I still haven't found those pics, but I have some pics of fenceline preparation work. Here you see me turning a freshly pulled down douglas fir tree into a long improvised root/anchor to keep the clay slope from sliding off down the slope when wet in spring thaw. I had to delimb, decrown and shorten the tree to the right length to fit in the space I wanted it, then backfill over it with the backhoe. The whole tree got buried in two sections, these pictures just show the top being processed, the whole tree was about 70' long to start.

Backfill, you can see the rootball from the bottom half close to bottom of pic and the slope I am trying to keep from mudsliding in spring.
