    Chris… Fella you already know my deep, sincere respects for you, for your skills and abilities with machines, soil and trees. Will you please do me a huge favour and let Robert know just how much I respect him as well for the hardworking man he proves himself to be and for all his skills with machine and earthmoving. He really is an awesome guy, a hugely valuable member of your team.

    This property looks like the one you cut drainage ditches in years ago. I think it was before the Bealy Good videos of the small pond build. 30 years ago my neighbor and I built a new wooden fence using used RR ties as posts and cementing them in the ground. That fence is still standing strong today allthough we did have to replace some boards after 25 years or so.

I'll dig into the middle of it and make like a volcano with the path I dug into the middle going with the wind direction.. and light the pile in the center and the outside. You might be surprised and the time saved burning those types of piles.

    I’m kind of surprised you don’t have a telehandler, Chris, for shuffling things around and loading/unloading materials and attachments. My guess is that you are just so comfortable with excavators that it makes more sense this way, but I wonder whether you might get some good use out of a telehandler as well.

    Have you ever had anybody come to you about ashes falling all over their stuff? I bought an old house that we was going to tear down but the fire department said they will burn it for the new guys could practice. Any way my neighbor said he had to repaint his wife’s car after that because the ashes did a number on it. He wasn’t mad or nothing and he didn’t mention it till a guy that painted it moved next door

      yeah I try to keep track of the winds so they dont blow towards houses but it happens. my truck gets covered in ashes all the time burning and Ive never had a issue, can be hard to wash off once they get wet though
