Clean-up

We are in the process of cleaning up a couple of trees Mike and Damian cut down a few weeks ago. This is one of the trees. It was a good thing they cut this tree when the did. It would have come down sooner rather than later and could have landed right on top of the cabin. It was rotten in the center up about eight (8) feet. I don't know if the ants caused the decay or if the ants came in after.
We tried to put Gabe to work, but it was hard for him to manage with gloves.
So he plaid hockey with a birdie and badminton racket.
We hauled the logs around in a sled behind the 4-wheeler.
The twigs we started burning, there just isn't a practical way to store it for building fires later.
The small branches were cut up and stacked by the fire pit. They make great coals for cooking.
The small logs were stacked in the wood shed to be used later to heat the cabin.
The large logs we piled to be hauled away later for a friend to use to heat their house.
There's so much more work to be done and I'm not good at hard labor.
