I cut up some logs later last night and stacked them on firewood pile. Today I raked some of the loose leaves and twigs and burned them in barrels.

Managed 2 sessions outside today cleaning up the tree debris. Log pile in picture #2 is waiting for me to cut and stack for firewood. Thunderstorms rest of today and tomorrow. I get to take a break!

Spent half the day on errands and food shopping -so I only did one shift (1-1/2 hrs) on the tree debris. Two burn barrels filled and burned and cut up some large logs for easier moving. I should be able to get 3 shifts in tomorrow (weather permitting).

I have enough issues with grass around the barrels catching fire. Not a fan of bon fires for that reason. Burn barrels are very efficient at getting rid of the brush. They empty out in half an hour. I can watch them on my CCTV camera while cooling off inside the house.

Well got more work done between thunderstorms today.

Made more progress on cleaning up the tree debris today.

Actually the heat is the negative part of doing the job. Using the brushless pruners and Mini chainsaw is the fun part. They make the task fun. I was using hand pruners for the first 2 days and my hand was sore. The generic pruner that works with Makita batteries has made the difference...

First 2 pictures show the yard before cleanup. The rest are from today's progress.

Thank you for the moral support guys..

Making slow progress on clearing all the cuttings from the trees. Had 2 burn barrels delivered Tuesday to make it easier to get rid of small branches/twigs and leaves. I've been using pruners to cut the small branches to fit flat in the burn barrels. Tonight I got my wireless pruner from...

As long as I don't get hurt I will be happy.

I had 2 large oak trees cut down in my yard today. I will be busy for the next week or so cutting up the limbs., and burning the small twigs and leaves. They wanted over $500 to dispose of all the tree limbs. Going to try and save the big logs to make boards and the smaller for fire wood.

I am going to try and build a Tadano Faun ATF-400G all terrain crane. The model will be 40" long. (my largest)

Final pictures of COMPLETED Ford Model T

The workshop sign is made out of cedar that I cut from a log into boards. I used Matt clear coat on it. I think the Gloss finish would have made it too dark!
