Busy Summer

It’s been a busy summer at the new house. Fortunately, most of the big chores are complete (for now). As every homeowner knows, the work is never really done. This summer we had three large red oak trees taken down. All three were dead and would eventually come down on their own. But, since they were each about 100 feet tall, it was safer to taken them in a controlled way.

Three Dead Red Oaks
They had to use a crane to prevent damage.
Using a crane to lower logs into a dump truck. Each log weight several thousand pounds.
The empty spot were the trees stood. The stumps were ground and fill dirt added.

It looks so much better without the dead trees. It opens up the lot and really improves the view. The next project was a raised vegetable garden with copper box trellis. I’ll cover that in another blog post.

Thanks for reading!
