  • today we'll be cutting up logs that we'll later saw up for boards. I just got a new log arch and we'll try it out. I also found a big surprise when I cut into one particular log..........

    Years ago I was helping my father drop a big red oak, and when it fell to coons came crawling out of it. "I didn't need that tree" he said. We both felt bad, but they didn't get hurt. I love how you care about the land and who lives on it. The place is looking great Dave.

      Every 4 year-old needs his own logging arc!! Hopefully Santa can fit it down the chimney. Keep him watching this channel... and I'm sure he'll grow up to be a fine young man!

    That logging arch is pretty cool and using the wheel horse is a great choice. Too many folks overlook the value of a good old garden tractor.

    Back in the early 90's when Home Depot first opened around here (Warwick, RI), they legit had a permanent stand outside the entrance where you could buy sausage, dogs, burgers, and canned sodas. Was there for years before it disappeared.

      @@chanceburger3169 This one in particular wasn't even mobile. It was basically a stainless-steel outdoor kitchen and counter up against the building. Its roof was the overhang that covered the entrance/exit. Now it's where they put the grills, lawnmowers, snowmobiles, or whatever's in season.
