Rupert and Malcolm clean up silver birch wood

Another month another lot of cleaning up felled trees. We seem to have killed a lot of grass but Malcolm will get the stuff off this week he says. I am not allowed to do it because he says it is his job!

The big log with red on it is for Simcha Delft, an instrument makeer. She will keep it five years to dry and then use it for mending instruments.

An Alistair will bring some pallets soon to sit the wood on. We already have heaps and have had to buy another tarpaulin.

More on tree felling silver birches gone now

So it was only the silver birches to go now. Alistair downed them very quickly last weekend and Malcolm has spent hours trimming them and sorting them on the front lawn. It enabled the planting of two citrus but I had to plant the damson plum in the vege garden meanwhile. Hopefully the larger trunks will be sawn up soon. We had a big rain so bought a tarpaulin and tied it down for the last storm.

A friend who is an instrument maker has marked some of the birch and will keep it for five years before using it to mend instruments.
