After 2 weeks of hard work, the field is finally tilled up. We’ve got the peppers in already, in the back.

Also, most of my 30-ft maple is split into firewood, and drying against the shed.

Watching my 4-yr old helping mommy plant the food is one of the best things I’ve ever seen.

Thanks Bro.
It was a really fun project. I was obsessed for about 5 months, every evening and weekend I was making progress. I saw too many half finished project jeeps when I was looking to buy one.

Cool.

Boy, you have me jealous with access to hardwood like that. I'd love to have a chunk of that Maple for an Anvil stand.

Makes nice furniture too.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

If you ever want to make a road trip, you’re more than welcome, sir.

I don’t have the skills to make anything with it, other than firewood. Tried a chainsaw on it a few days ago, and got nowhere. It’s tough stuff!
