Gonna be burning brush for a while, An acre and quarter worth.


 


I would like to build some type of building or two for all my equipment and one for the mill. Will be open for a while cause I've run out of $$ getting this far.

I am on a laptop and I wish that I had not done that control thing.  I had a huge window thing open above my normal page and had a tough time getting rid of it.  Moral of my story, don't mess with stuff.   smiley_dizzy

It says Pretty Rock Farm.


 

Here's one, It's a white granite rock that weighs 3500 to 4k. It has White quarts all over it.


 

And here is a piece of Blue Ledge with White quarts striped through it. Weighs about 1500lbs


 

I'm going to try and sell some pretty rocks if I can.

David, you did a really good job clearing that land. It looks nice and you'll be able to see the deer now. ;)

This is what the snow in the woods looked like last winter, can't hardly step without stepping in a Deer track.

I had internet trouble all day yesterday and I find that you all are picking on me.  :D
GRITS,Girls Raised In The South are mighty fine. Now grits is a whole diffeant story and thread too.  ;D
Now about them rocks. I could not even clear a 10 foot square area on my land without finding a bunch of rocks.
dsgsr,you got it made there. That area looks a lot bigger than 10 square feet to me.  ;D
A guy up the road tried to clear some rocks of his land.  ::) He has a pile on one side of his camp,a pile on the other side and still has rocks in the middle of it all.  ;D
This is an old pasture that I am clearing. There are plenty of rock that are ground level,plenty above ground too.
Them 2 that are on the right came from the woods road. A bigger tractor or something bigger and those would not be there. That pile of dirt is to fill up any rock holes or to smooth out a place. I try to bring up a bucket load of dirt each time I go by.


 

A picture of work in process.



 

Noticed the bigums on the stone wall. Just past the stone wall is what we call The New Piece. We brought back some of The Farm. Last year I finally got to a few of them rocks. We have been mowing around rocks the size of our head for about 10 years.  ::) Much quicker to mow that field now.
