    Did a small gig for some standing dead red oak.

    Then hit a second site given to us my an arborist friend. Huge standing dead oak, arborist took big part of trunk, which was great by me as it was 4ft plus in diameter, and we got the tops, guessing over two cords, and made a few bucks to do clean up. Heading back out tomorrow to finish up.

    Two cords of hardwood, and you got paid to take it? Sounds like a good day to me.

    All cleaned up before the rain. Based on size of trees still alive and nearby planted at same time, am guessing this tree was 75-100 years old. The others looked pretty healthy. Ended up with about two cords of really nice wood. Township took the brush load. 53015_1.jpeg 53015_2.jpeg
