I guess so! You have to admit, you beat yourself up more often than anyone else.

Had to rep you for that one.

I tried, but couldn't... :msp_biggrin:
Us gimps are still gettin' by, but we don't need to get in any more fights.
I had a great day today, so perhaps I am feeling a bit too spunky. I made $1800 on a tree job, and we were all done and back to the shop by 5:00. It was nice big hackberry, but it was actually pretty easy.

I tried to hit him for you, but I am shooting blanks too.

What do you do with the trunk and limbs when you take a tree down?

We throw it away, unless I happen to be a bit low on firewood. There would have been at least 3 cords of wood in this tree. We made 3 trips to the log disposal, filled with logs. It was about a 34" caliper tree, and the bottom was clear wood with lots of easy splitting. Discoloration from disease, but no rot (yet). The branches were mostly clear of knots, and it had been well trimmed for most of it's life. Basically: it was great for making firewood.
That whole tree got hauled off to a giant landscape company that grinds it up and sells the mulch. :msp_w00t: They take our logs for free, so long as they aren't contaminated with chips or brush.
Right now, I have a guy that takes our wood chips for free, too. He has a little truck farm going, and he is apparently mulching his produce and amending the soil with it.
Have I got you wishing for the firewood I pitched, yet?
Oops. Forgot to mention: there was another 4' of clean trunk behind a wall that you can't see in the pic.

Just curious... I've contemplated offering a dump point for tree services free of charge... Just wasn't sure they'd be interested...
You guys are too kind! Thanks.
Question: How do you know how much rep you are giving to someone. Is there a score visible somewhere, or are you just guessing?
You had better have a big hole to fill. Problem is: a lot of tree services sell firewood. Most of them would keep the good wood, and then you would get the crap that nobody wanted.
Cottonwood, elm, pines, horribly knotty logs, great big logs too big to be practical, too rotten to split...you would get it all.
If you have a really big hole, set up a cheap price, and they will begin delivering more wood chips and logs than you are ready for.
If you were to offer them a decent price for delivering clean logs with just a few restrictions, they would line your street with long lines of trucks willing to bring you firewood.

Psshhh... Knots??? Crap???
You haven't seen the trees I cut around here...
Ain't a straight one in the bunch...
I just can't see how they'd want to drive 10 - 15 miles out to drop it off...

I'd definitely let em dump tree's at my place to cut up for fire wood. Just don't think we have anybody around here that does that kind of work.:bang:
