The start – small log cabin

It’s time to start working on the small log cabin if we are going to be able to have it done in time for snowmobiling out that way this winter.

What is a weed eater? Knocking down this grass

Time to start cleaning up this 10 acre off grid place

Now we have possession of our new 10 acre off grid home and it’s time for some more cleanup, the old vehicles are removed so now we can get out and start knocking the grass and weeds down.

My tool is my little weed eater, I have a ride on lawnmower, but it’s hard to see what’s hiding in the grass, so we will start with the weed eater.

I learned though this exercise that not all weed eaters are the same and will remember this for the next time I have a project like this.

Not that my weed eater is not good, it’s just not made for a big job like this one.
