Since ole' Vader has moved and he we have no intention of another dog in the family as long as we're here in town, and seeing how there is no need for it to be around the wife suggested that I demolish Vader's old house. It seemed like a perfect opportunity for the 149 to spring into action and drag this monster out to where I could get to it good. I built that house like a dang fortress about 8 yrs ago, it was all 2x4 framed, double walled w/ insulation between each wall and 2 men couldn't budge it when it had it's shingle roof still attached, but the 149 didn't even strain to drag it out from around the corner of the shop. :Thumbsup Before I thought about taking pics I had already took off the roof and pulled it over on it's side and removed some of the outer walls.![]() Aren't the 1x8's,9's a thing of beauty? Even if it has a M-12 tucked away under it's hood. ![]() Well here in the bottom pic is the end result. I did manage to salvage some good 2x4's and most all of the interior wall plywood. Those pieces will be used in deerstand construction this summer. I have several different deerstands and I name each one usually with a geographical landmark, for example I have one stand next to a farm pond so it's called "Pond" I do this to help me keep up with them but also to let my wife where I'm at in case I don't come home,just in case she did want to look for me :blink: . This year will be a little different for one stand because it will be called Vader in honor of my old friend...geez, I miss that dumb dog! :(

Looks like a good workout for the 149. No matter how long it is you will never forget your good ole friend Vader, which is a good thing in a way. I like you idea of nameing your deerstands so the wife knows where to go look for you if you don't happen to come back home at night. Might have to take you idea and use it as I have 2 different tree stands for deer hunting. |

Lonny, It didn't work the 149 very hard at all, but it sure would have been unhandy without some Cub muscle to help me out. When I'm hunting I always tell her the site I'm hunting that day and one alternative site in case the wind direction or some other factor keeps me out of my first choice. I've also taken her with me pre-season when I'm doing some stand maintainence or putting up a new location so she has an idea of where the stands are. I've never needed help yet (knock on wood) but no sense in taking chances either. I've got a couple of new stand sites picked out that the only way in is by foot or Cub Cadet, so one lucky Cub will be toting building materials to the woods this spring. :Thumbsup |

What a awesome spring day! The ground dried enough today that I mowed the lawn, then I decided to put the cultivators on the 149 and dig around the spot where the dog house was located and in the process uproot some old rotten tree roots. This spot is where I think we're gonna put out some tomatoes. I also ran the cultivator thru the garden this afternoon to break up the clumps and loosen the soil. It was almost dry enough to plant, to bad I didn't have anything ready to go into the ground. Sorry, no pics of garden.![]()
