I have some concerns, that I'd like to hear some cautionary experiences.
Tree is close to 36" dia at the base, near the road, level ground, etc. Good!
But, it is in really moist soil. So moist that I was able push much smaller healthy trees over. In fact there are even larger trees that have fallen in years past, and the roots are huge. Soil encrusted roots span 10' in diameter or maybe larger. I'm on guard thinking that as the tree begins its fall that it will pull the roots out and possible create a dangerous situation. I plan to run like a little chicken from an axe wielding grandma on a Sunday afternoon.
I'm guessing there is 2+ cords of firewood, maybe even 3 cords. Only other question is the quality of the logs within. I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning.
