<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">Time to close this blog.....</span><br />
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">Don't cry. Our life, your life, everyone's life goes on.</span><br />
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">As we journey this road we have twists and turns that come that we did not plan. Our cordwood house was not to be. All the people who have graciously helped us over the months and years are true friends. Their work will not be in vain.</span><br />
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">The stress (including one mental breakdown), the financial burden, and the continued openness to change has led us to redirect our course. We've moved up to Stone Table Farm in September of 2016. The Grouse has now become a home and we have even added on some bedrooms.</span><br />
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">The family has survived almost a year all living in the same room. No one went crazy. We are learning what we need in life is most of the time different than what we want.</span><br />
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">We sawed up the timbers for the timber frame house into dimensional lumber for the additional bedrooms. This was a blessing to have this wood available, seasoned, and ready to go.</span><br />
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">The biggest blessing of all is the cordwood itself. After deciding not to build our home we put an ad out on some of the cordwood building sites advertising our cordwood. After only a few days we got an inquiry....and from our own local area! Someone two towns over was going to build a cordwood home and needed wood! How cool is that. All the blood, sweat, and tears that went into that cordwood....and it ended up being used for its intended purpose - in our local area! They just picked up the last load of it today.</span><br />
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. We continue to wonder what twists in the road ahead will bring new adventures.</span><br />
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">Blessings to all,</span><br />
<span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last week we took down quite a few quaking aspens for peeling. At one point one of the kids said something along the lines of, </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Aren't we taking down a lot of trees? Won't there be any left?" </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Nate replied with, "Oh, we're just cutting these trees down to keep them safe." He pointed to a piece of the tree in front of him, "Don't worry...no ones gonna cut this tree down."</span></span></div>

<div class="quoteText" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">As we stated in our <a href="http://stonetablefarm.blogspot.com/2014/06/three-seasons-of-peeling.html">previous post</a>...we have about 10 cords of quaking aspen to cut down, limb, cut to manageable lengths, move out of the woods, peel, cut to 18" lengths, and stack. This takes quite a while with just the two of us working on it.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, we are putting out a call for some help.

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you would have told us in June of 2012 (when we purchased our land) that we'd still be peeling logs in June of 2014...we would have laughed. Yet, here we are, in our third go round with peeling quaking aspen for the cordwood house.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We've learned lots of lessons over the years. For example; peel the logs where you can get rid of the peelings immediately and not have to transport them to their final resting spot. Or - cut the logs into manageable lengths before you try transporting them.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As we end May and start June we figure on about 2 to 3 more weeks of good peeling weather. Then it will be too hot and the bark will start to cling to the trees...making the ease of peeling the bark off into the hassle of chipping the bark off. We need to get 10 cord done this season to have our final amount for the house. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well for all of you who have never seen the proccess (or have forgotten how it is done) here is a little video we've put together for you. It takes you from standing tree to peeled log (we don't have video of cutting the logs to 18" lengths, splitting them, and stacking them....but you can use your imagination).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Enjoy (and come help)!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Just
a small peek into some of the scavenger work that goes on around
here. Most of the time Nate is diving in the dumpster to pick
out treasures. This time all he had to do was look under the
shelves in the back room at work.</span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tucked
back in there were dozens and dozens of old paint cans. Some
dented, some with rusty lids, some mixed with the wrong color.
All of them unfit for sale and too much of a pain to dispose of.</span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So
with some characteristic charm Nate asked if he could salvage some of
them. Well the rest is history. We now have enough paint
to paint two whole houses and then some.</span></span></div>

The row of studs in the foreground are the vertical parts of our roof trusses. We cut the upstairs floor around them. The second row of smaller studs is a knee wall (more like a calf wall) that we built to finish off the upstairs and allow us some extra storage space.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Downstairs again. We want to keep the ceiling on the first floor open. Someday it will be a garage and we want to be able to hang stuff from the rafters. So we had to develop an angled wall section near the top to join the wall to the bottom of the floor above. Turned out pretty well.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">7:00am and the sun is shinning. A great day to pour 10 cubic yards of concrete. Ken and Randal were on hand. They have a local masonry business and we wanted to make sure that the pad was done right.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Nate had never done concrete before so he just followed their lead. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here is a bit of pictorial history of forming up the foundation for the grouse. We used all rough cut lumber that we had sawed out earlier this year.</span></span></div>

