DevOps, CI/CD, Kubernetes, Docker, Jenkins, Woodcraft, and my CV/Resume
Storm Isha left an obstacle that needed cleared up in a hurry, here are some pics!
In the early hours of the morning, blocking our way out past our neighbours farm at the end of our track:
This was the start of my “lunch break”:
Things went quickly, this was about half way through:
All packed up (nearly – I went back for those big bits later!) and off back to work with about 10 mins to spare….
Some pics of a fallen beech tree being chopped up for firewood and milling.
One half of this tree had fallen on a neighbours track, and I spent a sunny afternoon self-isolating with it and a couple of chainsaws.
The “before” pics… it looks like a branch in these shots, but it was quite a lot of wood.
After some limbing and bucking and a mild case of sunburn:
Gear – the Husqvarna 365 with its 20″ bar on and a recent chain from chainsawbars did almost all of the work no problem. My old Mountfield was having an off-day.
Root cause analysis – the lower 4 foot was rotten through.
The other half of the tree is still standing and looks to be ok though.
The good bits – I left these nice and straight looking 6 and 4 foot sections in place to bring home with the tractor later.
The ends have been sealed and I plan to mill them in to 2″ planks and maybe some thicker slabs
The (panoramic) aftermath
And a truck full (ok, not quite, it was a long afternoon) of firewood that was delivered to a neighbour
