I was bush hogging everything...including my Husky chainsaw!

Yup, chopped that thing up into many smaller pieces!

Note to self: When you get done with a tool, put it up!

I guess you will be putting that Stihl to use now.  You are going to love that thing compared to the Husqvarna...

Looks like a good day of work nonetheless.

When I first saw the picture of the Husky, I thought Red dog might have been involved!

Looking good, all the mowing will be appreciated by your deer herd!  Nice fire ring too, big enough to put some major chunks of wood in it.  ;)

That is some nice land Don, I envy you.

I had mine up to around 70 when I got mine. It is light but has drag with being a foot wider than the truck with the square edges. The legs in the back are nice it is a fort for the kids playing nerf.

Your little wood pile reminds me of where I used to camp with my father. Went back year after year and the unused wood was still there.
That's why the boys are going with me.

You're welcome friend!

BTW, as with all my "Projects" lots of things going on in the background.

I may build the cabin myself, but I am also looking at some Kentucky built Amish cabins. I'm not a huge fan of the Amish, because they will not stand with me and others in battle to defend the country they choose to live in, but they do great work.

A local builder mates 14' wide sections into some spectacular little units.

Here are some of the possibilities:

I smiled when I saw this picture. Not because it happened to you, but because the one I own is on a quick path to 180 grains of angry lead.
I've somehow managed to have the choke lever break yet again...
This may be the result of a couple pounds of tannerite and some high speed lead!

The place is opening up and looks good !
I wonder if you could cut out the middle man, buy "panels" straight from the source, and slap a cabin together yourself. You have at least one friend, 2 boys, a truck with a winch, and a tractor. Heck, I bet you could bring back Atlantis with that box of tools! (sorry Duane, didn't mean to call you a tool)

Don, can you build on the old foundation? That would save a bunch and keep more people out.

Kits sound like a great way to go.

Keep the roads simple with just DG or gravel so you can access in all weather.

The foundation is a CMU basement that is shot.  Years of failing gutters, downspouts draining right at the foundation and grading that went towards the house has caused it to fail.  It has buckled inwards on two walls and the last time I was in the basement, there was 6 inches of standing water.

That basement is beyond repair, and it is only a half basement. I have something more "Interesting" in mind if I choose that route.

I might build it myself, haven't decided yet

Step 1, in several parts is to get the camper down there and operational
1a. Clear the road in large enough to accommodate the camper
1b. Have a shed of some sort there to serve as a work shop to stage out of that will have electrical service that the camper can plug in to
1c. Get a water source such as a 1500 gal water tank on site so I have that going on

When all that is in place, I could make a run at living there in extremis, but would also be able to spend several days there in a row whilst building the real cabin

Brush hog made quick work of that Husky i see.... Wowzer that's a bummer.

Nice work on the property, starting to really look great. That pic of the Firepit and stack of wood is really cool. Taking in a sunset up there with your family is going to be amazing.

Growing grass on the last couple acres of my place that we cleared earlier this year.  Give the animals a little more room to roam.  It is nice to have some elbow room and see it turn into what you want it to be.

Then on the way out tonight, the Air Dog started leaking fuel. I had just added 35 fresh gallons to the 57 gallon Atlas tank, but it gave some of it to the Kentucky highway system on the drive home.
I am so flat tired (Exhausted) that I just don't care right now!

So yes, we built a picnic table. Down there we need about everything. There is no real shelter and you eat your lunch sitting on the trailer, so I wanted to get the table in there, with some temporary cover. Plus it's my chance as a dad to teach the boys skills they will need. All three of us piled in on the project which took 2.5 hours and was a blast

Those fields are growing, and fast! I'll have to bush hog them 3 times a year to stay on top

First order of business was to get the table positioned near the fire pit, and some overhead cover going on

Concept of the operation remains clearing brush, cutting back things so I can see all around, and discovering what I own, exactly.

I spent about 6 hours on the tractor running the MX-6 rotary cutter which is doing a great job on everything up to about a 2" caliper tree.

