Fellin', Peelin', and Birds

Today we fell the first trees.  All the trees in the cordwood walls will be Poplar.  There is a good bit on the land but we'll need to find some more.  We need about 34 cord at 16" long and 6 cord at 8" long

Unloading the pallets that we will stack the cordwood on.  Nate's been collecting these from work.  Many more to come.

Getting off a missed limb stub.

Nevin - helping to clear brush.

Our good friend Tim, and Denise peeling logs with "spuds".

Two trees down, sectioned, and peeled.....many more to go.

 

Yes...that is Nevin with an ax....

We hung up these swallow houses that we made on the property to encourage some natural bug predators to move in.

This pretty much says it all.
