    Default Finally got a start on shed site

    Today I finally cleared the shed site

    Three Messmate trees smack bang in the middle of where the shed is going and one in front of the doorway.

    Will now have to load logs onto truck and drop down to the mill.

    Will be grinding the stumps in the morning.
    Cheers

    Nice looking area for a workshop DJ .

    Is that you at the top of that big orange spidery looking thing? :eek: Never seen one of those before.

    How big is your shed gonna be?

    G'day Waldo

    East Warbo is about half an hour from Lilydale. You drive thru Lilydale then take the first right just out of Lilydale

    Looks like a great spot for a shed, beautiful area by the looks of it....

    How tall do you reckon the trees that surround it are?

    I would say they are 20 to 40 metres maybe more for a couple.

    The ones I cut down were 15 to 30 metres

    We lived in East Warby for about 4 years when my father was working on the Upper Yarra dam and it was fantastic. We moved into a house after living with friends who were down Riversdale Road, which had no electricity or running water and of course no toilet just the thunder box down the back with the obligatory spiders.


    Circa 1952. What a magical place.

    Sorry to digress but I have great memories of the area and still have a friend who lives in Big Pats Creek Road

    Thumbs up Stumps are gone

    Got the stumps ground out now .

    Now to organise excavations and the concretor.

    Better let the sparky know that I have finally started too, so he can start making some noises to the power company to change over to 3 phase

    Had some spare time this evening, so decided to load the logs on to the trailer.

    Pick the logs up one at a time with my homemade crane mounted on the back of my old 1 tonner ute , then just back her up to the trailer and drop em in .

    Will drop the logs down to the mill on Friday morning and will probably mill them next week with my redgum log that I dropped off a few weeks ago.
    Cheers
