Feb. 5…We’re gone for two days and look what happens…Our 45 year old front yard tree decides to topple.
it yanked the post clean out of the ground.
Look at all those branches…I’m going to try out my new battery-powered pole saw.
I like this saw.
That little Greenworks 8 inch battery powered pole saw worked fast…It’s quiet with no mixed gas and no emissions.
While I was looking over all the wind damaged trees, a City of Bandon ‘bucket’ truck drove by, turned around, and stopped. “Looks like you could use some help.” Kevin took care of the leaning eucalyptus tree while Mark started cutting the big one.
Thank you Mark and Kevin and the City of Bandon utility crew.
That left the bare straight part and the stump. I figured we could wait for the weekend, but my wife let it be known that it had to be removed ASAP. “The fence is open and Bailey (our old and very deaf dog) could get hit by a car.”
A rented log splitter did most of the work with the two of us wrestling the sawn rounds onto the splitting plate.
I love it when the splitter pops the ’round’ all the way through, but it doesn’t happen often enough.
Load after load gets carried away with our DR Power Wagon. It will carry 800 pounds (362 kg) of anything, but it’s fossil fueled. We want to replace it with a battery-powered version. If anyone has a suggestion, please comment. Cool hat, Sue.
That stump was stubborn, but no match for the two of us, even though we’re in our 70’s.
Carmen is going to miss her climbing tree.
Sue shows off the latest in log splitting gear.
…and her mighty stacks of firewood.
