Here's how it stands in 2023. Hoping to get all walls done this year and started on the roof.

Well I'm kind of embarrassed now after looking that it's been under construction for 6 years but life gets ahead of you sometimes. It's still in progress got a little more siding up but still got to finish a few walls not even sure when I'm going to get more time to work on it got a new job...

Your absolutely right. Bad thing was that was a brand new blade put on Sunday morning. I cut three med size logs and hit nails right off the bat on the 4th. I couldn't find anyone close that would sharpen the 16 blades I have. So we bought blades from a woodmizer dealer a hour and a half...

We get cracked Eggs sometimes and sometimes really dirty eggs. I know what people say but a lot of times I simply pick them up and throw them the girls. They will rush it (they free range). They'll eat all of it and what they don't the 2 lgd will. I'll continue to do this until we see a problem...
