1987, 1988, and 1989, petitioners spent 127, 139, and 80 days,
respectively, on the timber farm.
On the days on which petitioners were at the timber farm,
petitioner worked constantly on the timber farm -- designing and
planning repairs and improvements, personally operating heavy
equipment such as graders, and working to improve and maintain
roads and buildings, to clear brush, to build new roads for fire
protection and for use in eventual harvesting of the timber.
When at the timber farm, Mrs. Kurzet worked on the records
and other chores relating to maintenance of the timber farm, and
petitioners generally worked from sunrise until sunset on various
projects relating to the timber farm.
When petitioner was not working on the timber farm,
petitioner would leave detailed written instructions for the
employees to follow in his absence, listing priority projects on
the timber farm on which the employees should work.
In 1985, petitioners purchased a modest mobile unit and
placed it on the timber farm for use as an office and on-site
sleeping accommodation for the days they were at the timber farm.
Two of the rooms in the mobile unit were used as a computer room
and work room in connection with the timber farm. One room was
used as a bedroom for petitioners. The kitchenette and dining
area were used frequently for paperwork, recordkeeping, meetings,
and an office for the timber farm.
