After a slow start due to a minor winch cable jam that took a while to unjam, we cut and moved all the pine from next to the house.
It was quite windy with gusts seeming to blow from all directions so I hooked a snatch to a stump and tensioned every tree so they only went where I aimed them.
Probably a ten trees that will yield a few sawlogs and a lot of "biomass".
But it has opened up the view from and feel of our screen porch and more importantly, removed the danger of trees falling on the house.
A few more of the small hardwoods still to go.
The pics really don't show tall and dense it was and how open it now is, those 70 foot tall pines blocked a lot of light.
