    A couple weeks ago I agreed to take down some problem trees for Grizzly's Paw's neighbours place after seeing the homeowner struggle dropping a branch. Some storm damage here, and an over crowded yard making things a little challenging. On break now in Dad's garage warming up by the Lopi before going after the bigger tree.

    These are actually two separate trees, one is on the ground now.

    Storm damage. Pieced this one down from the tailgate of Henry, to avoid crushing other smaller trees. image.jpg

    Go get 'em Adam. Is that a heat reclaimer on the stove moving air around?

    Good job
    No damage to the compost bins :)

    Can never have enough firewood & never have enough compost :)

    Is he one close enough to the wires to get an assist from the power company's tree service ?

    They were close to the lines, but small tree-- henry correct its course with little problem. Yes, Dad is using the reclaimer as a blower.

    Got this load and another small one tha the old lady unloaded partway through. Cut down another neighbor's evergreen shrubs so he could get his truck through his drive easier while I was at it.

    Now you'll have to get off your ash, or rather, get your ash out of the pickup. I hate those kinds of jobs. Was not bad in my youth but no more. I've learned to back off a bit.

    Wasn't too bad, they are all smaller than what I typically cut. A little stiff and sore now.

    Nice job. I've been getting the itch to take down some trees. Need to find some victims out in the woods :D

    Neighbors! Took down the trees for one and the bushes for another. And Dad's neighbors, actually.

    Nice job. Those power lines looked a little close, may have just been the angle of the picture.

    They were close enough it would have been an issue if the trees were much bigger.
