We've had a great year. Last weekend we celebrated our 1st anniversary. Our "paper"gift was passing papers on this house. It's a fixer upper. Our first order of business was removing some large trees that were threatening the building. Friday, Marston Tree Removal brought the crane in- to remove the tree growing in the corner of the house. One tree guy said "that there's what we call a girthy one". The crane hoisted the larges section over the house. It weighed 13,000 pounds. The limb that was touching the house, weighed 6000 pounds. Erik and I have much wood to chop.
We have our work cut out for us, but it is a good feeling. We have started ripping apart the interior of the "great room". Yesterday, I moved all the bucked wood to the back of the house, next to the wood shed. Raked up the oak leaves, swept the driveway, and stacked wood that had been chopped. Our neighbor was enthused by the sunny weather and we worked alongside each other dragging oak leaves to a pile in our back yards. Bartlett was such a big help- she followed each trip I made, carried a frisbee for about 2 hours, rolled in the dry dirt, and barked at me when she had enough. It was nice to have a faithful companion.
