Timberrrrr! (3rd time's the charm? fixed links? (please, dear god, let them work)

[DrPizza]

As a father, there comes a time in your life when you get to relax: when the kids are old enough to tackle tough jobs, and before they leave for college. Some pics of my son having fun (and of the large maple tree that we had taken down):
It saved me a few hundred to just have it chopped down (in a few pieces, of course.) I can deal with the clean-up myself (with the kids). I don't have the safety equipment to climb the tree and cut it myself. (well worth the $250 to have dropped in chunks like this.) And, hey! I don't have to dig a hole for the new maple that's going in.

he already cut off all these branches since 3:30
hard to tell how big it is from this picture
grunt work
more grunt work
and more grunt work
cutting away
more cutting
bigass tree (now you can see how big it is)
that made a big hole... think maybe I'll plant the new maple here.

Links aren't working for me, sorry.

Just make sure you keep all the neighborhood kids at least a block away.

Oooops! 404; sorry, page not found. Drop me an email at Tom@slatebrookfarm.com and I'll see what I can do to fix it. Thanks.

ooops, fixed the links (forgot the .com)

lol @ neighborhood kids. Just as long as they're not riding their bikes
They can carry all the wood they want though.

You forgot the .JPG too.

Yeah, I did forget the .jpg. Having a bad day... maybe it's a good thing my son is operating the chain saw and not me.

I'm wondering if I can get any money for the main trunk (local sawmill?) I'll have to check...

Links are still dead.

 

[Homerboy]

useless without working pics

There's something I didn't know til just now... it's case sensitive? Oh well... they better work now.


Here I am, hurrying to fix the links - if I wasn't hurrying, I'd have clicked preview and made sure they worked (which I should have done in the first place.) Oh well. Live and learn.


edit: Thanks dullard and binister

 

[DrPizza]

Hurray! The links work. Time to change and go chop up tree.

You should take the tree to a sawmill and have them cut it up and sell the wood.

Probably not worth it. There's definitely several hundred dollars worth of wood in that tree. But labor to transport and mill it would eat most of it.

Still, I'd see if I could end up with some 8/4 lumber out of it. That thing is plenty wide you might get some 12" wide lumber out of it.

 

[ElFenix]

might make some good furniture.

 

[bobsmith1492]

MMmm... hardwood firewood. Burn it! Do you have a fireplace?

I'm going to guess it's a sheep.
