Tree Pandemonium


Before...

During...we had to block the windows with ladders so they wouldn't get damaged by the falling branches.


After...well at least one of them


Last Saturday Trent's dad asked us to help cut down these two HUGE willow trees in his backyard. We had two chainsaws going full steam on this sucker! Luckily noone was seriously injured by the danger of falling branches that were the size of small trees themselves or by the aformentioned chainsaws as they were cutting through wood like a knife through hot butter.


It took two very large loads to the dump to rid the yard of all the tree's fallen pieces. We even received the assistance of Rick's innocent neighbors in cleaning up and hauling away the remains off of their own property because of the enormity of these things! It really was a fun and exhausting project.

We got a little carried away and cut down some of his apple tree too ;)
