We had to have a few trees taken down at the Anderson Rocky Valley Estates. I had hoped they would rebound and push out green leaves, as they were nice tall oak trees, but it wasn’t to be.
When the tree service folks came, I had them cut the trees down and leave them on the ground. Turned out to be a lot of wood…
First tree project is firewood. The lovely wife’s parents have a wood burning fireplace, I have a bunch of wood, wasn’t much of a stretch to make firewood.
Step 1: Build firewood rack. Simple stuff here, pressure treated 2×4 and 4×4 pine with deck screws and galvanized lag bolts.
Step 2: Knock the logs down into firewood. Chainsaw and a splitting maul made for fun work. Several different muscle groups vigorously protested upon being pressed into service after a long hiatus. I wasn’t sure how much firewood would fit the rack I built, so I guesstimated at 1 trailerful:
Step 3: Deliver rack and wood:
That managed to use up about 10% of the fallen trees I have in my yard. Stay tuned for other projects.
