    • @freedomrider30
      @freedomrider30 4 месяца назад +2

      My hope is and I know they are thinking about it. The sawmill goes under the shelter in the spring/summer and that will produce the lumber to build the sheds for the equipment. Fingers crossed!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

  • @TheMadManPlace
    @TheMadManPlace 4 месяца назад +4

    Hi you two.
    If I may suggest something...
    When you go out with the trailer to harvest logs, take the sides of the trailer right off and use 4 poles mounted in the holes that the sides mount in.
    Then if you can find one for "the right price", mount a ski-boat manual "winch" at the hitch side to be able to pull the logs into the trailer.
    @SkinnersOffGrid built his "logging trailer" like that but Cecil went all fancy and made a battery powered hydraulic hoist arm to help with the loading and unloading.
    He (Cecil) then unloads the logs straight onto his mill for cutting.
    Just an observation - you guys do you - but efficiency saves energy.

    Cutting lumber in the winter. I miss those days; we use to do it every winter for lumber for the mill and firewood for a couple years down the road. those were the days that will be in your memory for the rest of your lives.

  • @robertslusser6753
    @robertslusser6753 4 месяца назад +9

    Glad to see that you take time, even in the middle of the winter, to visit with and catch up with friends. Friends are the mortar that keeps our life solid when the winds of adversity blow. And it looks like you had a few tuckered out puppy dogs by the end of the day. Loved this video; I spent a lot of years cutting trees and hauling logs for firewood but, at 73 years of age, I'm not up to the task anymore. So I love to watch you guys working in the woods with the tractor and chain saws.

    Do y'all hunt deer for their meat? Best meat there is . I know y'all are talking about putting the goats over in the new area where the old sawmill was , but Y'all really need a place to put all of your tractor equipment , the tractor , the wood chipper any other stuff that needs to be out of the rain and snow. The snow looked so soft and fluffy . I'll be glad when y'all's weather clears up to nice sunshiny days so y'all can get back to your outdoor projects like the siding and building the deck for your front door ( I think that is what you called it in the video) . Y'all have some pretty chickens and they all look healthy . Do you feed them chicken eggs? Y'all need some sheep so you can shear them for their fur.. but I know y'all already have a lot on your plates. Take care .

    Please, you've got to consider heat tracing the solar panels. You can put batteries behind the panels. Use a thermostat to control the heating elements. Use photo eyes to determine whether or not there is snow on the panels. Have a camera to view the panel surface. Send the camera picture back via fiber optic.

    Those pesky side branches do get in the way when you’re trying to chainsaw a trunk to a suitable length.
    But once you have cut them off the main trunk, it makes it so much easier to person handle. (did you notice the politically correct way I mentioned who was going to do the work).

  • @ld5714
    @ld5714 4 месяца назад +1

    I really enjoyed watching the dogs playing and plowing throught the deep snow. They were having a lot of fun. Greg, nice job backing up the trailer on the first load of logs, couldn't have placed it any better. You two have a nice supply of logs ready for you when you get started milling. Have a great week ahead and enjoy the snow while it lasts. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

    @SunraeSkatimunggr 4 месяца назад

    I got to "hang" with my son, around you guys' age, and talk about what he has been doing with his little mill business. He does mostly small custom jobs and a little furniture but will be using much of it on his house he will be starting in the next year. He was talking about why he mills what he does and such. His big problems are way too much moister here in Salem, Oregon. Things rot quickly if you don't say on them. He grew up in snow country and grumbles often that he would take working in snow over constant rain.

    Last week when I watched the tractor digging out those concrete rows under the new structure, I thought at first that you were digging out a basement level underneath or at least digging out the floor a little lower for added shelter from the icy winds.
    Might not be a bad idea to dig out a small cistern under there where the water is less likely to freeze.
    Just a crazy idea for another project.