<div class="bq_fq_a" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The back of the purple pickup was a great building platform for the forms. We made eight forms that would be put together to form the 24'x24' grouse foundation. These went together fairly quickly. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Now that everything was straight and level we had to bring in fill to bring up the earth to right height to pour the floor. This will be a floating slab and a monolithic pour. That means that there is no frost wall - instead the foundation is poured as one complete piece and "floats" on the ground. As the ground heaves and thaws the entire foundation will move up and down as one piece. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Nate had the skid steer from work and went down the lane to get some sand from one of our piles. He promptly got stuck in the mid there and couldn't get out. So after his mom came up and pulled him out with the truck we moved to "Plan B". That was to contact our neighbors who have a small sand pit on their property. They graciously allowed us to pull fill from that site instead.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Now it was time to put in the plumbing. We were going to bury all of the plumbing in the slab but decided to instead just bury the line for the septic only. This means that there will be a step up into the bathroom so that all the plumbing can be above grade. This sped up the process for us as time was getting short before the scheduled concrete pour. Also this gives us the option of someday removing the bathroom from the grouse if we ever don't want it any more.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In this photo you can see that we've laid out string so we could mark the center of the septic pipe - plus it's just a crazy photo of Zane.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We laid the base for the shower in the form temporarily to get a reference point and measurements for the pipe. We cut a small trench in the compacted sand and then ran 3" pipe out through the wooden form for the septic line.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Next we brought is thin layer of gravel to fine tune the pad to be as close to perfectly level as we could. Here you see it in the footer and on the pad. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here is a good shot of the septic drain. You can see how it lies in the slab as well as how it penetrates the form. The end of the pipe outside of the form is just stubbed off with a plastic bag at this point. In the future it will hook into the septic tank. The pipe that sticks up in the slab will be removed before the pour. See the following photos. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Just a little update on the garden...and the deer. Good news, we have both. The garden will feed us (and is a test site for no-till wood chip mulch gardening) and the deer will feed us too, but we want them to get fat on other stuff.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We decided to put a temporary deer fence up to keep the neighborhood herd in check. This a "quick fix" fence. We simply put 10' lengths of 1/2" metal conduit into the ground 2' feet deep. Then we hung 7' high mesh deer fence from the conduit. Then we strung twine around the top at the 8' mark. Hung with ribbons we hope it will deter any potential ruminant rummaging.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's about time we showed you a bit (okay a lot) of what went into designing our cordwood home. I'd like to say we saw a set of plans, loved them, and said, "We're going to build that!"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We are learning that building a house is a lot like life itself...it changes over time. Just like are influenced and changed by what happens to us in life - so the design of the home. As we learn new things as humans, we try new endeavors - likewise the home design changes as new ideas come. Sometimes we learn from a mistake or suddenly become aware of something in us that just doesn't fit, we try to move beyond that vise and become someone different - so it is with our journey with this home.</span></div>

So we began designing some round home ideas. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But as we progressed we migrated more and more towards a square design.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In all of the home designs we've worked on we knew that the kitchen would be the center of the home. We thought we'd post all of our different plans so you could see the progression.</span> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In all of the following floor plans you will see a number. This is the number of the plan.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We began to realize that we didn't have the skill sets to build round. Even though we had visited some round cordwood homes and even had a book on constructing them, the time and effort would create too much of a hurdle for first time home builders. We started looking into square designs that would maximize footage as well as be a bit more familiar to us as well as those helping us build.</span></div>

