More Logs

Out on the mountain last thing today looking for more timber to scavenge. The same site as where I got the longer cypress timbers for the roof project, no more cypress of the size I need, but some logs of cedar should fit the bill. I think I will need to lighten them down with the chainsaw before I can haul them out. One is only a little over 4m, but the other I need will be over 5m and about 6x8 inches in section once it is cut back. The slopes are clear of leaves, but the shrubs down in where the logs had fallen were pretty wippy and grabby, I shall take some instruments to clear them back a bit next time I go. Today I only went to measure after striping the logs of their bark
