[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5255225, member: 17"] I did just that, and honestly was pleased with what I saw. They had cut heavy, but that's exactly what I wanted in the designated areas. The problem was timing. I looked at their work from a summer cut. By the time they got to me it was winter, which was fine, as I wanted the extra regrowth the first growing season after a winter cut provides. Both myself and the logger thought my chert ridgetops and roads would hold up fine during a winter cut. About 2 months and 20 inches of rain later, we found we were both wrong. Our road network was demolished. And their dozer operator was not a master at fixing winter-damaged roads. We are still paying the price, and probably will be for years, for all of that road damage. I would get a dozer operator in their who understands road-building, but they are all busy preping home sites due to the housing boom. Can't get a dozer operator for the life of me. [/QUOTE]