Here's a before/after of a pesky patch of brush some knucklehead could use as concealment and get close

I'm starting to move in around the pond. It was a thicket, but I now have access and the brush mostly cut away. It sits behind the trees. You are looking at the dam

The property is mostly bush-hogged at this point and I have cut maybe a mile+ of trails so I am happy with the progress. We found several water sources, have tillable (Rich) land, fenceable critter pastures with ponds if I fill them, and one feature I like is the old two-track is worn down into the planet 2-4 feet for a lot of it's distance, allowing one to move about on it in defilade as viewed from the sides, however I can see up and down a lot of that length. That is a handy tactical advantage

So, the plan remains to constantly improve the fighting position as General Parapit once told me when I was a junior officer. He invented the parapet fighting position.

I need to open up the access road some or I will not be able to get anything back in there, including the camper.

So I am going to start looking for someone who has one of those brush cutters that just erases trees and anything else it encounters. The cutter works in the vertical plane so scrubbing on those trees should get me the clearance I need

I have a conversation going with a Mr. Yoder, an Amish man who builds cabins and sheds and the like. He has quoted me a 14 X 32 cabin with a 6' double barn door, a steel service door and 4 windows, delivered on site for $6400.

I think I am going to execute on that plan and get something in there. That will become temporary shelter, storage, and a work shop from which I will build the larger structure .

So that's it for now...the build continues!

Maybe you should look into getting a batwing mower for all those fields. It would take much less time to cut it all. The land is really starting to open up and looks nice. Good looking table also. ;)

Great table!  Also makes a great shooting bench!

I did notice one issue with the new Stihl though, that chain needs to be outta the dirt and actually around the bar for it to work......... ;D

Nice sounding cabin plan- Yoder is one of your more common names in the Amish community.  Friend of mine moved form So. Iowa to So. Missouri - his Farrier in IA was named Yoder; goes to find a local one in MO and HIS name is Yoder!

I look at the lay of your land now that it's cut, and I envision feed strips laid out around the edges, then start hearing the calls of Quail and think of running dogs!  You must be smack dab in the middle of Quail country down there.......and I also thought of a Still, in addition to the new Stihl, since you're in Bourbon Country as well.

Question: What is that stone behemoth- Outdoor grill/fireplace or what?  I'm talking about the one with the vines growing on it, not the fire ring.

You're right about the bat wing

But I can't afford that and the tractor to pull all that right now. Still have to build in the place, fix big red, mother's day, birthdays...well you get the picture

I'll go in order here Mike

Good table, cause the boys built it and learned something.

I'll definitely shoot something off of it in the very near future

Yep, chain came off the stihl, which signaled time for me to jump on the tractor and start to whacking weeds

This Yoder guy is the owner of the local "Cabin Factory who sells to all the vendors. $6400 from him or $8200 from them

Def interested in quail. I offered about a forth of my place to Ky fish and game for quail introduction. Those bozos were not the least bit interested! Kept coming up with excuses, and frankly I just don't have time for these unresponsive, non-caring government types

A still? I'm not a drinker, but if I needed it for fuel, well different story. Other thing is I try to obey the law...Would be fun to engineer it, but I think I bend my hydro tasks to getting some well capable of pumping some clean water.

Does that trailer give you better fuel mileage pointing down hill like it does? Seems like it would just push you along!

I did!

Mileage was up to a trip average of 33.2MPG with the trailer (going down hill), but only 7.3M without it going back uphill!

Is that first picture level, or is the house really off level that bad?

I sure like that hydro axe, but a string type cutter mounted up front would be better for maintenance.

Nice bench and great looking land.

JR,

The house is the only thing on the whole property that is level!

hey now, I think there are a few of us on here that would have absolutely no problem using that fine building as long as we didn't have to utilize a mixture of mogas and jp-8 to burn what it was that  we evacuated from our systems........  ;D

we all know that MRS flyin6 will never, ever, be asked to conduct such duties, but on the other hand, I  think we have many such vol-in-tolds for such a mission......... :o

I am guessing such folks like
the flyin 6 pre-rangers
the dustoff pre-ranger
ken
tate
bob
the guy from the land of Obama (mike, still love yah!)
that electrician guy from mass
I think there is a guy from LA/TX that does a lot of heavy equipment stuff (ash)
the guy that used to own great lakes off road and is now taking some family time (shawn)
we have a suit from TX (R/N)

oh what the heck, everybody gets a turn doing this!

"suit", ha!  Man, Nate, just because I work behind a desk don't mean I don't have calluses.  You know how hard it is pushing a pencil?  That's dangerous work, I could get a splinter....or even a paper cut.  Good thing I keep quick clot in my desk drawer....
