Oh yes! We don't burn wood, but our tamarisks are so huge now they are falling with every windstorm. This pile is about 12 feet front to back. The front of it really doesn't show how much is there!

We are giving it to some friends that have a fireplace.

We are definitely cutting wood. We lost twenty large oak trees to this horrible Texas drought. My Jim spends most of his free time cutting down and cutting up the trees. We are planning to replant if we can find more drought tolerant trees for this area.

Nope...not right now. We have everything done for this year and for part of next year. We've been in the mood to do some lately, but our machine shed is full of wood and we don't like to stack it out in the open.

I hope that is not poison ivy on that tree? Ouch - itch. Makes me itch to think of sawing into poison ivy.

We already cut all our wood for this year but have started on next year too.

It was PI But the tree had fallen over a year ago and broke the lines and the ivy was long since dead. Im not allergic to it unless I draw it between my fingers. If it gets on the web of my hand or the sides of my fingers ill break out. But just there only.

Ouch! Be careful with it. My son is so allergic to it that we cannot even burn it in the wood stove if poison ivy was on it at all. Hope it will be OK and you do not break out.

Like I said, it dosent bother me. I ripped it off before I cut it up, and hauled it by bare hand to the burn pile of small branches and twigs.
