The day after we the exterminator came we invited my brother and brother in law over to help us chop trees. We rented a chain saw and the boys got to work while my sister and i made a trip to the store to get rope and safety goggles. She was super tired seeing as she had run the half marathon (and beat her previous time by 15 min) that morning and was having pain in her foot she watched mall cop with the nephew and niece while i made sure the boys didn't chop any limbs off . I told the boys if they helped i would buy them lunch so we bought pizza, Gatorade, mountain dew (Jared was happy) and Swiss rolls. They got more done in 4 and a half hours then i thought they would, and chopped down 5 trees one of them counted as two because it was so big that we needed to be cut into 4s to get it to even move from where it was!! Now we are stuck with a huge pile of sticks in our front yard that is about as tall as our house and takes up the whole front yard, if you know of any one that needs fire wood or knows of a cheep way to get rid of it let us know asap!!! Thank you Kamrin and Jared we could not have done it with out you! Also thank you to Landis who helped for awhile ( he also ran that morning and beet his previous time by 25 min) and Jaydan and Maddie you helped keep Shaless and gran entertained. And Connor well he was there i think he moved two branches for us
This is our tree pile that is our neighbors house in the back round.
Shaless asked me to give her some ice so she could ice down her foot that was bothering her, and all the sudden Jaydan and Maddies feet both hurt to so they needed some ice to.
This is the tree that took Travis all day by him self to get started and took 10 min to finish with the help of my brothers and the rope. I couldn't watch for too Long he is super high up there not strapped to the tree and sawing while they are tugging on it with a rope!!
The top part is finally down i can breath again!!
Before....
After!!! It looks a lot bigger now!! The last tree is in the power line they were all afraid to take it down and said to get professianal to do it.
