Well I have been dealing with a bull headed project, fixing a row of stacked wood. What happen is the row with this years wood on have started to fail and also sink into the ground and started to topple over in spots. The other half of the problem was the wood we burnt last year was cleared off the other half of the row leaving the pallets whiiich some smart horses though were better to walk on then the snow covered ground smashing a bunch of them. I put and end to that by putting a layer of wood over them. I had a couple choices, haul dirt to reclaim more land and set up a new row or fix what's there, I picked the latter.

Sunk right to the ground....



So I layed down gravel past the end of the current pile, made a new end block and layed new pallets, taking down the current row and re stacking it. Once the sunk pallets were cleared I pulled them up, cleared any bark, layed gravel and new pallets, continue till the whole 115ft row is done...buh...IMG_6641[1].JPG

Kinda had to straighten the row just a touch also

So I completed the 12c that was stacked on the first half so now the next half will be easier as there was just some extra wood dropped on top of the pallets to stop the horses from trying to walk on them and breaking any more boards. Roll the wood off, pull the pallets, lay gravel and replace any smashed pallets, then any wood I cut this year will get stacked and not sink.

Yup that's my wife riding shot gun!! She had a blast!!


I picked up this toy this summer, 1989 Suburban 350 TBI factory, 4 speed, 241, 8274 winch, and sadly 10B front with a 9.5 14B rear, 8in Rough country lift with a 6in block under the front, 2...uh... 6in in the rear all riding on 21.5 x 16.1 Ag tire ...it had no brakes initially till I got a hold of it .... and ya it hauls .... all for 2K !!

It's a rough built but the price reflected that, I do plan plan on doing perch drops to ditch the blocks, and an anti wrap bar, and all ready have a T case clocking ring for it in the shop. there will be other upgrades along the way to. We do quite a bit of 4x4ing in winter, snowby4ing, cause the whole property is a play ground and no mater what you do, you can always dig you self out, try that in a swamp...alone...

The mud bog I went in this summer.... = 4th in the mods and 6hrs of pressure washing ....

Keep on ... Runnin' Loads ...!!!
