Hubby was bored....



....... so he took down part of a tree:





It was pretty rotten inside:



But most of it can be used to keep us warm in a year or two.



He'll take the rest of it down another day.


:o)

    1. A wee bit too big for Hubby to take down - those trees are humongous!

  3. You should save the hollow pieces and make bird houses!

  4. Be VERY careful about those 'rotten' tree pieces. I cut up a mostly dead tree and brought it into the house. some of the pieces were small enough that I didn't have to split them to fit them into my woodstove. One of those pieces had a small hole in the heartwood on either end.

    That chunk of tree has about 10,000 carpenter ants living in it and hibernating for the winter. They got good and warm sitting next to the stove and swarmed my whole house for days.
