Processing A LOT of stuff into firewood

[@cosmo1340]

Arrrrrgh...fire wood - my childhood was spent processing fire wood every summer... I love watching you use the splitter...it makes it all seem a dream!!! We did not have a log splitter...my Dad used a maul and a sledge hammer to split the big oak logs.

Same deal with my dad. He loved splitting firewood.

I absolutely agree with you, keep those trees. And the trees were there before his panels, so tough luck bro.

[@jmonsted]

Yep, you've already accommodated him by letting him take down the problem trees. He has no right to take out the rest of the tree line. If he cares enough, he can take the few trees down by hand.

[@janeyhazelwood9894]

💯💪 Andris you worked very hard on this clean up job. It looks very nice❤a good scare tactic your neighbor 💩 is using on you to get you to cut your trees. You also have some huge skeeters sucking the blood out of you.😯 your poor children. Great job on this one. Have a good week end.💕

Man, that was certainly one of the most deserved upvotes. Not only for the work you put into all of the firewood, but also for your amazing editing of all the footage and not making the video feel dull or too long. Thanks for sharing!

You are the true one man army in processing firewood! And with all that crates full of wood you have a real fortune there, imagine to buy all that stuff ready made and delivered... 😱 Here in Germany you pay for one bulk meter 180€, so you can calculate how much you would pay for your stacked crates... And this could easily work as a advert video for Scheppach wood splitters, maybe you can send them the link! 🤪 Thx for the effort to film all your hard work! 👍👍👍

[@jeribartels4915]

Super smart fire and trash wood solution. I'm a 55 year old woman, and I was the first female hired by an Oklahoma construction company to do dirt work. My friend got me on, and failed to tell the powers that be, I was a girl named Jeri and not a dude named Jerry 😂.. Best job i ever had. I knew nothing about equipment operation or construction when I started. I drove an articulating dump truck when I started. By the time it was over, I was loading my own dump truck with a Volvo 400 escalator, shooting grade as well as surveying from blue prints. Needless to say, I was much younger then. I love watching your videos and watching you operate the different equipment. Your sense of humor also makes it fun. I miss those days of my life, and I also like the smell of diesel. It smells like accomplishment to me.

Falling trees are an act of God according to my insurance Company and the state of West Virginia.

[@danthefrst]

Great work mate! About trees falling on the solar panels. Check out what it says in your home insurance contract. Or check it with someone who might know. Probably that guy has some kind of insurance that should cover it, but you never know what the laws and stuffy paper work says. The moisture barrier paint has probably worse UV-protection than the tarp barrier. I wouldn't bother with it anyway. You gotta tune that chainsaw carb for sure, has a bad rew up. Anyways. Fun as usual.

[@Ants_Pants]

Thanks

[@edwardreeves6]

Good project you did save woods my gusset will last five years and hi from American

[@Ants_Pants]

[@danielfarkas9565]

Hi Andris! About the trees falling on the neighbor's property: This is not official advice (but I happen to be an insurance broker, and part time farmer - Yeah, that's weird I know...). I'm not familiar with the law in your country, but since we are in the EU it's probably very similar. Here in Hungary, if the tree is dead, rotten or any way compromised (like suspiciously leaning) and it falls to the neighbor's property, then you are liable for it. Normally your property insurance policy would cover it as liability insurance, and pay for it. Although your insurance company could still counter-sue you for the money, after they paid your neighbor, if negligence is provable on your part. Also your neighbor might have a special kind of "legal protection insurance", if he is sneaky (and he might be, if he already threatened you with it). Which means that in case of damage, his insurance company will sue you on his behalf. Trust me you don't want that, insurance companies usually have the most disgusting lawyers working for them. So in short: Don't let dead, rotten or any other way compromised trees, fall on your neighbors property, because you are liable for it, doesn't matter if the trees are there since 200 years, and he built his solar farm last year. On the other hand, if a healthy tree falls on the neighbors property, because of some extreme weather event (for example a very bad storm), then it's unlikely that his claim would stand in court. I suggest to consult with a local lawyer or insurance expert. Don't take this too easily, if your dumb neighbor put expensive equipment (like inverters) into that green shed, and one of your trees crushes it, that could cost you a lot of money.

[@Ants_Pants]

I agree

[@incubatork]

Amazing work, I would have dropped after the first few crates although when I was younger I worked like that, now I'm paying the price and suffering with back and hip problems and need to sit down after half an hour, the fentanile(synthetic morphine) helps. When your younger you think you can move the world, maybe so but you will pay the price at a later date. Slow down so you can still enjoy life when you get older.

Stuff into other stuff. Unbelievable amount of work my friend. This 68 year old lady just sits and watches and marvels at your energy and determination. And then I get up and say to myself, ‘wow, we got sooooo much done today.’ And, ‘my back doesn’t hurt a bit’. Love you Ants. Your videos, the camera placement, the closeups-they’re just superb. It makes feel like I’m right there with you. Supervising the job.😆. About the neighbor: he puts the solar array away from his home and puts it right at you property line. Then wants to take down your trees, that shield your view of it. And spoil the symmetry of that lovely entrance to your property. No!

Here in Australia our local hardware superstore sells what amounts to probably 5%of one of ,your pallets for an exorbitant amout of money, so if you had that much processed firewood here you would be making decent money ,they also do a good business selling bags of sawdust and shavings for gardens and landscaping, the leaves and smaller branches are woodchipped and sold as mulch or added to compost to make garden soil and potting mix , nothing is wasted .
