Not the way I want to add to my stacks

I've got an ash tree that has succumbed to the EAB and it sits right between my house and my neighbors so I had to have a pro take it down. Of course the deal gets better the more they cut so today they added three other trees plus some thinning for a total of $1,300. They are taking the limbs and cutting the wood to 16" lengths so I don't have to do that.

I hate to see any tree come down but all of them are infected. It's an expensive way to add to my stacks but I have to keep telling myself I'm paying the expertise and not the wood.

All but one of them is down. I did ask what they did with the wood that people didn't want and he said they take it to the dump. I told him that if he was in the area and some, especially oak, that they could bring it to me. We'll see if it pans out. I still don't like seeing trees come down.
