last trunk sticking up above the branches on the ground near the house

5) ALL GONE!!

Almost all over

1) Finally all down... the last bit he had to do of the logging was the last trunk standing of the Camphor Laurel... gone

2) Stump grinding with the bobcat

3) All cleared up and ready to do the soil testing and measuring survey stuff... well okay hes still out the back going ballistic with the stump grinder but hey! almost done is almost done... you can just about make out the stack behind the old wreck... mmm must get someone in to take them buggars away now we can see them eh?

1) She looks flamin NAKED!!! But by the livin harry it sure opened the paddock up eh! Now Im gettin the boys into condom suits and spray packs of poison and they will be spraying the creek acre next weekend to get rid of the major weed happenin down there and in about 2 weeks we will be havin a major tree planting day!... theres the acre down near the creek and up the back our side of the railway tracks that need planting so mucho work to keep the mob active for a day or so So whats come down will come up again 5 trees down 140 planted aint bad eh? and thats just the larger trees not including shrubs and water plants... well I thought it was a good compromise

2) LOTS of plans for the logs mate... LOTS AND LOTS of plans Specially the Camphor and the Silky oooh yes indeedydoody lots of plans

I was hoping to have Bob wander down in about a month with his BIL mill and do a bit of milling and show me the mill give me some hints on making one etc but Im not sure if thats still on as I read yesty he has scored as much timber as he wants from somewhere else But he might still wander down which will be good if he does
