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 AMAZON. It runs on Makita batteries. I tried it and made 650 cuts in no time. The only thing that stoped me from doing more was the mosquitoes! Boy that was actually fun in stead of tedious.

That was a BUNCH of wood to cut...
Guessing that was hard work. In the heat.
No fun at all.

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!

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.
