That must've been fun. I can't imagine you get to smash it down through the roof that often!

Oh man, I have always wanted to smash a building. Just let the inner beast go rampaging around hammering and smashing things. Nice job.

it was a hoot to not have to worry about the house fence what ever,
not very often I get a opportunity like that and I tried not to waste it.

I hope the tree gods smile upon you one day as they did me and present unto you a big tree and a house real close by .

Gday Ray,

Excavators ,
two big ones with 4 way buckets.
and yes I had a ball except for the sap issues.



that took a bit of undoing to get every thing ticketey boo again.

I took on my first cottonwood last week - will go back and finish it off tomorrow,
just a 100 footer to start off with you know building myself up etc.



I was surprised that we even had one this big over here but sadly we do so I am doing the right thing and taking care of that for the betterment of the whole community lol.

Does it smell as bad as ours? Way to sort it out.

I do a lot of pines but that is by far the craggy and snarly kind of pine there is. The wood seems to hinge awful. Looks like something worse than trying to cut big wood in a silver maple. Terrible bar grabber when the hinge opens.

You are seeing it very well Steve,
my biggest worry on these is getting the bar or chain caught up in one of these horrible pieces.
did nearly get me on the second site but managed to slide her out as the piece fell away - close though
really shite full horror stories these old Aleppo Pines just nightmares.
Ben.
