Just A Summer Update With Pictures

Recently our good neighbor buddy Dale enlisted the help of a cohort, who owns a much needed Hydraulic Log Splitter. An uncommonly wet spring and early summer led to a late start in dealing with the wood from the now deceased, massive pine trees that were previously felled, here at The Pavilion. As of this entry, those trees (their remnants anyway) are still having the last word. Even with the aid of the splitter, it's extremely slow going, due to schedules and the sheer size of the job itself. After one full day and trailer load worth of splitting, the trunk sections from the Ponderosa are still dominating that side of the front yard - and we have barely started on the pine rounds in the back yard! It may very well take the rest of this year to get the job done, but we're making progress. Here are some scenes featuring Dale and his friend Dick (in the yellow shirt) who was so cool to share his gadget with us. Don't miss the exciting video at the bottom!
