I don't know either of the animals you mentioned. I don't think we have those in Georgia.

Its like you took a big eraser and wiped the slate clean. Good stuff! I was reading the comments about taking down some trees and my thoughts are if you can't go completely around the structure with your tractor, I would consider getting them down. It would make it easier to clear debris, plow snow and to turn around. So exciting, take care Sandy! 👋🍁

Sandy I am looking forward to seeing your new design and build as I too will soon be building a mill shed once retired. Third times a charm and lets hope this fall weather we are having continues so you can git er done! Cheers.

When I’m envisioning a structure or pile, or other obstruction around my property. I will take marking paint maybe some stakes and mark everything out and live with it a week or so. Drive around it with tractor, experiment with whatever might need to occur around it, look at it at night during the day etc. it has enabled me to make layout, location, utility, and just satisfaction with the final location and orientation adjustments that would always bug me later. Cheap easy no effort step. I don’t have the time left to do it twice. Enjoy your content sir trying do something similar on 30 acres in sc, USA. Did live in Nova Scotia so sympathize with your winters.

I like where you're going with it so far. Also, consider drainage. If the ground is flat for 20 meters around the structure, it may be worth raising a pad about 8" high, out 20' or so from the building where u will be accessing it with tractor and such. That way you don't have to drag logs and your equipment thru a mud-hole to load logs, move lumber, etc... Then during snowmelt and rainy seasons, you will have a dry island to work on.

That set up, you could pull an F150 up a tree if you wanted!

Looks like you're making good progress,and have good weather to boot. (edit....Did you ever find a mixer for the concrete?)

Where do you get your baskets to put the wood in

You know, when I was tractor shopping a couple of years ago I stumbled across your channel (and others) and used all that experience to find the right one for me. This particular video is a complete sum-up of all that in one nice package. And you gave me a warm fuzzy just now because I ended up buying a DK4710 SE HST with a cab and the third function. And I'd do it again in a heartbeat. My brother uses an open station Mahindra for snow-blowing in Montana and I can say from experience that on an open station tractor that is one cold and messy operation. We're going to hook his blower to my Kioti this year and use it to blow snow! This video was awesome. Wish you'd had it done back then - it would have saved a lot of time spent on KZbin University for me! 😄

Hi Sandy, great video 👍

You gave those implements a work out!

awesome clean-up job. Always nice to have plenty of space in and around the sawmill shed. This allow easy maneuvring and make life much more pleasant. Looking forward to the build. Yep, although its been 30+ humidex for the past 10 days, winter is just around the corner but still have many very plaisant days ahead

Wow what a great set up

MM77 Approved 👍🏻 👍🏻………………………………… I know it was hard to take down a perfectly good building, but in the end I think it will be worth it and you will have a better sawmill shed. I’ll be watching no matter what!

that site is going to look awesome ! great start for the new sawmill shed

Question for you Sandy, with all the attachments you have for the tractor, what haven’t you installed a quick hitch?

Looking great my friend!

I don't understand why so many on KZbin talk about the red pine having been planted and does not self-propagate. What is the deal with this?

Howdy Sandy- you sure made your area look nice. I could watch videos like this for hours. Could almost smell that fresh churned soil. Hope you are able to get your shed up before bad weather sets in. Back up in the nineties Fahrenheit here this week. Take care and God bless

Just a couple ideas. You could reuse the old lumber and build a quick easy-peasy shed for all your implements. Nothing fancy, just something to keep the weather off them, and make remove/attaching them easier. My vote is that sawdust management be a key factor in the new sawmill shed design. The old shed deck was constantly covered in sawdust, and I'm trying to think of a way to attach some sort of flex pipe to the mill to direct the sawdust outside. Once outside you can use the tractor/rake to move the sawdust wherever you want.

Best to you and your efforts.

You had the Kioti grunting a few times for sure. Especially with that first lift of lumber. Good job. Good vid. Thanks.

Looking good, Sandy. Great work.

so sad to see all your hard work go

As a warehouse man I must say that was some fine fork work.

All that hard work and no Sludge.Are you on a diet?

