We had his family out to the property to see the place, and get a look what we've been doing. They've never been out there before, so it was really fun to show it off.
After that, we went to a country bar, where his sister ordered ALL THE FRIED THINGS. I've never seen anyone have so much fun with a menu. (She doesn't usually eat like that at all, so this was a huge treat for her).
Otherwise, we've been logging. Most of the logs are peeled, other than about 12 or so that are buried at the bottom of the pile. We've switched to cutting the peeled logs into 16" lengths, at least until we get the last of the barked variety freed up.
We made a nifty cutting table that holds the log at a nice height. I steady the log, and push it along as Scott cuts the 16's off.
There have been a couple of them that were so freakin' huge, we had to just cut them on the ground. We had been referring to those as BFLs (Big Fucking Log), but then decided that a better name would LOH (Lots of House). Reminding ourselves that those giant hogs will actually produce quite a lot of house, makes them easier to deal with.
Then I usually toss the 16's on the pile, while Scott racks up another log for cutting. My levitating skills come in very handy for this.
