You just can believe how nice it is to live in a rural area. There is farm country for at least 50 miles in every direction. I am almost done with a job for a very nice lady. 1 take down and 2 trims. All cottonwood. She had a tree rot out at the base and fall over damaging her house and detached garage. She lives about 5 miles out of town. The tree that fell over some one hacked up in to pieces small enough to be picked up by an excavator and then hauled them to a back area of the farm. I have a narrow window to do the takedown cause the electric company is dropping the lines to the house.
So, in the middle of the takedown I am re-fueling the saw and getting a drink. Here come 3 neighboring farmers. They want to know what we were doing with the wood and the chips. I told them that if they wanted the wood they could have it. I finished the takedown and stacked the wood in lift-able pieces and called it a day. I come back the next day, all of the wood is gone and there is an old feller there wanting all the chips.
Once I finish the pile in the back lot, it will all be removed by neighbors and I am taking the chips to the old guy. He said he cant stand the thought of not paying for them, so he is giving me 20 lbs of his home made deer and elk summer sausage and jerky.
Neighbors like this saves the nice old lady in the house about $800 in removal costs. And she is cooking dinner when we are done to boot.
Gotta love small towns.
