May 25 2014

Another busy day.  I had the mini excavator today to help clean up some of the hillsides.  I really needed it for about a week.

Had a small issue with the track falling off around noon and had to wait for someone to come and fix it so I lost 4 hours of time but still got quite a bit done.  The rest will just have to be done by hand.

But 1st here are the 2 diameters of the pines.

This was the pine by the house.


This was the roadside pine.


My toy for the day.


Looking from the log road south along Stock Farm.


Looking up along the northern property line.

More of the northern property line.


Opposite of the last picture.  I pushed the piles back and then reached the boom as far as it reaches and pull debris into the piles.


More of the northern property line.

Looking up from the north west corner.



Looking down to the north west corner.



Looking along the western property line.



Looking up to the top from the western property line.


View from the top towards the western border.


More of the top.



Looking south from the top.


Looking down the log road towards Stock Farm Road.


Looking up from the southern end of the ridge.


Looking down towards the house.




One of the last things I did was to clip the corner of the hillside a little more so I can turn my truck and trailer easier.


The last thing I did was load my trailer with the remaining big rocks I couldnt handle myself and spread the dirt for the stone wall getting ready for topsoil and grass-seed.
