I have more to cut, I like to see were the sun is be for cuting, more oaks are coming down,
I have to level some more ground

That is some nice looking existing soil, are you sure you don't want to open a gravel pit instead? ;)

Good luck with the new kiln. If I did that on my land the pile of rocks would be bigger than the pile of wood.

I though of that but theres only so many hrs in the day, and with all the paper work to open a pit It would cost 50,ooo.00 just to start one, before I dig  :D :D :D :D,
and it would only be a 25 A pit, for the money I have to have 100+ A,  then you have to reclam the land and thats 30,000.00+
It gos on and on , not like the old days :D :D

If I did that on my land there would not be the first single rock.

     Same here in north Florida.  I think I'd have to drive a hundred miles from here to find a rock.  It's all sugar sand.

What kind of kiln are you getting?
Two LT70s, Nyle L200 kiln, 4 head Pinheiro planer, 30" double surface Cantek planer, Lucas dedicated slabber, Slabmizer, and enough rolling stock and chainsaws to keep it all running.

Very little sand, just hard clay.  Our dug stock ponds, etc. hold water very well because of the clay.

I say all rocks on my land. Just up the road from me,I buy gravel from him.My grandparents use to own that. Lots and lots of gravel pits just within a few miles of my place. I redid my 500 foot driveway,I don't think there was a rock bigger than 3 inches in all the loads he brought me.
