What happens here

Once trees are selected and the felling plan is in place, the team proceeds with cutting them down. A person operates a Stihl chainsaw to make precise cuts at the base of the tree. For larger trees or to ensure a controlled fall, a Kubota KX040-4 mini excavator, equipped with a hydraulic thumb attachment, is utilized. The excavator operator positions the thumb against the tree trunk, providing leverage and guiding the tree's fall direction while the chainsaw operator finishes the cuts. This combined approach significantly enhances safety and control during tree felling.

Goal: Safely and efficiently fell trees using chainsaws, with excavator support for control.

squirrels are making a nest on top of it I'm going to read you a clip directly from the green Builder magazine talking about wood burning stoves must be regulated right now they go on to being said that all residents in a neighborhood that have someone with a wood stove in their neighborhood it needs to be strictly regulated because everyone suffers but they don't want to just control it they want to create this is their this is their compromise they want to allow us to have a permit and to tell us when we can burn what times we can burn if there's a power outage it's going to be okay to use your wood burning stove it's just another level of control control and the people giving up their freedom for security to the government and allowing the government to tell them what they can and can't do but my question to you is would that fly with you would you allow that to happen let me know in the comments
