Stack them up! I'd rather have the trees than grass. I'd think the shade especially down there would be worth a lot.
Looking good there Jeff. Making some progress. Nice that you dint have to process that gum. Do they pay good for it?
I like the trees too. None of them overhang the house, though a few lean that way. We will gladly take his money and trees...
Haven't taken it to them yet. I just wanted to get rid of the big logs, still have smaller one to process.
Had a full day of work Thursday. Loaded the logs we had cut Wed afternoon, then cut off several stumps We then dropped 5 or 6 small oaks Finished the 1st load of the day, oak and sweet gum Ate a late lunch with our daughter and 2 grandsons. Nice to take a break with them. I think Riley likes chocolate pudding Afternoon work, took down some more nice red oaks. This one had a good lean towards the road, used the tractor for encouragement Got it bucked and brush piled Then we dropped the biggest tree so far, my kind of Goldilocks wood. Didn't have room on the trailer for it this load. 2nd load of the day, 4th total from front yard. Did have a small beech on here too. Some of the big oak was getting some heart rot at the top Dropped this load off at 7PM. Brought tractor home, my weekend to work at the plant and need to stack these logs... I was a tired hoarder, realized I'm not 35 anymore...
A friend of mine was in the Marines, that's how they used to do it. They probably learned it from rednecks!
Wow! Do I ever see Grampa in Riley's face! Probably you looked like that with chocolate pudding at that age.
No kidding! No doubt about the lineage there. Nice work Jeff and Miss Carol, can't wait to see y'all in a couple weeks and here the war stories first hand.
Making some great progress jeff. The right tools make all the difference. It’ll be interesting to see how much firewood it turns into for you
