    Getting the saws out since the ice storm before Christmas :) These Elm have got to go but could be a little tricky as there is a hydro line in behind them and they all want to land on it..
    Me and my buddy across the road will be getting the tractor and airplane cable out for a nice easy pull..I HOPE :cool:
    Gonna try and get them early in the morning as they are calling for big wind again and to the right of the picture is a very large open field.

    Mrs loon will be pleased with me when she gets home as the saws have been in the garage for a month and now they are in the house getting warm and sharpend :D

    Will take the camera down with me ;)

    Thanks guys it was a good day and it looked like snow off and on Seasoned but it stayed mostly sunny. Big snow at the end of the field Dave and snapped a chain on the 290 Gas so me and Emma will be back at it in the morning...
