Looks like a good weekend to me!

 

[loon]

ya we had fun 106 ;-)

hard to explain with this picture but the elm on the left has to come down and on the right you can see my house outline.. quick guesstimate is the tree is 120ft and the house is 119ft :cheese:

will see what we can do next weekend

i am on the road with the camera with hydro wires, so this way aint an option...

Loon is that some of the stuff you cut earlier this year? Good too have the dogs back in the picture.

the maple on the left is from that big limb that fell on the house last year and the couple pieces she is playing with is the locust i have been dealing with the last couple weeks.

being new to locust, i didnt know how easy the bark comes off? and just how thick it is...

I disagree . . . they should be driving your truck, ATV, etc. to make them look more natural.

 

[loon]

never even thought of that one jake? ;-) will have to look into it

[loon]

Me and Murphy went out between rains and tried to get some fun in.

but it started again and came back in the house and did this..end of May eh!! ;-P

Loon the weather sure does suck, the fire does seem like a good idea. Coming home it was raining dogs & dogs, drove out of it 10 miles later and we never did get hit here.




Zap

 

[loon]

out west here is having a real bad time zap, as you guys over in the States :shut:

so i guess i shouldnt complain as we are just getting heavy rain with no flooding around our home..

Loon I've never burned any but did get some cut and stacked so it will be ready for burning this year. The way I look at it if it's down I grab it.

The popple we burn will save on the cherry so why not. Nice ash tree in the picture with Emma.

[loon]

thanks zap.. still debating what to do with it? just talked to the fella yesterday that has all the locust and i guess there are another half dozen he would like dropped, so told him to give them a mark and i will be down tomorrow ;-P

and i hope the ash out lasts me :cheese:

We have Tulip Poplar (Yellow) around here. I don't go out of my way to get it. Not much heat value, but it'll work for shoulder fires. On the plus side, it's very easy to carry. :lol:

With the Locust option available, I wouldn't be wasting any time on the Poplar.
