Labor Day Weekend

We have some neighbors who have several dead trees in their yard and asked Richard is he knew of a good tree service to take them down. Richard said that as long as there was "no chance" of the trees hitting their house we would take them down for the firewood.

When I came home from work on Thursday before the long weekend I could see that he had been busy splitting the logs that had been lying in the backyard all summer.


On Friday afternoon, he went up to the neighbor's house and took down three trees and cut them into fireplace lengths. We and I do mean WE went up on Saturday morning and started splitting them. We also took down another tree, cut it into lengths and spilt it. We then had to haul our wood home and stack it.

This is the first tractor bucket full stacked into the wood shed.


Here comes the second tractor bucket full,,,,


And the third.


On Sunday we moved the pile he split on Thursday into the wood shed. That took 2 tractor bucket fulls.


Needless to day I was extremely grateful to wake up and see the rain falling this morning.

There are still a couple more trees at our neighbor's house that need to come down plus a few dead ones around our house. Before the snow falls we will have the woodshed stocked chock full plus some.
