You may want to talk to the DNR forestry they may have a program to assist you with cleaning your woods out
I signed up about 5 years ago they had one at that time they came in cleaned my woods and new woods and all of what was moms home roughly 65 acres They don’t do paths or anything like but they cut or sprayed all the unwanted trees brush the invasive type they don’t clean up either it’s all laying were it was cut but it could help you thin it out and you’d be left with trees that are worth something
They will make a mess but it’s I believe it improved my wildlife By creating sunlight to the floor of the woods

Skid loader has been down since December, no firewood and trail cutting for me this spring. Snow is to deep now for me to open it back up when loader is done. Guess Ill start running young dogs on pile work and obedience.

I'll have to look into that. We have a bunch of the honeysuckle bushes. We have been cutting all of the autumn olive that we find. We are keeping it under control so far When you cut it, paint the cut stumps with Tordon RTU. Pathfinder works good also you spray the trunk at the base in the fall up till about February and the brush or tree will suck into and down into the roots killing it Two downsides The tree or brush is still there dead you still have to cut it but it won’t come back The other it can kill a tree close to it if the roots are tangled I’ve only had that happen a few times in 20 years

My present house we had wallpapered every room but the living room and master bedroom. Never again. This was 1986 wallpaper and not the modern easy strip. Decided to paint. It took forever to get it off. In fact on the little bedroom I gave up. I painted over it with Kilz and then wall paint. Looks great.. There will never be any wall paper in my house again.

When I bought this place the girlfriend at the time and her friend put a wallpaper border around the living room and kitchen, and carried it down over the cabinets that are attached to the ceiling. I haven't painted since, and I'm not looking forward to having to paint. Removing that should be a royal PITA.

Don’t call me I won’t answer I promise not sure but it maybe easier to tear the drywall off and start over I poked a hole in the drywall when I laid down new carpeting after I bought the place. There is 3/8" drywall on the walls... Maybe the ceiling too as I can see the drywall on the ceiling in the living room look like waves in the ocean where it's sagging between the ceiling joists. We blew in a bunch of cellulose insulation.

I absolutely hate drywall and I suck at painting. I'll hire someone when it comes time to do any of that.

Quote I got for my basement drywall would’ve been well worth it, but I knew I could do it for way cheaper. Took a lot longer and not near as good as a pro, buts it’s done and saved about $1,000. Think next time any drywall work comes up someone else is doing it. I don’t mind painting at all though.

I don't mind hanging drywall, and I know how to do it. It's the taping and mudding that I hate. I did the basement at the Redwood house in 2008 and hired a father and son Amish team to do the finish work. I picked them up, drove them there, they did all the work with fast set and a damp sponge, and were done in 5 hours without having to sand ANYTHING. It was amazing to watch them work. What would have taken me 4-5 days they did in one day, freeing me up to do other projects. Well worth what they charged, and it wasn't much at all for the work that they did.
I'd hire them again in a heartbeat to do any finish work.
