Must be a really really BIG tree? Just curious. lmao OT

He has some huge trees at his place.

I dropped a nasty 36" Willow last night, diced it up and then cleaned 95% of it up and put it all on the bonfire, then my cleanup crew arrived aka the wife and kids lol. But, I sure was glad to see them since I had been running on 2 hrs of sleep.since 2am . It was 945pm before we left,the place looked great!


The boy is 6'2", I'm a bit shorter lol.
This was the section where it branched out abovethe butt section, glad I had the 28".


The whole tree was on the bonfire pit and this and three other stumps were flush cut and tossed in there too, although this was the last picture I got before it was dark.
Robs got much larger trees at his place...

Actually, it's fair sized, It's "behind" that clump of trees just to the left of center, in the pict. I posted.

You are welcome to come cut it down and see for yourself, if you like. The ones in the center of the pict. have to go too.

You didn't see the missus flying the drone overhead?

"Right kids, he's nearly finished. Let's get there now so we can say we helped!"

Was opening day for fishing creeks and rivers. Caught a few brookies and found a nice 8 pointer. All together, a nice hike.

Unfortunately they had plans, but I wanted to get going on it as I'm hoping to rent a stump grinder next weekend. Yesterday I went there(no helpers, and they never showed up lol)and dropped a small pine and cleaned up some broken branches from last "winter"(wasn't much of a winter), then I moved all the wood around on the bonfire.
Hope to get back over there Monday to haul the pine back and get the fire raging again, then move whatever is left onto that.


The log along the side of the pile is 10' long for reference.


Looks nice without those nasty monsters around, the trees, not the wife and kids .

I need to take some update pictures when I get a chance. Progress has been slower then I'd like, but it's getting there. Decided to re do some of the sona tubes, go deeper with them at the far end near the hill and bump up to 12" from 8". My wife deciding the room should be 15' vs 10' really put a hitch in how I had everything planned. Good news, is everything should be a but stronger. Need to run for one more 12" tube this morning. I forgot To grab one last night when I got more sac create. Also picked up 2 4x6's 12' long. Going to sister them together and use them for the far end. Decided the center is going to get 2 of the 6x6 posts sistered which leaves me with one "spare" that I'll center in the room end. Also going to make some knee braces for the open span side. Hopefully I'll have all the concrete work done this morning then I can start laying out for the uprights and set posts tomorrow.

That sounds like something @bob kern would say about his family... after calling his wife wide, calling her an anchor... some people just talk funny. LOL