After we decided that the round home wasn't the way we wanted to go we settled in on a home that Mr. Wade designed for Vic and Carolyn Savich. We liked the look and the general layout of the home...so we started tweaking it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Well....hard work it is...well was...because it's all done. All 75+ logs have been cut into all sorts of pretty lumber. We've never owned our own lumber yard before - but there is something satisfying about seeing all the boards stacked up.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Just thought we'd share some photos and video of the last week of cutting. All in all it was about 43 hours worth of work, at least 7 saw blade changes, and about 12 different people helping.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Every night Denise would go over the log list and cross check it with the lumber list. She not only kept track every night, but everyday while we cut as well. Each log was marked for a timber but she figured what other pieces we could get out of it as well. Sometimes logs were mismarked and she had to recalculate and find new logs and lumber on the fly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Well.....we've begun the sawing process...and boy is it tiring...and fun!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We've hired our new friend Mike to help us with cutting our logs into timbers. He's a great guy! Fun to work with, quick with a joke, and strong as an ox! He's got his Woodmizer saw parked up on the farm and we've been buzzing away at our stack of 75 logs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Each log has a number spray painted on it. That number corresponds to a major timber in the cordwood house. That timber is sawed from the center of the log (the heartwood). Beyond making sure we get the timber we have another long list of other wood we need (2"x6", 2"x8", 2"x10", 4"x4", 4"x6", 4"x8", 6"x8" material). These are interior walls, bracing, rafters...the list goes on and on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Mike had stacked up the logs (decked them) in three piles. He'll move the mill from pile to pile. But to get the log from the pile to the mill - you have to peavy. That means using a peavy to move the log. A peavy is basically a lever with a hinged claw at the end. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Once to the mill, the log is lifted onto the mill by hydraulic arms. Then the rest of the time on the mill other hydraulic arms turn it and flip it. As the saw runs over the log you remove the first cut which is almost all bark (the slab wood). Then in subsequent passes the saw will cut of 1", 2", or what ever thickness you want. These slabs (which are called fliches) are pushed to the side (back onto the hydraulic arms). The log is rotated 90 degrees and the process starts again.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Yes...it is a small bird native to our area....but it is also a Garage that will first be a House - then be a garage again once our cordwood home is built. Get it, "Grouse". Well we think it's humorous anyway. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The plan as it stands is that we will be building a Grouse this summer. In fact Nate went and got the building permit just the other day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY7BFTZ-AEHHOJbSSObAj09uUhKz8j2FzKIMWhvSrgIyMNjqLd3I4dNpAtbVZ_jIs6b22HfYTh-_5YSN34i5l1S4N03FtN3MH_r18ZifKa_Bn0DcnRaKxIUkwt4vtWBXU0d3p5AUo_vrOt/s640/permit.jpg" width="488" /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Currently we live in about a 1500 square foot 2 story house with a full basement. In an effort to practice what we preach about simple and sustainable living our Grouse will be a whopping 525 square feet (one floor with about 225 square feet of attic space above it).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here you can see the floor plan. Pretty simple. A small bathroom, a one counter kitchen, a fireplace and the rest open. At this point we are not planning on partitioning off any of the downstairs for sleeping (we'll just use curtains). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You can think of it like the Ingall's home in the popular TV show "Little House on the Prairie". They all managed to survive in a small one room house for years! I like this mash-up of the "Little House" and "Dallas" TV show opening credits (you had to grow up in the 80's to appreciate this.)</span></span><br />

The walls will be blown cellulose insulation, the trusses wooden, steel roofing, and the whole thing will sit on a cement slab.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For those of you trying to image how small this will be think about it this way. 525 square feet divided among 5.5 beings (5 humans and a dog - thus the .5) gives each person 95 square feet of personal space. To see how big this is - get out a tape measure and create a box 9 1/2 feet by 10 feet. Now stand in the middle of it. That's your space for the next year. Now join that box to 4.5 other boxes the same size - and you've got yourself a Grouse.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When we think this can't be done we remember two things. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">#1 - some people in New York City pay a lot of money for something this small - just so they can have a view of Times Square. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">#2 - We have friends that lived in a hunting cabin (that may even be a bit smaller) for over a year, through a northern New York winter. The cabin had no running water, no inside toilet, no insulation, and an open hearth fireplace for heating. They had 2 small children and the wife was pregnant with their third. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Craig and Maryann - you're our heroes!</span>

