    This is a maple that provided way too much shade; coupled with a fist sized patch of rot it was time to go.

    I understand the rave, smooth, light and plenty of power. She did all the work besides the lower limbs and felling.

    And one stump for good measure. The rest is for the backhoe.

    The last pic sorta makes it look like a spruce... :whistle: I hear sawbucks can come in real handy for that sized stuff too...:D

    Nice job - looks like it was a tight squeeze between the corner of the house and the stacks! :yes:

    Not too bad but I put a line up in the tree for good measure. I reckon the sawbuck will be seeing some use. :saw:


    Hey now :mad:haha that sticker on the back gives it even more class.

    I appreciate that Stinny. The shed was my biggest construction project as the foreman. Still standing after a few years so I guess I did alright. I had in mind a woodshed lean to as well but at minimum setbacks I quickly hit max sq footage.

    Nice clean up after the fall. I always hated cleaning up after a spruce tree. Looks like you processed anything useable Neat looking yard you have. Once the grass grows back, you won't miss those trees at all. Like me, you are surrounded in trees.
    I got real sick of the mess from debris from the trees on the roof tops and on the cars. Took them down and feel much better about it.

    Good work - lots of limbing on that maple - that can be a PITA. Looks great after all done. Cheers!
