You are going to mess up the wood chipper by overloading it

[fredrauscher]

You should get yourself one of those deals where you can put the tree on one end and hock the other end on your tractor and pull it down the road

[garyfurr]

If you have a 4 wheeler then you can get a log splitter

[JohnSmith-efsp]

Ah to be young feel your invincible again. Work safe you two, it isn't worth it getting injured by trying to toss a chunk of wood ten feet. Been watching since the build started. Be smart, be safe, be happy. Thanks for the videos.

[billroberts]

The chipper sure does a great job of chopping up the limbs and wood. Yes, the chickens will love their new bedding. Blessings to you both.

[GaryRupp-fely]

Dude even bucking hay, Katie you are the best soul mate anyone could ask for... 👍💯❤

[alannorman]

Greg you are the hardest working man on YouTube, roofing, building a house, plumbing, electrical and more. You are so so blessed to have a partner like Katie. Please watch your back Katie. You to are a million dollar couple.

[reggiedaniels]

Katy, you go girl! I see you hanging in there and you are not afraid to try things that seem to big for your little body. I'm proud to watch you all work together! I've got three daughters and one son. My girls often show my son how to get things done!

[carolejohnston]

You both work great together. Some nice sponsor needs to gift you a wood splitter...I sure hope there's one out there. You are a hard working couple, what we British call 'grafters'. Regards from Scotland ❤️

Since I am a very old man now, I sure do wish for you kids that my fortune in logging and mechanicing auto shops was still here as I would of passed it on to the two of you, that said, part would go to Jay and Jen as they are the hoot! They are just making the best of it as they know how to do. Always putting a smile on my face as the two of you do. At one time, I did own one of the largest helicopter salvage logging companies in the usa., that said, at least on the west coast. I made several poor decisions that resulted in my going broke from not knowing how to read or write. My son came down with cancer and so it motivated me to learn to read, if you can read, then auto correct will get you writing. I was a super proud man and that also did me very poorly as I just thought I was the stuff and all of that. Several years later, I know I am just a man with many visions. I would so loved to have some of the logging equipment that I used to own and put in a huge garden space for you. Hmm, I even had a drill rig that could of drilled a well for you kids. That is one of my wishes I have had for a very long time for you kids. I am to guess that my heart is in the right place at least. I take the full blame for my bad transgressions, and know god still does love me, as he does all of his kids

Always a good mix of interesting music cues. Excellent shooting and cutting Katy. Cheers from Northern California

[kray]

We admire you Katy..we affectionately say.."good work Katy girl"!!! I got my husband hooked on this vlog!

[martykennedy]

Katy and Greg, nobody can say that you two have no work ethic. I know so many people who rely on others for their existence and they wouldn’t know “work ethic” if they tripped over it. Carry on my Canadian Cousins but always be safe and alert!

[phillipkeeling]

One of my fav activities. Sitting in my recliner with a vodker n tonic watching youse guys work like animals! Love all them critters. We have a bunch a spoiled ones too.

[MartinWaite]

It’s great to see you guys working as a team and you never seem to hardly get a day off.

[TheNikitis]

Wanted to comment on your chainsaw. I have the same one and i've only had the chain come off once out of cutting down 1800+ trees with it so far. It's a beast, and a good choice. You may be having slightly less luck with chain staying on due to blade size. I use a 24'inch and it's sufficient for our trees and works well. Also if a chain only barely nips a branch it's more likely to throw vs just following through. It's not meant for light duty limbs and will increase chain falling off if used for that purpose. This is meant for large thick limbs/trees. Use a smaller chainsaw for small brush.

Anyway, my 2 cents with the same chainsaw.

[paulmonk]

Got a tarp to catch the chips? Less shoveling. Or drop the bucket and use it to catch chips.

I heard and believed for a long time that the tamarack and larch were the only deciduous conifers until I stumbled on a bald cypress and came to find out that there is around 20 deciduous confers.

[kubehan]

Larch wood is valued for its tough, waterproof and durable qualities. Top quality knot-free timber is in great demand for building yachts and other small boats, for exterior cladding of buildings, and interior paneling.

[swisscheese]

in the 70 s we would drive to golden and pu larch 1x4 tong and groove . most beautiful paneling
