These pine trees were sooooo tall!!! Every time we had a storm, we were afraid one would fall on our house. We used to have a nice sodded back yard, but the roots from these giant trees destroyed our back yard. Drew dug up several roots for us last week, oh yeah, and chopped our cable wire, lol! (Alex isn't in these pictures because thses were taken the day after when they began chopping up the trees they had dropped the day before and Alex was out of town.) It will take them a while to get all these trees chopped up into firewood. I told them they could chop them up into firewood and make even more money! This is the perfect time of year to sell firewood! Wish I had thought to get pictures when they were chopping down the trees the day before. They were so funny with their goggles and the girls pink bike helmets on their heads. They used a zip line to pull the trees the way they wanted them to fall. Lumberjack Tyler said he used to cut trees down on the golf course when he worked there, and knew what he was doing. (although there are no houses around to worry about falling on!) They did great on 5 trees, but the 6th one was tricky... it was leaning toward the house. It didn't fall where they wanted it, but at least it didn't fall on our house, Marylou's house, or Marylou's beautiful garden with a cedar fence around it! Whew!!!
