This weekend Chris and I learned a lot about trees. In particular, how they fall, where they land and most funnest of all, how to cut them up with a chainsaw.
We went up to the cottage on Thursday night after work......lots of yawning as we pulled into our driveway just before midnight.
Friday we puttered around marvelling at our new kitchen that's now installed. It's beautiful and seems so much brighter and bigger! Went to our fave pub for lunch and to the dump, just for fun. Actually we dropped off our 2 loveseats only to see them being picked up even before we left "the mall" as it's called around town.
Saturday morning Chris's parents arrived with chainsaw in hand and egg sandwiches. hmm...do we eat now? Ha! Too much logging to do first!
Because of the pine beetle a lot of trees have to come down which is very sad. Good thing Slim Jim knows how to work a chainsaw 'cuz he took down a whole lot of them. We have a bunch of old sheds that need to come down and we kept telling him, "Don't worry about the sheds if you hit one, needs to come down anyways" Did he listen? Nooo....missed every one of them. Missed the cottage, missed the hydro lines, daggum missed all of them, just put them all on the ground where we sawed the branches off and piled up the logs. We're such good loggers.
Anyways...wish I had brought the camera. Just to see the big girls run like the dickens when the trees started coming down. Picture it for yourself. Too funny.
But we're thankful for the great weather as in all sunshine and no wind, nobody got hurt and no sheds were harmed in the exercise. Hopefully next time we can take out at least one of them.
