Here's What We Were Dealing With...
... Years of Dead Trees, Brush & Tree Trimmings.
Dan Recently Took Down The Pine In Front Of His Home.
We Piled What We Could Into The Yard And ...
... Got Ready To Grind It Up. I Was Joined By The Neighbors Dan & Jeremy. Dan's Son Danny Got The Equipment And Helped Get Us Started.
The Chore Was A Simple One.
Insert Brush Into One End And ...
... Haul The Chips Away From The Other.
Jeremy Rescued Me - I Got The Chain Saw Stuck Taking Down A Tree.
He Made Short Order Of It For Me- Thanx!
Ready For More Action? Actually By This Time I Was Already Feeling The Affects.
The Equipment Was Incredible But We Did Push It A Bit Too Far At Times. Luckily We Could Reverse The Gears By Pulling The Bar.
The Sticker Bushes I Killed Last Fall Got The Better Of Me This Spring!
Jeremy's Been Burning Brush He's Been Cutting To Open Up His Back Yard. He Brought Lots Of It Over And Made Short Order Of It.
At The End Of The Day We Had A HUGE Pile Of Mulch.
Dan Shoveled & I Hauled It Into The Green Space To Make A Nice Walking Path.
I Used The Logs That We Couldn't Mulch To Line The Path And...
... Filled It In With Mulch. Look How Much Of The Area To The Left Has Been Cleared!
The Path Doesn't Go The Entire Length Of Our Property Lines, But...
Maybe We'll Have A Community Cleanup Day This Year & Finish The Rest?
Most Of The Pile Is Gone, It Got To Be Too Difficult To Haul It Up To The Shredder. There Was ALOT Of Brush That Was More Convenient To Mulch.
Dan Was Able To Eliminate All The Brush Behind His Wood Pile And ...
... He Got Some Fresh Firewood For A Summer Bar-B-Que.
Nice View Into The Green Space w/o The HUGE Pile Of Brush In The Background - Thanx Guys For The Help!
