Wish we had taken before and after pix of this (what good is a blog without lots of before/after pix anyway?!??!). When they cut the trees for the garage footprint we had some debate about what to do with the logs. A friend said he wanted the wood for firewood, so we asked Karl to leave the cut trees for us to dispose of.
They left ALL of it -- logs, branches, twigs, leaves -- in a huge pile of debris the size of a house! We spent the weekend feeding branches as big as 6" diameter into a chipper that ate them as fast as we could shove 'em in. Saved us some cash, but we've realized we may be a bit old for that kind of manual labor. We got it DONE though! There's nothing left but one more load of firewood, and two big logs that we'll split ourselves and maybe keep or give to neighbors.
We'll tackle walking, bending over, grasping things with sore hands in a couple of days, after some much needed rest and ibuprofen.
Oh my! I would settle for a picture of two exhausted folks! :)