the tree's branches were pruned and you wild olive shoots were grafted

</span>
<span class="versetext" id="ro11-18" style="display: inline;"><span class="versenum">18</span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It was just a "little off the top" for all of them. We're hoping we can train them to be low to the ground for easy picking and less damage to apples that "drop" on their own. Some of the trees are dwarfs and we needed to remind them of that fact.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you are shocked by these pictures....so are we. Pray we didn't kill them. But with some time and some sun and water this summer they will branch out fuller and stronger than if they had been left alone.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We had a couple of big days this week!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The plan had been to take down many of the white pine on the farm this winter and have them sawed out. We plan to get all the lumber we need for the homestead from our own land. Well, we knew it needed to happen sometime before March....and guess what...February seemed to come early this year. Meaning, we almost waited too long to set up the whole logging operation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">About two weeks ago Nate turned to Denise and said, "I think we should check into getting the white pine down." Well little did either of them realize that the end of the logging season was in full swing and the beginning of sugaring season was right around the corner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Nate started making the phone calls. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Our friend Noel (Mighty Man of the Woods!) had agreed long ago to help us fell the trees. A quick call to him helped us realize that this would be a feat of logistics and timing to pull off. We needed to line up people to help limb the pines once they were down. Then we needed to get a skidder and driver (we knew this and thought there was one on every corner around here). Then we needed to check the weather. Was the day too windy? Was there a chance of rain? Sub-zero temps? Giant asteroid on a near collision course?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We were able to line up some help. Ken and Bob to the rescue! </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And as for a skidder? Well, first Nate called Bruce but his tractor winch wasn't hooked up. Bruce recommended calling Joe, but Joe's tractor wasn't big enough. Joe </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">recommended Tom, Lon, Elvin, or Rick...he thought we have the best luck with Rick. So we called Rick....and yes! Rick was available on the day we wanted. Great! Now we needed a big saw. Ken to the rescue again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So two days before the cutting Nate drops the big saw off to Noel and Noel says, "Have you seen the weather forecast for the day you want to cut? Wet snow and more importantly winds over 20mph. That's not good." No sweat....let's postpone it a week, the weather looks good then.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Three days later...the weather is calling for rain and wind on a day that only three days ago had a big sunshine on it. Nate goes into hyper drive. Phone calls to the helpers, "How about Monday instead of Wednesday?" Quickly he figures out that one day won't be enough. They plan for Monday and Tuesday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A call to Rick, "Can you skid on Tuesday if we cut on Monday?" His response, "No....but my brother Todd can with his smaller skidder." </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Great! We'll take it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Nate calls work last minute, "Can I have Monday off, and switch my regular day off from Wednesday to Tuesday? Pretty please?!?" They agree. There is a sigh of relief.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">MONDAY - FEBRUARY 25TH, 2013</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Nate does have to go into work until 9:30am to help unload the weekly delivery truck. Then he races from Lowville to Belfort and he and Noel start cutting. Soon Ken is on the scene lending a hand. Later Bob is there and things are humming.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">About 3:00pm everyone is dead. Noel has cut down 26 huge trees and has gotten hit by a big branch. He later tells Nate that if he hadn't turned his back to it as it fell he's certain it would have broken his collar bone. Thank you God! Bob has got to go and so does Ken. Nate stays and limbs until 6:00pm. Denise and the kids come up to see the carnage (of the trees - not Nate).</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 26TH, 2013</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Nate meets Todd at 7:30am and they begin to skid out trees. Noel and his friend Todd (different Todd than the skidder dude) show up and drop 9 more trees. Ken shows up and starts limbing again with Nate. By 1:30pm Noel, Todd and Ken have left and Todd (the skidder dude) and Nate are left. They work like mad men until 3:45pm to skid out the last logs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Final count - 32 full length trees taken out and about a dozen smaller pieces as well.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 27TH, 2013</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The temperature spikes to almost 40 degrees and it rains all day. We are so thankful we bumped up this whole operation and avoided this mess of a day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If this makes you tired to read....just think about actually doing it all. We never could have done it without Noel, Ken, Bob, Todd and Todd! Thank you guys!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here's a video recap of the adventure. It is a 10 min. video. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFs0wx4sAE0" target="_blank">If the whole thing doesn't play here is the direct link to it on YouTube.</a></span><br />

