Unfortunately, nothing as glamorous as a pond or pool, but...

I'm sitting on a nice 1.5ac lot, but my backyard looks like this... BEFORE

Neighbor lady asks, "Where are you going to park that"

Anywhere I want. How about here

Need the mill to come pick up their logs

^That is a little deceiving. Those are 18' cuts

Aweome! I wasn't quite expecting that big rig. LOL. Post up some photos when all the work is done and the area is cleared. What are you going to do with that area?

For now just a hammock and maybe a BBQ pit. One day maybe a pull-through 2x2 garage.

An employee... Impressive

You guys have some serious undergrowth in your woods, much denser than here (Maryland). They let you drive that excavator?

God that looks like fun, did you rent it? When I worked at a power line company, I ran a gyro machine that would turn that lot into a parking lot in a couple hours, was a thousand a day for the big one.

I learned to drive on this loooong before I could reach the pedals on a full size pickup. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1402071662.306885.jpg

Been driving track equip for just as long.

Not a rental. Dad just pulled it off a job, so I had him "store" it at my house in the mean time. Never priced one either, but a D7 dozer is 900/day.

I've been at this house about 7 years fixing it up. Clearing the back has always been in the plan
