December 5th
An ornament from Alaska. We visited there in 2007.

Yesterday 5 trees were removed and totally shredded chipped. Quite an operation with one guy in the bucket trimming the trees then cutting off sections from the top down. Two others on the ground gathered the cut pieces and put them in the shredder chipper.

After view this morning.
See the bucket?
Cutting off the stumps.
That whole trunk will go in the shredder chipper.
After - view this morning.
Vicki asked if we'd be planting anything else there. The trees were on our neighbors property and an threat for both our houses. I don't believe our neighbor will replant. There are some small hemlocks that she should keep topped to make a hedge.
I plan to plant shade plants on my side of the line along our driveway to try to keep the weeds out.

The thermometer is reading 0º this morning.
I'm off this morning on errands, a bit of Christmas shopping and an over due haircut.
...that's one heavy duty chipper!
ReplyDeleteA good tree trimming/cutting team is amazing to watch.
ReplyDeleteWe were 0 this morning also. We have kept the woodstove humming and I have done things here. Going out for festival of trees later.
