Yep... honest truth and my trees are planted backyard trees.
The permit application fee is $355 (Use to be $50)
http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/pwa/documents/report/oak041832.pdf
Photograph or site plan/sketch must be submitted.
All nearby property owners notified by mail and notices posted with instructions of how protest at public hearing.
The real upshot is people leave dead and diseased trees until they topple over and a lot of proactive tree removal for safety no longer happens.

I can't recall which city but when I was out west I saw postings about a public hearing to take down a sidewalk tree to facilitate a wreck of a building being torn down and a new building being put up. But having a public hearing about a tree being taken down on private property? I wouldn't have been able to hold back asking anyone objecting to help pay my property tax.

It wasn't always this way but with each new year comes new laws.
New homes are prohibited from wood burning and existing severely curtailed. Most wood suitable for firewood goes to the chippers.

Re: Big Tree Small Contractor...a risky business
Hi GaProperty,
I was loving the viddy-yo, but then some old guy used up almost half of it playing a string-boxy thing :confused2:-
Just kidding
and a little more than a little jealous- I tried to learn guitar, but was told by several instructors that I had no aptitude despite years of hard work.
Can I ask where you sourced that capstan winch/crane on your trailer? :thumbsup:
My old HF truck crane is getting old and rusty, and I might be needing a newer and [especially] better one soon.
As to birch- it might not be the best firewood, but I love the smell of it burning, and as we brought in the logs this past winter [we had a bunch of it left over from the big birch tree we cut down a couple of years ago], I peeled off as much of the loose bark as I could, and put it in out kindling/tinder box to use in starting fires for the rest of the winter- both because it worked so well to start fires and also because it made them smell so good as the stove heated up.

Here's my firewood tractor at work, loading this walnut,
on my BSM and then I opened it up,
WOW, pretty nice log, so I took some wide 5/4 flitches off, turning the log until I had all the slabs off,
Once I went all the way around, I switched to taking 8/4 boards off and stacking them out of the way,
until I had a total of nine 8/4 boards, 17 inches wide!
NOW, that's what I call some NICE walnut lumber!!
oooooh, and I did get the several 5/4 flitches too!

How long do you think you are going to have to let that dry before you can use it?

I think we've been over this.
Posting that kind of **** is both rude and likely a violation of TBN rules! Your fine/punishment shall be to forfeit the offending **** to me. Including delivery to New Hampshire.
