More Cedar!

Its taken me a bit to get this posted, but the Tuesday after we got back from Arkansas with the first load of cedar trees, Jeremy and Scott went to pick up another load from a gentleman south of town.  He is clearing several acres of cedars from his property and we offered to buy the trunks from him for a reasonable price.  his aren't quite as long or as large as the ones we got from AR, but some of them are pretty nice.  Most will make great fence posts if nothing else.

Anyway, the upside is that these are much closer to us.  The down side is that there is no equipment to help load the logs.  It took everything Jeremy and Scott had to get all these loaded onto the trailer (as well as a come along and a litany of words I will not be re-typing here).  Thank goodness for awesome brothers!

The loaded trailer

One of the bigger logs - about 16" across

The unloading, of course, went much more smoothly.  The little ones were dropped off at the farm and the big ones were unloaded at Tim's with the excavator.  One of these days, we'll get to mill them into the appropriate timbers.
