It’s Survival of the Prepared!

---

All of the trees we’re chopping for this winter are those that fell in storms from last. Last year was one for storms!

First step: cut the root ball off and chop the tree into sections that the excavator can pull out.

Second step: Drag the tree to the area where we slice it into rounds and chop it

Third step: create a massive pile of chopped wood

Fourth step: stack the massive mound.

And finally! Sit back and enjoy the heat!

The dogs always get the best spots!
