    Been busting my but each day after work people drive by slow down. They say wow I would like some fire wood I say bring your saw and they leave and never show back up. I'm only going to cut down to what I can roll up on to my 16' flat deck trailer some of that stuff is way too big to try to lift. The worst part is I can not bring a tractor in to load it in the dump trailer.

    If you work that from the top down you will have plenty to haul even this weekend. Not too many folks can handle the bigger stuff.

    Well I was devastated!!! I was heading home Monday and I looked over at MY tree and the city boys hired a contactor to clean it up. Dang never got to finish my tree oh well got some good stuff now on to the neighbors place!!! More trees than this redneck can count and its all red oak. And one big nasty post oak trunk to cut up.

    Get the tree service crews to do it off at your house. That would be hilarious, half the work done and you don't even need to cut it up or haul it then.:rofl: :lol:
