The Logging Continues...

Here's the latest in a series of progress pictures.  I ran out to the farm at lunch to see how things were going with both the demolition of the house (The Dumpster Blues) and the logging operation.  First the house.  Here's a montage I put together to show the varying states of change.

Slowly but surely, it's coming down.

Along with the dance of the dumpsters, some of the slowness can also be attributed to our contractor, Tracy, doing his best to preserve any old beams he sees in the structure and keeping an eye out for the other (non-clawfoot) cast iron bath tub (seen below).

HEY!  Who left the toilet seat up...again?!!!

As for the logging operation, they continue to work on the clear-cut areas first.  The lumber mill shut down yesterday and wasn't accepting any more of the smaller trees that they grind up for pulpwood, so they just created a pile.

The pulpwood operation will be back online tomorrow and they'll haul those out.  In the meantime, the larger trees that they use for "chip and saw" are being hauled away, which is what is on the truck in the picture above.

Everything seems to be humming along.  There is still a lot of timber yet to be cut.  With rain forecast over the next couple of days, they'll probably have to move to the higher and drier areas of the farm if they want to keep working.

So much happening at once.

We'll keep you posted.
