Take down my knotty pine trees next to my garage, clear all the debris and you get my sh*t wood for firewood....
Looks like they are poised to fall into the garage too. Gonna require some wedging or pulling..... Sent from my SM-S536DL using Tapatalk
These people are unbelievable.... Hopefully insurance doesn't see this and cancel his policy "you knew they were in danger of falling..." Not that, that happens all the time, I've heard of once
I have seen some crazy ads. One has been up for about a month, maybe more. It's a yard of oak trees, no place to drop em, and they will let you have them if you haul the brush away. These are yard trees and mostly brush. I was tempted to take em down and leave the brush, but I think that would do more harm than good, lol.
Those look like Austrian Pine trees too. That stuff takes forever to season, and is about the hardest wood on Earth to split. I brought a truckload home from work a couple of years ago that the city took down in front of the fire station. I won’t make that mistake again. My 28 ton hydro was groaning every time I made a split. Took forever to process. It burns well, but is not worth the headache.
I made that mistake with blue spruce in Boulder. The non-knotty pieces were easy to split but nearly impossible on the knotty sections.
Speaking of being selective (wood snob)... I made it out to the farm this week. They had some trees dropped and limbed and set aside for me. They've been bugging me to come out all year, but the retaining wall and shed HAD to happen first. So, turns out to be about a half cord of Red Maple. I left a few sticks of punky EWP, and a handful of the RM that was too big and impossible to split by hand. I left a bunch of knots and crotches in a bone pile too. Not worth shelling off 1 or 2 slabs off a crotch piece. I also ran the saws goodfor a couple days....they had wood to cut for syruping. The throttle-therapy was delish....havent run the saws since the yard tree score early splring....
