Hurricane

[KillerFord1977]

I have spent about $5k to tree crews removing treacherous trees from the property thus far. If I can find a skid steer to rent I will be clearing deadfalls through Christmas. I am buying as many chainsaw blades as I can find. My pine plantation is pretty much wrecked, there are very few straight trees remaining. The cotton crop in the area is a loss for most as most if the boles were stripped from the plants by the wind. We were pretty fortunate with little damage to buildings, except my range house that was flipped over and dropped 100 ft away. But we shall persevere!

Glad you and family are safe.
Shame about all the damage to the area.

Dragged the range house out of the peanut field this morning. It will be tricky setting it upright. Still piles of debris and downed trees everywhere. But I got internet back at the house a little bit ago! It will be months to recover from the downed trees but edging toward normalcy.

We set up the range house today. I need to dig some big holes for the poles to drop it in but looks like I can salvage it

We have extensive damage to the property from the hurricane. We are just getting cell ans some internet service. The people and our house and shop and cabin are fine.

This one was tricky bad. We had more trees down from Isaias than from Ivan around Milton. I did so much chainsaw work the first week after I got a little lax and came this close to messing my leg up pretty bad. As it stands I'm nursing a few cuts, one of which is pretty deep, but luckily my wife is retired medical and fixed me up without the need to go to ER/Urgent care. Those 5.11 pants are in the garbage, though!

Chainsaw chaps!

Chainsaw chaps!

It's on my list! I've had A LOT of people recommend those and I should've already been using them. Praise the Lord I managed to get far enough out of the way this time to avoid "awful."
