:D :D :D :D
This time of year.....I REALLY like that idea!
Lots of benefits there - No leaves to rake & if you tree a coon there, what an easy shot! :D
NICE I like it!
Jeff,
All you would have to do is slab those up and you would have siding for your house that would match without a finish. ;D
I planted several deadwood locust trees along our field for bluebirds and pheobies to perch on. The nieghbor asked why they didn't grow. Well due to the lack of bark and the cement root ball I guess they never had a chance. We still laugh about that one. They looked just like these. Thanks Reid
Reminds me of when I went for a ride with my sister and brother-in-law. Lynda looked out across this beautiful golden crop on this huge field. She said "thats so lovely, what is it?" Pete and I in the same breath said, "Roundup" :D
I liked the look of them except for the cement at the base.
I don't know why they didn't set them deeper unless the frost brought them up.
That place is up for sale as well.
Is that on the St. Marys? Looks like there might be more water then that though.
you could allways mulch them see-ment root balls.
Jeff;
It's situated on Lake Superior about an hour north and a tad West of the Sault.
I wonder if they know their house is being discussed by all of us? I bet they would be worried someone will show up with a chainsaw and a sawmill and harvest those trees that need to be processesed... ;D
It would be a good gag to drive up with a WoodMizer and ask if they want you to saw them up for them. :D
I'll have to take a drive one day to Cadillac and get a photo of what some folks did up there. They had some trees dug out, root ball and all. Power washed the root ball, cut the trunks off and then replanted the trees root ball up. Kinda surreal looking for sure.
Gee, Jeff, that is a great idea. I have several of them around here that could marketed that way. ;D
No raking .................. 8)
I like the no raking thing. ;D ;D ;D

When I was a kid a small tornado ripped up several trees in our woods, spruce with long lateral roots.
Dad trimmed them up and planted them upside-down at random in the yard. One was blue,one green ,one red and a yellow.
Yep, we were wierd alright 8) 8)
