Are you felling the tree solo? Please be careful. Have your mom nearby to call for help should things go awry.
Mom is hauling what I cut so she’s out there.
You will be relieved to know that all the tall stuff is down - I am relieved too! The tree trunks are about waist high at this point so I’ll be cutting them down from there.
Cutting rotten wood is dangerous because you don’t know what you’re cutting ‘inside’ a trunk or large branch & worse, which way it will fall. I did have one go exactly opposite of the way it was notched, but I had good safety/escape zones.
One of the pieces I cut was full of ants! I only got one bite - I might have to get my Ortho House Defense spray out to kill them before we pick it up to haul away.
Mom & I are talking about the blooming bushes we want to plant - a nice mental picture among the mess we have to haul away - I’m not sure we’ll finish by dinner.
