Last fall, the board approved our budget request to construct a roof over the mill. To do this, we needed to add more fill to the north side of the mill and also extend the area where the engines sit. This way they will sit more level while operating on the mill.
This past Saturday, we assembled a crew to get the fill hauled and placed. We want to thank Rick H, Josh (Danger Boy), Louie & Klinger for making this happen.
Josh is using the sheep's foot packing and Rick is coming with another load of fill.
Here Josh is packing with Klinger's M International.
Here Josh is packing with Lynette Briden's Case. If it would have taken us any longer, he would have tried out every tractor on the grounds!
Prior to hauling the fill, I backdrug all the rock I had placed last year and tried to save as much of it as I could. This way we could re-use it after we got done adding fill to all the areas.
Here Clayton is placing the rock back on the ramp area where the engines drive up to the sawmill.
I do not have pictures of Louie helping haul fill. Also, Klinger was using his motorgrader out at the borrow area. I think Josh got some pictures of this. If they turned out Josh, please post.
At one point, Rick and Louie were both hauling at the same time. I had to slow those guys down, because the fill was coming too fast and Josh and I couldn't get it spread and packed fast enough.
