Was the tree used for the house, not in the way of the house?

I was wondering the same thing. I bet the tree was in the way. You never know with Dan though.

No, to build a house where it was.

That stump that dropped on the truck is still there, it was big and on a hill, it'd probably go big numbers.

the 175 was from the original schoolhouse in Siloam, there was a big tree on each side. The school burned down in the '30s or something, and we found corresponding damage that agreed. Also it showed a drought when the old timers remembered it. (10 year dry spell)

Kind of neat. It died of natural causes.

Many, many times I've driven by a house under construction in the corner of a field. I think what a poor place as there are no trees for shade.

For sure my neighbors sweet gum saves me on electric bill in the summer.

I'll bet the cutters are about half gone at least, right?

some of them are

ya they are at least a 1/3 gone and have really agressive angles and oddly sharp my brother in law messed it up with a grinder
and I used a tiny file to open the gullets, and it has a small chassis

 

[cobey]

i think its a homelite chain, the 650 chad runs has the same chain, but full chisel
the links and rivots are kinda flat

Nice firewood there!
Wonder what killed it?

It is really good firewood, after a couple days beside the stove, it's ready to burn. It almost makes me feel bad to cut such beautiful wood just to burn it, but maybe it will make a couple nice, short slabs.
I don't know what killed it, but it was old enough for it to possibly have been a natural death.

Since most of my wood is relatively clean, I use full chisel most of the time. Thank God for a tractor with forks/grapple, bucking trailer & splitter with out-feed tables! I can normally pick-up & keep the logs/wood off the ground.

For stump work I use semi-chisel with a hard nosed bar.

That would be my age.........LOL

However, the worst case of firewood abuse I have ever seen, was a Californian bought a lot in Idaho, bought a log package from Metals 406 s neighbor, and hired some locals to assemble it. After a few days of clearing snow to get to work, he gave up, gave the package to the helpers, and went back to California. :whoopee: !

Being so poor, the only thing they could come up with was to cut it up for firewood. They got $ 3000. delivered.

The package was $ 80 K, and very nice.

There you go.

PS I wasn't one of ANY of those people, just a spectator.
