Brokenarrows new place
I am following in AV8R's foot steps. I am holding my breath right now. A piece of land just came on the market this week in a remote area. This is it folks! What I have been looking for to build my next house on! It is 35 min.
from my cabin and 160 acres (and tractor etc). Its only 40 min. to a very nice sized country town(city) that has great employment. It is 9 minute"s off a 4 lane hiqhway that leads to that town Great highway driving since this is way out in no whereville. Its on a dead end road. NO other houses except a farm (1/2 mile away). This dead end was put in because that farmer used to have solo's there at the end of the dead end road. He had run ELECTRIC down the 1/2 mile road. All other land around what I want to buy is farm land owned. This is 25 acres of woods on a dead end road with the closest neighbor 1/2 mile away!!!!!
I am in love! I am crossing my fingers that NO one bid on it today, if not, I will own it! She will get what she is asking for it tomarrow. I have been pulling my hair out the last two days since I found this land because I could not get away to get up there and put in a offer. (I google earthed it, it looks perfect)
Wish me luck!

Thanks all
Short Magnum
I already built a house on the 160 acres "Up North" (hee hee). What is happening is that I can't stand the road noise!!! Although I am about 450 foot off the road I need to be about 14000' away from the highway. for me to be happy.
I will post this question in the right forum also but thought I would put it here also.
Looks Like I will be getting it, (fingers crossed) I offered the full price and there are no other offers as of Sat. Soooo,,, My new property has many ridges on it. Ridge meaning about a 20' or so rise in ground level as so you have to 'dig in" to get up when walking. One spot has a drop off on ALL four sides and is like a flat area at the top.
We are having a walk out basement. Here is my question: I need to mark all the trees I want to save in about an acre area out behind the house. This is ALL grown up brush and saplings mixed in with full mature pine and maple. I want to eliminate ALL brush and saplings as to make my yard like the preverbial "PARK" like setting. I will leave a few nice large trees but I want ALL OTHER vegitation tilled under, cut off and shredded. I will eliminate all the trees that are large that I want to save for fire wood but I need to hire someone that can come in wiht a piece of equipment that can shred and pulverize and till up all the rest of an acre area. BIG job I know but it needs to be done. What do you suggest?

Well we got the land, offer was accepted and she sign the papers.
The tree thinning? I should say clear cut and remove ALL timber weather it be by truck or by chipper. After wards I want a machine to come in and grind everything on the ground (I have seen some of these machines that have around a 8 foot carbide toothed what ever you call it tearing up the ground and stumps to about an 8 inch depth
I want around an acre of nothing but grass and a few larger trees. If tose trees fall over,,, so be it  > The plan is to open it up enought to lower the amount of bugs while out back.
Will post pics asap

Well not exactly a 'bug net" but there is a 5 million percent difference in the amount of pesky flying critters
on a hot summer day in an open grassy yard than if your walking under the canopy of a forrest.

Just got back to the conversation. Interesting! Murf, my daughters godfather is a logger and owns a smaller proceser
(SP BAD ) it can handle trees up to 16" dia so it will work for what I need to clear since I will want to keep most of any trees larger than that. The land dont have too many large trees but I feel just enough. No marketable lumber (so to speak since fuel is so high I dont have enough on the land to make it worth while)
Murf, I very much appreciate your offer. My buddy sometimes is buisy with larger jobs and may not have time for my clear cut. I will pm you with my e-mail. If you come up with someone that is willing to clear off the acre and remove all the trees/saplings EVERYTHING let me know.
Cutting is not the problem its removing everything afterwards that is the job.
I understand about the roots of larger trees and what happens after you "stump" a tree, I found that out many years ago (its a good place to grow mushrooms but not grass). I plan to leave all the larger trees (which is not many like I said) I was wondering about those machines I see that have a huge roller type do hickey with spikes on her, Hud-son forrest equipment has a pulveriser on the web that I was wondering about.
Murf, if you can find or know someone in the Eau Claire Wisconsin area that will cut and remove an acre of my land I would be very interested, its hard to find folks you can trust to do a job unless you know them or know someone who knows them.
Thanks
