Last video til next week after the arctic blast... I had to back down in that hole 4 times to get firewood pulled together, seems like everything was going bass ackwards, the R rated version got washed away in the blood of Jesus Christ!!!!!

So nice just work 3 hrs and call it a day in 20 degrees weather with bright sunshine, great combination, last video til next month.........

My son got most the night before till he got to cold, came up this for-noon to finish my driveway and his, After one 6in and a 10in snow storm, this was the most this tractor pushed in 3 years.........

Trying new Mile Marker Rhino Pull 1000 portable winch for first time, it worked as describe which it should for $600.00, and better work for a long time. I'll post video with just the winch soon after this one...... https://www.milemarker.com/products/rhino-pull-1000-portable-winch

A little late in the day but the sun was out when I started. I wanted to get going on next seasons firewood, so started with some ash trash, I wanted to get a start while I still have some white gold on the ground.........

Need a few 2-bys before mosquitoes show up, sawed two log and removed slabs then called it a day......

Sawing couple logs with natures bug repellent on them......

As we got close to finishing off the beam it lifted 1 inch, we figured it would be to hard to jack the beam down and lot easier to jack up.... I wanted the biggest beam I could get, ended up with 6x7x20', a video that is to long and took 3 times to up-load......

Putting on wood shingles is lot faster when there no windows or doors to go around. Video was last week, the last couple pictures was this afternoon and below freezing...

It's getting to cold for this but I'm 17 years behind schedule.........

Coming down to the home stretch, caution, dont stand under loader........

This would got sawed into shingles to day. On flat ground tractor goes right along but when starting to up hill it dont go so easy, but if I can go just 100ft more I can put some weight in the bucket, time to put camera down and pay attention..........

Start with long distant winching, pinch saw and over worked L3400........

Almost have enough hemlock shingles.........

Loading hemlock for shingles with 1952-ish army 6x6, really need something better for loader.

B was suppose to be the last video but someone put a rock to close to road, I got stuck on bridge, the easiest part of the whole logging road, so winched one more time.......

All this winching just to get to flat-ish ground, notminal people would just take one, but with me stubbornness always prevails........

A looging video to sleep by......

I know, everyone says tractors aren't made to lift long trees........

One last load for 2022/23 heat season. I cant stand watching someone cut wood.....

It's slow going around windows and doors, I made it to the top and have just a finish row to put on, if I can figure out how to do it. When coming to a straight end it's easy but when the end or top is at an angle it's harder. I have to figure out when to stop cutting the tops of shingles, takes lot of concentration, even shingle placement is like a puzzle for me, takes a lot concentration, another one of my weak points.... Today was around 30*, shingles was like handling icicles, at end of day I was freezing........

For some reason the top ratchet that tips block in and out keeps missing a tooth when sawing 1/2" shingles, dont know if it's the pawl/gog or ratchet, but on 3/8" cedar with different ratchets it works fine. Then hemlock is can be measurable to saw at times, dont if it'sgoing to fall apart or be solid..

Talk about a fast pace job..... A shingle saw is much bigger than your average table saw, and not for the faint of heart... I need to put siding on my addition so since I dont have any cedar to make shingles out of, I'll use hemlock, not as good but lot cheaper.

Getting some sawmill slabs in chainsaw position before the storm........... Took me 30hrs to upload this long video, mostly due to this Florida rain storm I'm now getting, so I didn't do any editing to make it shorter. But least I had a good long stretch of sunny weather to do outside work....

Hemlock seems to smell nice this time of year. The sawmill maxed out at 20'-6", ended up with several boards and one 6"x8"x20' beam.
