How Much Wood Could A Would Chuck Chuck?

The logger in Justin just will not let him rest. He has been hard at work this Semester on his Senior Project. Here is the finished product. We will walk you through how it works, step by step.

Step 1-
Load the Log




Step 2-
Set and clamp the log securely in place (we want straight boards!)


Step 3-
SAW!!!


Step 4-
Rotate Log 1/4 Turn


Step 5-
Saw and Repeat


Step 6-
Make Boards




Always wear proper eye and hearing protection and do not try without supervision of a logger/sawyer. That wood is going to build a table.

Life As We Know It.... For right now

For the past nine weeks Justin and I have embarked on the final chapter of our lives when both of us will be in college.(that is what we are planning anyways) It has probably been the hardest semester we have had to face yet. I am currently student teaching at Sky View High School, Go Bobcats! and Justin has been continuing school and working at Agri- Service to keep the roof over our heads.

These last few months have consisted of

5:30 a.m.- Ruth gets up
6:13 a.m.- Justin gets up and makes breakfast& cleans off car for Ruth (Yes, he is a keeper, and I love him very much!)
6:35 a.m. Ruth leaves for School
7:30 a.m.- Justin goes to accounting class
8:00-5:00 p.m.- I'm not really sure all that he does, and I hang out at the high school working on lesson plans, grading papers, etc.
6:30 p.m.- Dinner (anything quick and easy)
7-9 p.m.- More lesson planning, while Justin does homework or wathces a movie
10 p.m.- Bed time

I used to think it was bad when I had a 7:30 a.m. class I had to be to. Now I realize, that was like cake, I could wear my sweats to class and pull my hair into a pony tail. The real world looks pretty rough, I never thought I would say this, but I just might miss college.

It has been a great semester of laughs, ups, and downs, strength and endurance building, a trip to Las Vegas (that is a great story for a different post) and helped us grow closer together.We are looking forward to graduation in May for me and Justin's in December.
