A few decent sized trees in the bunch. The 47" tree was a double-trunk, so only the base was that large (the larger of the twins was 28" at the...
Pictures never do anything justice, but this is a good amount of wood and will keep me busy for a while (I still have quite a bit that has been...
Only took two pics early this morning as it just got too busy and I didn't bother taking any more. Final tally was seven red oaks, four white...
Just a drop in the bucket but considering how much of a stressor these trees near the house have been over the last couple years, it felt good to...
Haven't even checked yet. Since they have only been dead for less than two years, I still plan on drying for three. Once I get them CSS, I'll...
I think the largest was around 28" in diameter. I have 29 more dead oaks that will have to come down eventually and some are even larger in size.
Three more down this afternoon and a huge slash pile chipped. Hopefully finish up the big stuff tomorrow (felling one more oak and possibly 2-3...
Asked him today when he was here and it's running a Detroit 353 engine.
LOL. Might as well be with some of the weather they have had up there over the years. This was a few days ago. [ATTACH]
Another minor delay today as the logger got called out this morning for an emergency the next town over (tree down at a residence thanks to...
Definitely looking forward to having all that oak CSS and in my hoard, especially since I fell way behind due to not being able to get out and...
Doh! My tired brain not making the connection to my fingers when I was typing. Spent the whole day hauling branches and other slash that have been...
Too windy today to fell any more trees however the logger dropped off one of his big guns, a 1964 Timberjack skidsteer. He wants the 20-ton winch...
I'll finally be rolling in red oak like MikeInMa! I was thoroughly impressed with how he dropped that third tree (the one my dog is on in the...
Poured yesterday and there were some high winds this morning, so the carnage didn't start until this afternoon. Still, three of the six oaks are...
Busy, busy, busy! How's the wind down there today? I need to get a bunch of prep work done outside prior to the tree felling next week but the...
When he was leaving, the logger told me "the keys are in it, have at it", however, as tempting as it may be, I will err on the side of caution....
I usually run the brush through a chipper and use the wood chips around the property. It'll definitely by nice to have all that oak CSS and ready...
The six oaks with the red stars are the first ones coming down. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Sometimes you just get lucky. A local logger was taking down some caterpillar-killed trees at a camp at the end of my road. I had the chance to...
