I havent made much progress on habitat stuff yet this year with the exception of some edge feathering to satisfy this years requirement from the EQIP contract.
I can say that the new home construction on the farm is complete (ISH) and we have moved there full time. This has been a huge undertaking but will be great to raise my family here and make maintenance and improvements easier not having to be 15 minutes from our home.
I will share some more pictures when we get settled in.

Didn't get any pics of the fire, but burned about 100 acres yesterday. Little man wanted to get out of the house for a bit and check on the progress with me.

Got the mailbox up Wednesday, it feels official when you change your mailing address.
The post was left over from the big beams I had milled from the cedars off the farm.

Tell us more about the cedar beams that you milled please. I will be cutting some fair sized diameter cedars sometime this year and was anticipating milling some of them. But I don't know that I have anything real specific in mind to do with them. So I would be curious to see what someone else has come up with. TIA.

Long Story short, I had some big a s s cedars in a 3-4 acre section on the back of the farm. Once I saw the quote on the 8x8 timbers I wanted for my big covered patio on the back of the house I got creative. Cut down 32 sticks, limbed and skidded out with tractor and hauled to the amish to mill out for me. Milling cost $600 vs the $13k from a lumber yard (and that was western cedar). I had quite a bit of leftover 1x4's & 6's so I found other uses for it along the way to save some more coin.

This is what I used as sealer/protectant
Old timer that used to own kenmar lumber here in NCMO advised me it would help hold the rich red color of the wood. been pretty happy with the look.

Several other odds and ends from the leftover wood. Trimmed out my man cave cabinet tops, man doors and built my range hood in the kitchen from cedar as well. Invested in a table saw and tabel top planer as well, they have paid for themselves 10x over id say.
