Almost chipper ready

This pic doesn't really show the extent of the clearing I've done, but here's the brush pile viewed from the deck. It's about chest high on me and spills down the slope a bit. All I have left from a clearing standpoint is to clean up two deadfalls and make a final pass with branch pruners to remove the last few saplings that were hidden by all of the timber and underbrush. Then the chipping starts, followed by trail construction. I hope to have enough logs that I can use in place of landscape timbers to create the checks against the chips washing away. Still much work to do, but I'm pretty much back on schedule for this project.
