New Wood Crib and More Logging

We are continuing to clear out the forest area where the new leach field will go.  Some time ago we decided to save the large straight trunks of the trees for future timber milling.  Meanwhile we need a space to store them.  A large part of the motivation for making the flat area that we completed on 25 June was to have room enough for at least two 10 foot by 12 foot wood cribs to store the logs.  We built the first one today and proceeded immediately to load it up with logs starting with the ones we had loaded into the trailer on 26 July.  We will have a lot more logs to store before we are done.

This is the first of the new wood cribs.
It is simple but effective at keeping the logs in a neat stack off the wet ground.

The first of the logs to go on the new crib are the ones that we dumped out of the trailer we loaded a few days ago.

The first log is maneuvered into place with the excavator acting as a crane. 

The last log for the first layer.  We have room for plenty more.

That's all for today.
