All the trees that have to go are pines, and he said I can sell them for lumber. I liked the sound of that &#8212; revenue off the trees, which I don&#8217;t want anyway. I&#8217;d like to get rid of pretty much all the pines and give the entire five acres over to hardwood. The septic tank guy recommended a timber guy, and I&#8217;m hoping to meet with the timber guy tomorrow. I&#8217;m not expecting to get much for the trees &#8212; maybe a few hundred dollars. But at least I won&#8217;t have to pay somebody to take them away. Now the stumps, that&#8217;s a different story. Getting rid of the stumps will cost me, but if getting ridding of the trees is actually revenue rather than cost, I should still be well within budget for clearing trees for the house and septic tank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The woods looked mighty fine in the snow this morning.
