A Unique Undertaking

Posted on Sep 15, 2010

What started out as a root ball down at the neighbor’s place turned into quite a story. It’s so amazing to see a tree milled into a beautiful work of art.

This was only HALF of the root ball that I hauled home on a borrowed trailer. Hauling the root home was probably the most memorable occurrence I’ve ever encountered. As I was heading home on my driveway, the weight from the trailer started pushing me forward (toward a VERY steep embankment, I might add). My truck was shoved over the edge with only my two right-side tires still touching the ground.

As a result, a young fir tree sliced open the side panel to the bed of my truck. The neighbors who lived down the road volunteered 45 minutes to help me upright my vehicle and I eventually got back on the road. Needless to say, after strategically parking it when I got home so my wife couldn’t see the damages, I still ended up sleeping on the couch.

Appropriately deemed the “Dragon’s Head” table. We’ve also found different images in it, including a gorilla head.

What other image(s) can YOU find?

Attention Milling Customers!

To accommodate fluctuating fuel prices we are increasing our travel fee from $1.50/mile to $2.00/mile. This fee is applied when we travel over 20 miles from our residence. If you have any further questions, please refer to our milling contract on the “Any Questions?” page.

We have been having issues with our phone line and internet so if we get disconnected during a call, our phone line continues to ring (or not ring), or take a bit to respond to your e-mail, we want you to know that we have been trying different avenues to get things fixed. From what we’ve been told, the equipment used for our internet and phone lines is over 50 years old and parts are hard to come by so this could be a fairly ongoing issue.
