    This big white pine came down in a storm a few weeks ago at a neighboors right by the house. $500 to make it disappear. I accepted. Been limbing it for the last 2 days at a leisurely pace. 20190607_172145.jpg I have an unbelievable amount of this stuff already c/s/s. I may just sell this all as campfire wood to the tourists. 20190607_172304.jpg

    Nobody paid me to do that at my house. :rofl: :lol:
    I got a LOT of firewood from that tree, but the limbs...............:hair:
    Nice that you can do it at your own pace.

    A tree like that has a lot of limbs and branches that require more work as you know. :confused:

    If you can haul and dispose of the limbs in the woods close by, that would save a lot of work, as you know already.

    I just helped a neighbor by hauling a whole huge pine tree off her land into my woods using my tractor. No cutting needed. Saved a bunch of work....

    Multi-trunk pine in need of being de-limbed. There's a Steven King Nightmare in there somewhere.
