    Re: I\'m an advocate for child labor! I don't know all safety measures or rules on them, but my bf makes me where a helment, chaps, and glasses just to cut small pieces of log and then stack them. I couldn't imagine letting any child near a chipper or use a saw.

    My girlfriend's first Tree job!

    Re: My girlfriend\'s first Tree job! I couldn't help but smile, I was nervous as could be. I had your baby in my hands and I knew if I hurt her I was in some serious trouble. I will admit I see why you love your job. It was exciting to cut the tree down and I even liked stacking the wood up...
