A year ago I posted that I had got hooked up with a tree service that dropped a half dozen logs off at my house when they were in the area. A week ago the foremen stopped at my house and told me they got the job to remove all of the trees on the right away for a street widening project in the town I work in. He said that it will take his crew most of the summer to complete this job. They have a place to haul all of the brush and limbs that is right on my way home from work. It is on private property so it is not open to anyone to cut on. He gave me permission to cut any thing that I wanted off of the piles with the only condition being that if a grapple truck comes in to dump I can't be in the way. I toured the street that is having all of this work done on and would guess about 75% ash with 3 good size oak trees. Just thinking in the back of my mind how much wood I could pile up before fall stopping when ever I can and throw a few on. It would be great to be 3 or 4 years ahead on my wood supply like some of the members of this board. Now my biggest concern is to get a lot better on using a file to sharpen my chain on the saw. I have read most all of the post on this board on chain sharpening and have watched a good number of UTube videos of people showing how it is done. I would like to go on record and say that it is not as easy as the people in the videos make it look. Not sure what I am doing wrong but I don't see a noticeable difference from before to after I file it. Practice makes perfect so I will keep plugging away and as of right now the only way is up.
