Part 6/9:
Challenges with Equipment and Property Maintenance
One challenge faced is the size of the large oak tree, which cannot be cut with a typical chainsaw due to its thickness. The homesteader considers burning the tree in place over several weeks or acquiring specialized equipment. Nearby, a cedar tree also awaits removal to make room for a new structure, exemplifying the ongoing land management efforts.
There is mention of the property line running near a row of oak trees, serving as a natural boundary. The homesteader adds that some sections of the land are not suitable for building or farming, but they are kept in place to preserve privacy and prevent unauthorized access in the form of a creek and wetlands.
