Looking good, brother! Looks like you got a lot of work done (and a lot of wood out of the job, too)!

Nice work! Looks like you kept a lot of the branches. I really like doug fir branches as they do not require splitting (unless they are bigger than 6in dia) plus they are super tight grained as they sometimes reach out 20+ feet. They almost burn like hardwood.
Are the last 2 pics from today?
Looking good, lots of work done.
Nice weather.
I hope no big trees are left near the house, just in case

Yes, last two pics from today. There are still 3 60 year old norway maples near the house.Are the last 2 pics from today?

The difference in the hurricane was the pine trees were like big sails in the wind, the maples didn't have any leaves, so they had less resistance to the wind. I had 25 pine trees come down.They must be strong & healthy.
Bet they make great shade trees

Any truth to that with eastern hemlocks roughly 100ft tall? Trimmed quite a few thick lower branches off and have em stacked for chipping, but might reconsider. Heck of a lot easier to mow with those gone.
I would look at the growth ring on the branches. I was surprised how many and how close the ring were together on the lower long branches.
