Monster it was. Heartbreaking too.
Took me two years and many weekends with a chainsaw in my hand. Wore out several jand me down saws. One was a big homelite 400 with a two foot bar. Foto of me wrestling with it.
We had a split fire wood fort. I built it like a maze.
Very cool. I can imagine the work. My shoulders and back are aching from just thinking about it!
