Taking Down Trees for the Goat Barn

TLDRIn this video, we take down trees around the soon-to-be goat barn to make space for construction. We process the trees into lumber and gather branches for chipping. Despite the cold weather, we make good progress on the project.

Q&A

Why did you take down the trees?

We needed to create space for the goat barn and wanted to utilize the lumber from the trees for construction.

What will you do with the branches?

We will chip the branches to create wood chips, which can be used for various purposes such as mulch or animal bedding.

How did you process the trees into lumber?

We cut the trees into smaller logs and then used a portable sawmill to saw the logs into usable lumber.

How do you stay warm in the cold weather?

We dress in multiple layers, including double socks, pants, sweaters, and a jacket. We also take regular breaks to warm up.

What equipment do you use for the project?

We use a chainsaw to fell the trees and a tractor to assist with moving equipment and materials.