I have had my sawmill since April and I am just now building my sawmill shed. Because I didn't want to build it to small and just figured out where I wanted it. Decided to go a 16' x 40' Then I will build a drying shed

Good afternoon Sandy as I reed a few comment I we agree on cutting a few extra trees around the area would easy right now to make sure you got room to go all around the compound with the tractor and snow blower look big right now but once you put a building in there it will shrink and yes a little enclose camp would defenatly be nice to take a break drink some slug sit in a recliner take a nap lol and then back to work a little wood stove in there be perfect something to think about for sure that rake did a good job cleaning the place well have a great day

That was a good work session with great results. It is always satisfying to have the tools you need when you need them. I'm in the same race as you. Halfway through setting piers for a drive shed to house tractor attachments etc. I have most of the posts, beams and lumber milled knowing that snow will be here soon enough. Still lots of other jobs around here that need to be settled too. Never ends but I love it

Be Blessed

Have you thought of making the buildings on skids? Similar to a shed construction. This way you can move the buildings around when needed.

Great to see all the attachments getting a workout

So I am at the point of needing a sawmill shed. I can't wait to see what you have planned.

Just remember that however big the space looks or how big the building looks on paper, it will be filled up the very second it is finished!! Buildings that seem huge on paper are soon overfilled with just the current equipment, not to mention anything new that is larger or just added to your equipment arsenal!! The best plans always allow for expansion, and they are built with the future in mind, so please make sure you plan ahead for lengthening or widening your building!!

I dont think its a problem, as it seems quite flat in the area. But doing ground water control, in the form of a small open V trench. to control any water from a uphill area running water in to the mill area. Not having buildings right now would be a good time. 0.01c

A clean slate for the artist to begin work. If you could do it all over again, you are ;) would you have used more screws instead of the ring shanked nails?

Awesome project and as well , awesome progress ! Great job !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤️

Looking good,

I was surprised to see you taking down that bit with the tractor, as it seemed a bit of a waste, then I thought "He owns a forest, it'll be fine!"

Good afternoon, Sandy! You definitely have a large, fresh palette to build the new and improved sawmill/lumber storage building. That landscape rake does a great job of cleaning up the debris. The long-range forecast is predicting a drier fall, so this will hopefully aid you in your construction. Greetings from Peterborough.

Just before you started talking about possibly not having enough space I was thinking it would probably be a good idea to take out more of the trees. At the very least give yourself enough room to drive your tractor around all your structures. The trees close to where you are going to build will only get bigger and be a lot harder to get out later. Looks like you have a good start.

Sandy, it appears to me that now would be the perfect opportunity to remove more of the trees around your sawmill area to provide additional working space. You'll never have a better chance than now. Looking forward to the new build.

Clean slate1

Ha! Got the first comment. I'll edit it later. It's later, and you've just finished moving the shed and cleaned up the area. YES... it certainly looks bigger and open, and lot's of sky & sunlight. In planning the building layout, plan enough cleared area around them to get the tractor with snowblower all the way around. I sure wish I had those stacks of hardwood slabs! OK, it's look good, Sandy. If you have a small enclosed room, 10x10, for example, you'll have space for a sludge-maker, a folding chair, and a heater for winter. (I know where you can get firewood for your heater).... Thing better than a hot sludge when you take a break, and sweating from the warmth as the snow falls outside.......

Stay to the right side of your trail and it will pull the dirt from the right side to the left. Then turn around and grade it the opposite direction and your low spots will fill in quicker.

All good points when thinking about tractor purchase. One thing that I considered was the tax. I was looking at a 40hp but here in NB if your tractor is 60hp or greater you are taxed less. So I took that advantage and upgraded my decision for the TYM654.

Is anyone going to mention how the posts supporting the entire cabin are all bowed and leaning severely? Is this thing falling down slowly? Could be camera lens skewing the view but I can’t be sure

Best money spent..this thing is so well thought out .

Well done ! work smarter not harder ! problem in my area is the price of the totes have increased to crazy prices.............gotta really watch and grab em when they are a deal.... Cheers and keep up the great content !

Your product is definitely not just beeswax, which is solid . It has to be a blend with other oils/grease.
