    Hello all, I answered a CL add for 40 plus trees to take down. I met the ladies today and its nice hardwood. 90% of it is stuff i can buck into 4 footers and easily load into my truck. Couple of big ash and oaks but not too big to pick up cut into 16 -18 inch rounds. Im starting tomorrow and ill have some pics. Its in Milford Nh only 15 mins door to door. Its in a quarry and really cool looking place.

    Sounds nice.

    Is there a time frame to have the trees dropped?

    What happens to the tops/brush?

    2-3 weeks, its a quarry and they got a guy coming from Portsmouth nh to pluck some rocks with an excavator and these trees are in the way, ill dice up the tops and make a couple of piles. Maybe burn some for them. I work 5:30 to 1:30 and can be there everyday by 2:00. Its gonna be awesome :woodsign::stacker:

I shrink wrapped one too ( not too much so it gets air flow) cattle panels are $25, cheaper than those $100 dollar water tank cages. I know Tito has alot of fans here so i threw in a pic of him playing with his 4 foot 4x4. I give it to him when i want my lawn destroyed :hair:

    Small limbs/trunks create heat just like larger splits.

    Good job.

It was done and they did a great job. Top two pics are scenery and the bottom ones are the trees to be cut. Theres more down further too. Its a cherry goldmine which is great for my indoor BBQ. Lots of dry stuff on the ground also. Good mix of wood Though. Next pics will be loaded truck pics.

    Yep.. the granite state. Scrape your boot heel on the ground and you'll find it.

    Wrong. Better. Limb wood is more dense on average than trunk wood. :yes:

    I guess you're feeling better! Great score, I hope you can take some of that granite, it would be great for steps and terraces. Nice time of year to get this wood.

    Looks like a great score/job Woodwhore
    :dex:

    Does your saw bother Tito much?
    Holly won't come near me when running mine, but she also is more than willing to take a chip bath.
    :rofl: :lol:

    Hope you can get some of those stones as well.
    :yes:
