The day started kind of slow, just because it was raining and overcast - clearly we were a little spoiled with all the sunshine we'd been having.
So we were just going around filling in nails and it was a bit monotonous. THEN, I noticed that Andrew was making preparations to cut a tree down that was near the house...count me in. I went down to start helping, and then John came over and we were quite the tree-cutting tandem. It was freaking awesome. We dominated this tree with just a circ-saw and an ax. It was so awesome to climb all the way up and shake the branches till we could leverage them off. For the biggest ones, I climbed up with a rope, tied it, and threw it down to John, who pulled it the falling branches away from the house. We were so manly.
We took the tree down in about 90 minutes. And then the afternoon was spend digging around the stump to try and breakthrough the roots. It was painfully slow. There were too many stinkin' roots, making the dig very difficult.
It's 6:45, Saturday morning. Today is our last day of work. I've finally caught up with these posts. Can't believe it's been a week. Gotta go get ready to dig out that stump. More to come later...
