My dad trimmed trees for a living when I was a baby. As I grew up (from grade school on), many of my weekends were spent helping drag and load brush in the truck, cutting and stacking firewood, etc. As I began to make calls, I think back to some of the trees and firewood we cut. I can't tell you the thousands of calls that could have been made out of some of the wood we split and/or burned. Makes me sick...
I can remember cutting where an interstate was going in on the outside of KC MO in the 70's. We cut walnut trees over 20" thick ( I remember because dad had a 20" chainsaw bar that didn't get all the way through some) that didn't have a limb for over 20 feet up the base of the tree. I don't remember how many rick of walnut we cut and hauled out of there... thousands of dollars worth of lumber if we had only thought about it...
Pappy, you're bringing back memories...
