As I mentioned before...I am lucky to have the Sasquatch willing and able to deal with clearing the downed trees from the storm.
He has worked a cycle of chain sawing trunks into smaller sections, gathering broken limbs, hauling it back to the burn pit area, then burning.
It's hard, heavy work.
I haven't been able to do much to help. It's better if I just stay out of the way.
At times there is a burn ban in our county (when it's dry or windy) so the brush can pile up a bit waiting to be burned.
No reason to be in a hurry...the wood piles will still be there waiting.
One of the broken Sassafrass turned out be be hollowed out inside. The trunk had a bunch of giant wood eating grubs inside that may have contributed to the tree damage.
(I will write about those grubs another day).
The Sasquatch saved a few of the big logs and stacked them at the rear of the field.
They look like they could be handy for something.
In fact a friend of his asked for a few of them to hollow out for a grill chimney or something like that.
The clean up continues!