Just because there is not much to do up on the farm doesn't mean there isn't much to do. Over the next few days we'll bring you up to speed with the happenings around these parts.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One thing we will need for the cordwood home are glass bottles. These bottles will go into the wall, just like a log, and make a decorative addition. In the fall I struck up a conversation with the owner of a local restaurant named <a href="http://www.jebsrestaurant.com/" target="_blank">Jeb's</a>. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I told him about the house we were building and the need for colored glass bottles. He was happy to let me cart away all the empty bottles I needed. In fact my ritual this whole winter was, every Monday, to stop by the bar on my way home from work. I'm not a drinker - but the back room always had a few boxes of bottles waiting for us. Before we knew it we had a basement full.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here is a bit of picture summary of what we did with them. Followed by a video.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">First they came home in boxes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8clFLJLV6kesk2to4IxU2ftOW29wLlMK1uio9wv10uTmEMJ72NtPbFLXAXUZ_17-ZpgQkH2hw29UrrxGP5B2xtp9ya_0kc7nDpxQEvipVN92tJCEG1zevs9vrLlBxDa87v_bPBYTWyOSR/s1600/IMG_6055.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8clFLJLV6kesk2to4IxU2ftOW29wLlMK1uio9wv10uTmEMJ72NtPbFLXAXUZ_17-ZpgQkH2hw29UrrxGP5B2xtp9ya_0kc7nDpxQEvipVN92tJCEG1zevs9vrLlBxDa87v_bPBYTWyOSR/s640/IMG_6055.JPG" width="640" /></a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Then, into the sink to soak off the labels.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglTPyti9MGzXVp-beJP_q4EmFzF84WdJQ8RQlFIUVzO2TGhClGaWR7c_qYSoksV0D5oXxCjN8Kek7y0yW5ETTitscnI6O3bNqDmupxrLiyScFDXvP7h-uwLWc4dQ2-s4plkZ8Oh6n_2dEh/s1600/IMG_6059.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglTPyti9MGzXVp-beJP_q4EmFzF84WdJQ8RQlFIUVzO2TGhClGaWR7c_qYSoksV0D5oXxCjN8Kek7y0yW5ETTitscnI6O3bNqDmupxrLiyScFDXvP7h-uwLWc4dQ2-s4plkZ8Oh6n_2dEh/s640/IMG_6059.JPG" width="640" /> </a>Then, after a good scrubbing with the bottle brush and some soap it was dry time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> We found that the top of the gas stove was the best place to dry bottles. Here is a typical scene in the living room this winter.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Finally it was time to organize by color and get them re-boxed and ready to ship off to our secret storage facility deep in the heart of Lewis County (we'll share more on this later). We counted 221 bottles as of February 9, 2013. I think we'll call it quits for a while.</span><br />

