 I've been watching the development over the last couple of days and the transformation is remarkable.

There seems to be an extra o in logging. www.stumpbranchloogging.com

Nice work Mindy, how did you make the changes?
Were you able to work with what you had or did you have to acquire a different program in order to make the changes?

I had to use another program, it was a major headache to transfer everything.  I took lots of pictures and video yesterday.  I went out with the crew for the day.  I have lots of video footage, going to work on that today.  Pictures are slow to upload, so keep checking back will be updating all day.  Thank you all for your support and input.

Nice evolving site, I would like to suggest an equipment section in your photo pages.
Love to see logging trucks, skidders, forwarders, chainsaws, whatever.

Thanks
Jon

Mindy, make sure the crew has their safety gear on for the pictures.
They should always have it on when performing any work operation but it's important that it is captured in any pictures posted.

Ya, no kidding. Those fellers are going to be high profile so thats important. If a guy posts one picture here without gear for example, its the first thing he generally hears. 

Probably why you wont see to many action shots of me. :D

I wish we had that action shot of you hanging upside down on that ladder you made.  :D

Hey, if you guys see something thats not right please let me know right away.  I came you guys because you know the industry.  I DO NOT want the public getting the wrong idea, or give a bad impression of logging.

Thanks for all your help,
Mindy

Mindy, that is much better. You should go back and proof read every word for missing letters and miss spellings.

Since you will be getting some not so friendly anti-logging visitors, it would be good to put some emphasis in the front page on the environment like best management practices, benefits of logging, improvements for the forest, and of course income for the landowners. I see you mention those things later, but it would be good to move that up front.

Nice work, but I did not see a place for your picture.  ;D

Jeff,
Wouldn't have taken you for a Jackyl fan, but thanks for the link! I had a custom woodworking business when that song came out. The shop would stop as the shop radio went to the max. Could you get them for the piggy roast this year? I'd definitely make the drive!!!

Mindy, I can't wait for the Axe Men to start this spring. Thanks for adding the banner to your site. Really nice work on your site.

Umm I'm guessing if your memories are anything like my memories of the 70's you don't remember much.  :D

Your site is looking great Mindy, I'm one who turns off the flash sites so this version is much nicer. :)

Mindy,

This is a preference of mine only but I find it easier to read the contents of the website when the background is lighter and the text is darker like this site. Otherwise it is looking good.

Burlkraft's 70's are much more interesting then mine. You'll have to get that from him though. :)
