Nice looking woodshed. You guys living up in cold regions take your firewood seriously. By necessity I suppose. Where I live a fire in the fireplace is for ambiance or BBQ.
Thanks, that was one of my first projects when we bought the place and I learned quickly its a tad too small, but way better then nothing like I grew up with. I've got more hardwood then I know what to do with at the moment, as a guy down the road was building a house last year and I got cords and cords of unprocessed wood from him. I also have more pine then I know what to do with but that is reserved for the outdoor fire pit so I go through it much slower. I wish I could heat primarily with wood but we only have a large open fireplace which gets used a ton and being that it's a small house it's does alright. we keep the thermostat at 58 in the winter.Nice looking woodshed.

So we don't need very much.
You call .4 inches in 20 minutes a down pour? We just call that a slight increase in humidity in Alabama. Golf ball size rain drops actually hurt a bit when they hit. DEAFENING under a metal roof. We had 1.5 inches in one hour once last summer. I started researching Noah’s plans for the ark. I don’t mind heavy rain as long as it’s falling straight down. When it goes horizontal is when I get a little nervous.
That looks like some happy kids. Make sure they listen to Classic Rock, and you’ll have unparalleled parenting skills.Was chipping through some of the brush piles until we got rained out, when it stopped we just went for a trail ride

, well what I listen to might be close enough 
Mine was the same, overgrown with brush, but some old growth timber too. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a single pine back there that hasn’t been struck by lightning, some of them big hits. I’ve been hacking away at it for 20 years, but only started making significant progress after I got the LX. Then, I got the grapple for it, and did as much work in an afternoon as I did in the previous 3 years. It’s a lot easier with a new tractor when all ya got left is an old body.

They both love being outside, they don’t sit around much watching tv, etc…last weekend we were working on clearing out some more brush. When we moved out here in 2017 there was maybe 1/2-3/4 of an acre that was kept mowed up around the house, rest was overgrowth that hadn’t been touched in years. Now we got around 5-6 that’s cleared for them to run around, their little “farm”, and the timber trails.
When on 'foot' be sure to remind the kiddo's to watch for snakes. They are really moving in my area and yours right now. Your children have a wonderful place to grow up and play. Many are not as fortunate. Good job Dad!

You might try some medium rubbing compound, and perhaps get much of that scratch out.
She is deeply into concentration, and absolutely delighted that dad will let her use the hoe.

I hope not, but it appears that it is thru the color coat. I had some deep scratches from new that showed yellow, I carefully filled them with Kubota touch up paint, then sanded with very fine wet or dry followed by a polish. Turned out perfect but the scratches weren’t so wide.
