That's coming along good, and those are some rugged saw horses that you've built. The only thing missing is a more complete view of that Jeep in the background. I know, some of us are never satisfied.

Those saw horses can take a beating. My younger son is putting in a lift kit, 34" tires, bigger axles etc, doing everything but a diesel engine, the shop has been filled the past few weeks.

On a side note, can you keep your pet chipmunks up at your place if you dont they will and are being shot on sight. I just got my Rhino back from Whittemore the other day, Flow bailed me out this time but she might frown on it if your pet chipmunks comes after my Rhino again.

WOW!!! You built that with wood off your property?? How long did it take!!:laughing:

I'd say it took Loaderman 3 years and he's doing well for 250 years old.

I suppose a picture is warranted.

Nice trailer, wont that look good with side racks made of white oak. As for hauling wood or brush, wouldn't a dump trailer work better?

Jstpssng thanked me for not posting the other thing you put in your post, I was just trying to narrow down what thing he was referring to!

There are chipmunks every where you look this year. I never paid the cute little things much attention. But after seeing that mess I guess I better. Had no idea they had that much hate in them. Yikes.

Well yes, but my truck won't haul an 18' dump trailer, or at least it's not rated to. They are also a metric ton more money and hard to get a 4500lb car up into. This was a compromise for now, besides the neighbor has a dump trailer still that I can borrow.

First panel is in place, it was a struggle but it's there with just a little bit more thumb leveling to do. I just dont know where the 16' went, should've been 20 but didn't have the logs......

Makes since $$$, dont forget a picture when you get the side racks on.

(pictures removed)

That looks good. :thumbsup: It will work just fine for a while. Next winter you will probably decide to add another panel though.

I was wondering why you hauled water down to dump into the stream... then realized that you're south of the Bangor Dixfield line, and got a pile or rain in the last week or so.

As for the chipmunks; I sent them your way because they were displaced by the woodchucks you sent up here.
Actually my mother down in Auburn is complaining about the same thing... I used to like seeing them when I was a kid but apparently they're out of control this year.
