Lots of logs

Here are some pictures of the logs placed in several places after Monday's cutting operation. The tractor moved 6 bucket loads close to the house. These will be cut, split, and then stacked on the north side of the main garage.

Some of the longer logs in other locations have been measured and marked, the blue line shows where the saw will cut the log. Smaller pieces will be 44 inches, then go in the sawbuck for higher cutting than the ground.

Big logs like these will be cut shorter because of the weight.

Some red maple was included in the job, but most of the logs are paper birch, like these.

The work crew chipped smaller portions of each tree. We decided to keep the end product. We'll use this as mulch and in some wet areas in our trail system.
