Introducing our newest baby...the Bobcat CT230 tractor with Front-End Loader and tiller. Purchased today for a tidy little fortune. This photo is just a stock photo. Will replace with a real photo when available. We should have it here by mid-week.

Echo's summer training sled.
A big maple tree log with some wheels and a pulling ring attached to it. Summer sled dog training at its finest.

Pool Table
The pool table is getting its new felt cloth. Almost all done, just two more rails to recover and then final assembly. The new 'Camel' colour is much more coordinated with our room than the old standard green cloth.
Tree Stump GONE!
DONE! Not feasible without our little tractor that we had on demo this weekend. I pulled the stump out of the ground, brought in 3 buckets of dirt from the back field and levelled the soil. Total time with the tractor...about 1.5 hours. This is after about 4 days of trying to dig the stump out by hand and attempting to pull it with my truck.
Tractor Demo Days
This is a Case Farmall 31 tractor. We had it this weekend to try out. We are looking at purchasing a tractor identical to this but used. This is on demo from the dealer. Proved very useful in removing the tree stump. Four days of digging, chopping and sawing got us no where but the tractor pulled the stump up and out in an hour. I did many other jobs with ease and saved myself alot of labour and time. Life here without a tractor like this is getting to be very difficult. Especially now with our tree farm.

Front Stair Railing
This was a project for my day off work. About $60 of steel and a borrowed welder and Voila...a wrought iron stair railing. Not bad for out of my head while welding on the fly!
Tree Farm - The Beginning
The start of our tree farm. Five rows of 108 trees. 540 trees in total. Total planting time about 5 hours.
