Help with Waukewan Street

[LIforrelaxin]

I love how everyone refers to clear cutting as bombs going off, as that is basically what happens. There is a lot of money in harvesting an area, especially if it is covered with mill-able hardwood...

Unfortunately harvesting wood is necessary.... it allow the smaller trees to grow and prevents dead wood. However it doesn't have to be done through clear cutting. If you bring someone in to clear a lot that knows what they are doing, They thin the lot, and don't clear cut.... Take only what is profitable to take and leave the stuff that should be left....

It is actually refered to as "Nuking" by the very folks that cut the trees. My friend runs his own logging company in the area and he has used that term many times in decribing a lot that someone has paid him to clear.

Not all timber rights are purchased by the loggers, most in this area (not talking great north woods) are simply cut and a set price paid to the owner and the logger gets what is left at the mill. Most logging truck companies are independent of the cutters as well, which adds more overhead to the mix. Really in talking with him, it is not a real money making business, for the amount of work put in anyway. The land owners make out the best in the whole deal, even after the taxes are paid.

In deed the land owners are definately the ones that make out the best... they are paid to allow someone the right to Harvest there land.

Having said that, the reason most lots are basically clear cut is that the logger, is try to harvest the mill able material which he will make most of his money back on, and then takes the rest for firewood, which is where they make their profit.

As I mention what is really disirable is to work with a logging company, to selectively harvest a lot.... take out what is profitable to take out for milling, and off course take out misc. Trees as well.... but yet leave enough behind so that things still look wooded, and healthy....

unfortunately it is easier to clear cut.......

You found yourself a good spot. My wife and I live just up the street at Waukewan Village. We love the location. Best of all it’s just a minute to Karen and Barry’s and Famous Pizza. Don’t forget to get yourself a dump "sticka" for only 20 bucks.
Welcome, we'll toot on our way to town.

No hard feeling, just thought it was odd that all your comments were removed, the thread really makes no sense without them. Hopefully you can get your improvements done to get the home to be exactly what you want (garage), I am waiting on one of those as well. Enjoy the area.

Ok. Does that mean you bought the house? I noticed the for sale sign was down. Given all things considered from postings here, I think it is a smart move to buy it.

Looks like this house is back on the market, and the OP is MIA.

Rt 104 doesn't bother us at all. It does get a little loud during bike week,but it's a good loud.. My wife and I call the rt 104 noise a poor man's ocean noise from our deck.
