Stoney Ridge tell everybody Merry Christmas chilly out first of all guys we got to warm the tractor up we're gonna warm it up take it over here we'll start getting busy [Applause] [Music] so all over the farm we had a bunch of these cedar trees and they're great great for fence posts and stuff like that I've got a huge pile of cedar trees already there at the house and we're gonna be building some fences soon so we saved all the cedar posts we possibly could out of this and we just piled them up here in big piles and we'll get those piles burnt I would love to mulch them but it's just not feasible just for the price and everything it's just not financially feasible for me to have mulched all these it would have taken him about six hours to do this versus about two hours to just harvest the trees cut them down grind the stumps down to the ground and now we've got some brush to burn so we'll burn all this brush we'll go through the North Carolina Forestry Service and get ourselves a burn permit call our local fire department let them know we're burning it and we'll invite all the neighbors and we'll have a good time so guys thanks a lot for joining me here on the stunning Ridge fire I hope you have a Merry Christmas just want to show you what we're doing out here getting busy doing a little bit of work on Christmas so thanks a lot come on back and see me don't forget to click that like button click that subscribe button if this is your first time here and if it's not your first time here and you're not subscribed well you better get subscribed click that little bell down there and I'll notify you when I post a new video I have some more farm fun guys come on back and see me whoa Merry Christmas sweet that's way supposed to be stone Tyrion whoo oh yeah want to let you guys know I got a lot of comments about dipping or chewing tobacco got a lot of people telling me not to do that well it's not dip dude it's a lens cap in the pocket it's not deep all right [Applause]
