 Today is cutting day. I've got my my chainsaw right here stuffed in my little boat I don't actually have a chainsaw cover. It's a really nice chainsaw. I don't really have a real cover for it. Whatever Snacks up there and stuff some waters peanut butter sandwiches on coconut bread, so Has extra calories and stuff And right now I'm supposed to meet a guy who's gonna come Cut with me. I'm hiring him for the day. Maybe tomorrow too if he does. All right, and maybe next week But He's supposed to meet me like two minutes ago Out in the water here so we can go right over there He's late and no I'm not hiring him to use my chainsaw. He comes with his own chainsaw But he also comes with knowledge of the trees around here so he can identify trees which I Hear a boat I hear a boat Yeah, they're going over To where we're cutting and he said yes, no telemetro No, no tape measure, so I'm gonna go grab a tape measure from my house Okay, this tree here is my Orojo. Well the Rojo is a part of the center and Blanco is here. Okay, the total tree is my Orojo I'm blasting right there, so it's basically I Can recognize it from the bark kind of Like it reminds me of a birch tree a lot. It's kind of papery Very smooth under these little flakes. Yeah, it's kind of like smooth bark with like scabs all over it This is something really good, but oh mass mass grande in futuro. See so this is small This will I want to keep this tree for sure because it's gonna be a lot bigger It's Kira Kira and I will like you similar Oh Okay, this this tree here is sedio, which is similar to Cedro similar Cedro. See He over here. This is basura Use it for posts. He's called it post days This tree's basura garbage Okay, this tree here is migalario, which is basically basura basically garbage You can use it for some stuff, but it's not Yeah, use it You can use it for concrete forms basically so okay, I correctly identified this one then this is my Orojo as well This is a much bigger one. Yeah, this this one's pretty big Yeah, it's still got the you know the papery Bark, so it's pretty easy to identify once you learn the names of this. All right. This is Carano Similar or similar to migalario It is basically garbage Which is unfortunate because I have a bunch of those around here All right, these these two guys are both garbage wood All right, I key I mean here. This is another sedio Which is similar to Cedar ish As far as I understand it's pretty good wood This tree is also basura there's a lot of trees that are basura garbage All right, this guy right here is Niesperl I Should be able to identify this because it's like one of the best woods around here You know, it's kind of reminds me of like flattened out oak bark a little all right Hopefully I can remember this Okay, I key is Kanye fistola, correct? Kanye fistola Yeah, it's a duro madera. Yes, it's very good. It's similar to Niesperl. So it's good with ants So the bugs don't eat it And this will get much bigger Quanto anio grande Diez anio mas mucho mas grande So in 10 years would be a lot bigger Kanye fistola. Okay Better remember that This looks like the tree I was just looking at that he said was garbage. All right Smells minty here Okay, we don't know exactly what this is called, but it's it's good wood it does have some Signs of bug eatage up there But this is supposed to be good wood of some time strong and hard So I have a couple big mahogany trees that have been down and I think well, I had to cut it up to here to get above all the rotten parts But here it's not rotten from here up is pretty long and this is by far the smaller one The other one is like huge Anyway, here's my first cut of the day Not bad You know, I'm just getting warmed up. Yeah, it's pretty good actually The guy I hired over there his first cut of the day was horrible. It was like, wow I Gave him some crap about it. He's made some excuse about how it's his chainsaws fault. I Hope there's improvement. Hopefully that was just like a warm-up cut and he's doing better anyway, I'm gonna I'm gonna start cutting floorboards out of this and Yeah, he has it like a chalk line that he's doing the lines with I just kind of eyeball it No, my balling's pretty good. So I'm just going with that Floorboards can be a little bit warped anyway though because they get nailed down or screwed down whatever anyway Let me keep going Actually, I don't When I'm when I'm cutting wood that's only like, you know an inch thick or something like that Incher an inch or two thick I don't worry about I don't worry too much about a little bit of curve in it because the woods probably gonna warp anyway I'm gonna have to like kind of force it to be straight But looks like I'm getting it pretty straight. All right. I'm gonna keep cutting. Oh Yeah, there was the first cut. That was just a warm-up though. These ones are looking excellent Yeah, really good. Oh, man, that's a relief that his cuts are straight now Hopefully he keeps going straight, but I know this guy. I've you know I've gotten rocks and sand from them stuff before and I kind of have to keep on them to get him to do a good job Like you kind of starts Start slacking till I say something give him some crap that he's like back on it And then he just slowly starts drifting off again So I think as long as I you know, keep checking his wood every hour or so He'll do a good job Which is great because with two of us cutting we can get this done Pretty fast. Hopefully. Yeah, I want to I Basically want to cut all the words for my second floor. So I'm gonna shut up and start cutting. Okay. Shut up, Jamie I'm starting to get somewhere. It's only noon right now. So a bunch more of this piece than lots more tree up there But the other guy has a problem with his chainsaw bar So we're quit quitting for today. We did start early. We were only gonna go till till two in the afternoon All right We'll be back tomorrow though. Pet some more
