Getting close to done with my retirement project I started almost 9 years ago. I have a couple more trees to take down. These trees came up wild while I was digging out the stumps from having the land clear cut. By the time I got to the back they were 20-30 feet tall. I had to change gears from digging stumps to taking down trees that were infected with fusiform rust.

This is what the last little area looked like in September.

This is how I made it look today.

After picking up the piles and screening some I picked up what I could and tilled it. Today I did the final step with my homemade 2X6 drag.

Looks great. What planning to do with that space?

It qualifies as a home site but I'm just going to let the grass grow and mow it.

Good work, by the time you seed it and clean the equipment, another 5-10 must do projects will pop up.
