Well at least you don't have to cut those bushes down now
),,,
we live in the woods on 2 aceres , most of wich are wooded . We had talked about clearing some of the under growth from the woods and i was DREDDING it !!!!! One saterday morning i went out to the brush pile we had been accumulating( if you live in the country EVERY body has a brush pile and burns them regurely ), cleared around it with my small tractor and a box blade ( scraped all the pine needels and stuff away from the pile ) and hosed the edges untill they were TOTALY soaked , and pitched a match in the pile . It went WHOOSH !!!! We had a merry fire , i used the box blade to push the fire to the center and watched for and stray embers untill the pile was reduced to a small smoldering pile of ashes , these i spred and hosed until there was NO smoke comeing from them at all. At this point i went in side to cool down and have lunch.
About 45 minets later my wife said "OH SHIT THE WOODS ARE ON FIRE !!!!!!!!" Under neath the brush pile was a whole butt load of shingles . These F**KING things DON'T go out , they smolder for days and had started the fire all over again . It took us 1-2 hours to put the woods out , but guess what , most of the under growth went up in smoke so i didn't have to clear it
