Well the driveway and lot are just about all cleared and stumped. The brush and stumps have been chipped and ground. A couple more loads of logs have to be trucked out and then it will be complete. This weekend the builder will start stripping the top soil to prep the driveway and then soon will be digging for foundation!
Here the log skidder arrives.
At the same time the skidder arrived, the huge excavator also arrived and was unloaded. This excavator will be used to pull stumps and also to feed the chipper.
Clearing away!
Skidder pulling brush towards a large pile for chipping later on.

Logs and stumps...
Chipping brush. The chips come out of the chipper and go up a conveyor belt, dumped directly into a box trailer.
After the truck is loaded, the chips and grindings are removed from the site.
This excavator has a special attachment that cuts up the stumps prior to placing them into the chipper. This makes for less wear and tear on the chipper that I am told has a price tag of around $600k! I say being easy on it is a good thing.
Pulling more stumps for grinding.
August 31. I brought Grandma Herzig up to the site in the Rhino so she could check out the progress. She was pretty excited to see it all!
