A HUGE tree is selected!!!
With the first snow we also thought it was a perfect day to select a tree for Christmas!
We selected a gigantic fir!
Matt, Cody and Chase all took turns sawing....
then Matt sawed another 4' off..... and then another 4' off.... don't need the tree crashing over again like last year, and the year before...
we decided to bring the tree into the barn to dry off.....
Matt had a brilliant, although "redneck" method of de-flocking the tree.... with the leaf blower!
Cody and Chase were so cold so they took a soak in the hot tub!
Chase gets some sawing hints

Let the torching begin
As the rain has started and the fire season is over for 2012... its time to burn the piles of branches and dead trees!
I am happy to report only the "intended" limbs and branches were burned!
First a lot of smoke!
Success!
