One at a Time

Removal of a large sugar maple was started one week ago.  Due to the close proximity to the house, I paid a crew to take it down and all cleanup was done by the my wife and me.  In addition to this work, I had the crew do some serious trimming to four other trees, we cleaned that up as well.

 

 

Taking one piece at a time to the splitting area.  Except for the largest chunks, all of the firewood has been cut and split.

Wow, that looks like a 1/4 T chunk.     Is that the Lewis Burns crew?

I was surprised just how well the handled the heavy stuff, when you consider that over half the weight was in front of the bucket this thing earned its keep.

 

It was Chad Emig, near Hanover.  His girlfriend helps and he had one other for this large job.

I finally stacked all the firewood from that maple tree, it produced 2.8 cords.
