Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 3809380, member: 7631"] Barney Miller was a great show. My yard is only half an acre, but it had 31 trees over 6" in diameter when we moved in. I haven't counted lately, but it's way down from that. We've lost a few big tuliptrees, three medium white oaks, a black gum, and one huge red oak. The red oak died three years ago, and it was growing at about a 30 degree angle, hanging right over the back-yard neighbor's trampoline. That one was pretty expensive to take down. But for all of them we've kept the wood (we literally saved a couple thousand dollars on the biggest poplar), so not sensitive to cord-wood prices. I was keeping up with splitting up till a couple of years ago, but I've slowed down recently. That red oak is still good in the center, but the outer part is starting to soften. The wife and I can split and stack about half a cord in a few hours, but last weekend we only lasted two, and we paid for it for a couple of days. [/QUOTE]
