Or, Have Saws - Will Travel (at least as far as my tractor will take me)
Big winds last week flopped this large old pine tree over along my neighbor's property line. The shallow root system lifted right out and stood up with tree attached. The root pancake is taller than me:
I am retired, I own saw(s), and it's my birthday so I had the day off. I told the neighbor I'd cut it up, and that I thought I'd be able to flop the roots back down. So, after enough breakfast at the free on your birthday smorgasboard, I set out with small tractor and cart full of saws and first cleared a little work space and flopped the trunk back in the rightful place:
Lots of boring video of when I re-felled the trunk, bucked and limbed my way back to their house, and sent this picture to the home owner, who was at work today:
Kind of a one man GTG, but the whole family was there:
