2010-10-23 Tree Fellers Happy Birthday!

It was Daves birthday and as he really likes chopping trees.....here is a white oak across the track between Dausse and Karls place.

cutting with a chainsaw was not as practical when the tree is right over your head, so Karl and Dave used the lopping saw. (well mainly Karl as Dave still has a bad shoulder)

Using Karls Toyota to tow the tree down from the bank, to a safe position to cut it........coming up on 5 hours work !! (i threw a few branches over into the wood)

Finally attempting to cut the 'real' wood.....but alas neither Karl or Daves chainsaws were man enough for the job, and the trunk is still there to this day!!
