Not a chance. We were up early and up to Stuart's to give him a hand with some more things at his new house. First on the list was removing a couple of juniper trees in front of the house. I sawed all the lower limbs off so they could get at the roots and try to pull the trees out. Here are the boys working on the pulling aspect.
When that didn't work they tied a rope onto the hitch on the truck and tried to pull. Oops the rope broke. They tried a different kind of rope. Oops that one broke also. So they got the spade and started doing more chopping.
But they persevered and finally got the trees out, tied up and ready for the yard waste pick up. Looks good!!
Heajin made us lunch before she left for work. After lunch we worked on getting a bunch of Jennifer's stuff that Stu is currently storing up into the loft in the garage and making some room in there. We have a bunch of her stuff in our garage also that will, at some point, end up in Stu's if she doesn't manage to collect it. The boys rigged up a pulley system to pull up the canoe in the garage. Tom got the grass cut and I cleaned up some more of the back yard.
The people next door were just cleaning out their house that they recently sold. They gave Stu a nice wrought iron patio set that they did not want to move. Also said they were taking a load to the dump later this week and he was welcome to toss any of his junk on their driveway and they would take it also. Perfect!! He was able to get rid of a bunch of old lumber and crap that was left in his back yard. Bonus!! So nice of them.
We finished up at close to 6 pm and headed for home. A cold relaxing drink on the deck and dinner. We are tired!! But I am sure we will do this again, they have lots of work to get done and we do love a project.
Until next time - safe travels.
