MAKING SOME ROOM FOR THE MOBILE HOME
Part of what I have to do in order to prepare for getting a mobile home on our property is removing some more trees. In the photo above you can see that I've circled the ones that I needed to remove. There will be some more, but this is what I was starting with this morning. By placing the mobile home in this position we will still be able to keep the house site open while also being able to hook the mobile home up to power, water, and the septic system.
Last night my neighbor dropped off his front end loader with a backhoe attachment. This is a great tool for the job since you can first dig around the tree and then push it over. Since I've done this type of work with this machine before, I'm a lot quicker than I used to be.
In fact, in less than about an hour and half all of these trees except one were tipped over and ready to be cut up. YOu can see the one that I've still got to get under the bucket, and I've circled the base the that tree in case you need help finding it. I'm having problems with my chainsaw still, by a friend may be stopping over later to help me. For now I've still got some firewood to move and other things to work on, so I'm staying busy.
TIMBER!
That's a GIF of the last one that I tipped over this morning. I had wanted to take some progress photos, but got carried away being efficient and saving time. I still remembered to stop and record a video to make this GIF out of though. My normal photo helper Pinkie-Pepper was busy elsewhere with things like breakfast or school work.
I've still got plenty to do, but progress is progress. Also, having big machines to work with sure makes things like this go more quickly! Steem on my friends!
As always, I'm
