6/4/22 Fangorn Sycamore Clean Up

 Yesterday, Friday the 3rd, we had someone come out and cut down a sycamore tree that was right in the middle of where the driveway needed to go. Sad to see it go, but it had to be done. Today we headed out and got going about 9am. Here are a few progress shots and videos in case you're interested.

Bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Learning new skills

Jack reeeeeally wanted to drive. Jordan said he has to learn on different equipment first.

Thankful to Jordans dad for the use of the Bobcat, major help there.

We're not sure what we can do with these logs, but we'd like to incorporate them into the house somehow. Probably as shelves. The wood isn't too strong. Any ideas?

Pollen. Only reason we quit when we did. We were all sneezing and coughing and just miserable. Definitely need to find a stronger allergy pill and some masks as well. 

End of the day, about 3.5 hours. The boys were good workers, really pushed themselves. Carls toes were saved by wearing boots and that's something to be thankful for.

Got the stumps up and stacked the sycamore limbs.

I didn't take too many pictures. Trying to pull my own weight and also keep the boys motivated is a rather consuming task. Hoping the more they work the easier it'll get. We'll see.
