Wanting to remove a Large Tree over my Pond next week

[capewind]

I was surprised I could keep the firewood at that price. usually they split it and resell it.

It was a great price, but this time of year, they probably have wood up to their xxxx's .... We've probably have 20-30 cords sitting here in 14' lengths, not bringing anything more home... if a client says they want the wood, it is cheaper and easier for us to go ahead and dice it for them, so not to have to haul it away. I would say all of our wood burning friends are really loving us right now. Whoever is closest to a jobsite and can handle 14' lengths has PLENTY of wood for their stoves already. Time to start running ads on Craigslist again. Once summer hits, all our friends are set, and get $400 per truck load (again, at 14' lengths), which is a really good deal (only prime wood, not crap)... One truck load works out to be about 5 cords ... Unseasoned wood runs $300-350 per cord,

I was just going to post and tell you to be sure to take pictures..... I'm a little behind, huh? It looks nice and I'm sure you'll enjoy the extra sunlight.

I will upload the pics of them cutting it down, they were very efficient and the Logs landed just where they wanted.
I did keep 2 medium size trunks and I am making them a base for a 6 foot bench. working on that now.

Made a nice bench out of Cedar wood where the Stump was and with a few of the logs.
Boy do I have enough Fire Wood for a few months...

Thanks, here are some pics with a nice fire going.
Love it with the tree gone.

The tree has been down a week and I can already tell it provided some good shade for my pond, I am getting a lot more hair algae on the walls.

 

[dieselplower]

I get a lot of that too. I dont mind it. The fish eat it and it helps purify the water. Pond looks great.

 

[shanezam203]

yes, the fish are eating it so I guess it's not all that bad.

 

[shanezam203]

I installed some outdoor speakers in my firewood rack today, sounds great out by the pond.

Last summer we had an huge oak tree taken down it was behind the pond.its much better with out it
In the spring this stuff I call tumbule weed would come off the trees and in the pond no more

 

[shanezam203]

yeah it's NICE to have it gone, I enjoy the view and this fall will be much easier keeping the pond clean before the winter. ;-)
