    We've taken out about 40 trees so far. Started hauling last night and continued today. Five loads so far. Excavator got dropped off tonight. It'll run all day tomorrow. 20210720_183100.jpg 20210720_192712.jpg 20210720_183114.jpg 20210723_132543.jpg 20210723_200554.jpg 20210721_183727.jpg

    Looks like a lot of standing dead timber is being cleared.

    Pictures are worth a thousand words right? Holy moley was it hot. Lost count somewhere around 70 trees. 7 trucks & trailers. About 25-30 cord total I'd guess. 20210724_120357.jpg 20210724_121004.jpg 20210724_125308.jpg 20210724_133851.jpg 20210724_120315.jpg

    There's 4-5 loads of dead Ash poles I gotta pull out from the backside yet, but no real rush on those. I figure I'll be at about 15 cord outta here, plus maybe 20 ish for the other guys. Good sized job.

    Part sun 88 & humid. Less than ideal cutting conditions, but it had to get done.

    Nope, but that would feel real good about now.:dennis:
    Thanks gas. It's been a long week between my regular job, & then every night till dusk prepping this one, but we got er done!
    Yep, lots of work & :makeitrain" around right now so I'll take it while it's there. We've got 4 more removal jobs coming up, but they're just a few trees so no big deal there.

    Adam, you couldn't have picked a much more uncomfortable day to do that work. It reminded me of a week a long, long time ago when logging. The work went slow because it was so hot and humid and my clothes were soaked all day frpm sweat. I miss those logging days but not in these type of conditions.