It is a winter wonderland up there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We went up to go sledding and quickly realized that we will be needing to purchase a 4wheel drive vehicle that the whole family can ride in (the truck only seats 4). Every tree was covered and the birch were bent low with the weight of the snow. It was beyond words!</span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">October - December</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The push was on. There had been some scattered snow showers in November and now December was on us. If we were going to get the orchard mulched it was now or never. In the shadows snow still lay in a very thin veil on the ground, but in the sunny spots the frost hadn't quite set in yet.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We knew we had to find a reliable source of wood chips so we started making some calls. Tree service companies were hit-or-miss as they were willing to part with chips but only when they were in the area. The land is off the beaten track so most companies wanted us to pay them to haul it up there. So that was a "no-go".</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The other thing that is not helping is the fact that our area now has 2 bio-mass facilities where they pay loggers and tree service companies for their wood chips. Don't get us started on this one. First, of all this means a lot of loggers will be cutting extra trees that they wouldn't have normally (stuff that would be junk before is now dollar signs). Second, I had a chance to visit one of these plants and when I asked the general manager how efficient they were he shrugged his shoulders and said, "so-so". I don't believe that these plants should be labeled as "green energy" sources. But like I said.....don't get me started.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But all our calling wasn't in vain. We had known about a large wood chip pile quite near to us in a neighboring town. We thought it was only for the use of the people who lived in that town. Denise discovered that anyone could take from it and that the pile was refreshed quite often from town projects or local people who dumped wood chips there. So the wood chip issues seems to be resolved for the time being.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The second thing we needed was a large amount of cardboard. Nate did some calling on this and on a Friday drove to all the local appliance stores picking up all he could. He also got in touch with a local manufacture of cardboard boxes (yes we have a plant here in the county that makes cardboard boxes) and asked if they had any scrap or waste. They told him that they recycle all their waste but they did set aside bundles of boxes for the community, free of charge (you know - for moving, packing a kids for college, putting in an acre of garden space in an orchard....normal cardboard box stuff.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So in mid-December the mad rush to finish the orchard commenced. We borrowed one friend's full-size pick-up truck and another friend's double axle dump trailer to move the wood chips (we actually borrowed that first friends tractor as well to load the chips - he lives right near the pile). Seven full loads later we had all we needed to get the job done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here is a video and some pictures to show you the process.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Now that each apple tree was in, fertilized, and properly protected from pests...it was time to nurse them back to health. They had been stuck in gallon containers for who knows how long and we wanted to make sure they could spread their roots before the cold weather hit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">With the deer fence (simple concrete mesh) and the rodent mesh (hardware cloth) around the trees we knew they wouldn't get picked on...but they need water everyday.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">At first we were trucking up two 55 gallon drums of water from home, siphoning them into buckets and giving each tree about 7 - 8 gallons of water a day. We slowly weened that back to one 55 gallon drum and 5 gallons of water, per tree, per day. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We also put in posts to support each tree. At first they were pressure treated posts - because they were free from a deck that a friend tore down. Even though they were pretty old posts we decided to tear them out and put in cedar posts. Not sure what we were thinking when we put them in but who wants <span class="mw-headline" id="Chromated_copper_arsenate_.28CCA.29">chromated copper arsenate leaching into their apples.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="mw-headline" id="Chromated_copper_arsenate_.28CCA.29">As the summer led into fall we started gearing up for mulching around the trees. We had watched the documentary <a href="http://backtoedenfilm.com/" target="_blank">Back to Eden </a>(which you too can watch for free on their site). We'd like to get more and more into natural ways for growing food as well as initiating <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture" target="_blank">permaculture</a> techniques. Part of this involves planting crops next to each other that are mutually beneficial. We also want to try "no till" farming as much as possible.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="mw-headline" id="Chromated_copper_arsenate_.28CCA.29"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="mw-headline" id="Chromated_copper_arsenate_.28CCA.29">We knew we had to kill the grass/hay around the trees and put down some organic matter to plant in. Working at a hardware store provides me with tons of free cardboard. We have a full dumpster of the stuff every week. So I take my pick. We also have a wood chipper at work...and we just happened to cut down 65 trees this summer. So we planned to lay cardboard, chip the tree tops and lay it all around the trees.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Of course things don't always go as you plan. The massive amount of cardboard I had scarfed didn't nearly go as far as I thought it would...and then to top it all off the chipper broke down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But, the kids had a blast with the cardboard.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, winter is coming and the orchard is far from mulched. There is not enough cardboard, the chipper is down and out for quite a while, and the days are getting shorter </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Will our heroes finish the job before the snow flies? Will they have a restful and peaceful winter knowing that the orchard has been put to bed and the ground is being prepared under a blanket of mulch and snow all winter long for the spring planting?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Well......way back in July, Nate was looking around the outside of the hardware store he works at and noticed something. There were about a dozen apple trees still out front that hadn't sold from the spring tree sale. And they were marked down to 50% off! Being the smart and thrifty man he is - he put two and two together. Picking up the phone he called Denise.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">"Hello, Honey-Puff," he said. "Would you like 11 apple trees to plant up on the farm. We could start an orchard and raise happy little apples." </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">"Oh Cookie-Bear," she screamed with delight. "I would love 11 apples trees to plant on the farm in the middle of the hottest month of the year." </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">"Super-duper," came Nate's reply back to her. "I'll bring them home tonight. By the way....they all look a little sick from being in their gallon containers for the past 5 months....but I'm sure we can pull them through."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So off went 6 Winesap Dwarfs, 4 Yellow Lodi Semi-Dwarfs, and 1 lonely Yellow Delicious Dwarf to the farm....and there was much rejoicing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here are some pictures of the progress. It took a few days but we got them all in the ground. We mixed Alpaca dung (thanks Kim and Scott) along with rotted hay in each hole as a kind of "fertilizer cocktail".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We spotted this momma and son prairie dog digging holes down the hill and decided to put their skills to work in the orchard.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Each tree got a cedar post for support (not installed when this pic was taken), hardware cloth to protect the truck from critters, and two pieces of 10' x 5' wire mesh (the kind used in concrete floors for strength) for it's own personal fencing system. No way deer are getting near these guys!</span></div>
