Installing the corner trim on the truck camper is the finale step before taking it out for our first trip. The trick to installing the trim is to take it slow. It is aluminum and will bend easily. #truckcamper #truckcamperlife #slideincamper #camperrebuild #camper 2 links to the Tite Seal tape I used on the corners and roof. I bought it at Lowe's. https://www.cofair.com/titesealallpurpose.aspx https://www.lowes.com/pd/TITE-SEAL-Self-Adhesive-Waterproof-4-in-x-33-ft-Rubberized-Asphalt-Roll-Flashing/1007825 link to the Gray Putty Butyl Tape 1/8"x 3/4" RV Motorhome Window Vent Waterproofing I used this under the corner trim to seal the screws that go through. https://www.ebay.com/itm/231900358198?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ryyYVEdVRsG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=6P0GqNxYTQe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I needed to expand the log yard to give me more room to store material and maneuver around with the Mahindra 2638. I'm using the Mahindra 2638 with a log rock grapple to help get the work done. It's not so much like work when you have the tools and equipment to get it done. #Mahindra #mahindra2638 #logyard #norwood #norwoodlm30

Our 2nd sap boil of the year. Only 15 gallons this time. I'm a fan of using a fan to help control the fire and temperature to help decrease boiling time.

Another blessed day begins

I am on the final push to get the area stumped and leveled before the ground freezes. The Mahindra comes through again!

A large stump I pulled with the Mahindra 2638 left a big hole I filled in using the Mahindra backhoe.

The final step in preparing the site for the Norwood LM30 sawmill. I pull the final stumps and level the area before the ground freezes.

I almost drop my new Norwood LM 30 sawmill when I was moving it with the Mahindra 2638.

I'm clearing an area to put our new Norwood LM30 sawmill. I am using the Mahindra 2638 to stump and level the area. This is one in a series.
