Neighbor down the road called yesterday. He was having a big red oak taken down in back of his house. Said the guy wanted five hundred to drop the tree in sections and asked if he wanted them to do the removal. He told the guy to buck the trunk and limbs in 16" rounds and he would take care of removal.
Took me three hours this morning to load and haul those 36 heavy suckers up the hill in five or six loads. It caught me by surprise because I dropped five size extra large dead oaks Saturday and Sunday and was going to goof off and do some other stuff for a few days before I messed with trees in this heat and humidity again. The run for the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 stacks has begun. I do believe these will be the last ones I drop, chop and lug up the hill. Might be a different story if I could get loads of logs just dropped in the yard like I see here in the pics and posts.
Get'in entirely too old for this stuff. I see a high efficiency heat pump and a tax credit in my future. My retirement present. :cheese:
