Congrats on the new WM, and Welcome to the Forestry Forum.

Thanks for the welcomes. A few had asked some questions about me. I am a utility/pipeline contractor working in the southeast. With my profession I am prettty good on support equipment. I am looking at a used Vermeer wood chipper. Now all I really need is a dedicated barn for the saw, a barn for the lumber, maybe a kiln, and commercial planer. My wife still looks at me like I am crazy. She asked me why I was wasting this money on something I did not have time for. I told her it was cheaper than a "girlfriend". I did promise to sell the chopper I have not rode in a year and a half.

You could ride the chopper a bit and tell her you just can't help it, you've got to live on the wild side!

I keep a 420IT Cat backhoe on the property. It pretty much does what I need. I have them drop off a excavator when I take some trees down. I will have the sheds built this summer. Going to have to let someone else do it though.

Take the mill cut a little wood then build something for the wife. She will then be on your side. :D

Even better, let the Mrs saw some boards, THEN make her something out of them  ;)

Of course then you might not get to use the mill any more and end up being her off loader.  :D
