Chip is watching Papa lift the shed with the bobcat so he can put poplar poles under it for skids and rolling power.
Ok now you can REALLY see it. We started 2 years ago and took about a 8th of the trees out starting by the raised beds. Then last fall and this spring we really went at it and it's mostly finished behind the shed. This sounds easy but mostly it was black spruce with a bit of white spruce and poplar mixed in. Black spruce is the WORST tree on the place we've had to deal with yet. They grow tall and spindly with lots of branches and very close together and the wood is pretty useless if it's small. We took all the black spruce out first and then took a good look at was was left and decided to take them all out! This spring we decided to MOVE the shed and are VERY happy with it so far. As you can see we left a 20 foot buffer of trees between us and the neighbor and about 30 feet between us and the road. Our 5 acres is very long and narrow.. the shed you see above the trailer in the picture is the neighbors.
