Timber!

So as you can see we have a ton of trees in our yard and surrounding area. Well, there were a few that posed a threat to the house, so we had them removed. We had Chris Glynn Tree come out and remove them. If you have never seen trees being removed, I highly recommend it, it is one of the coolest things I have ever seen (I am the girl who is mesmerized by all the heavy machinery at a construction site). Last summer our neighbors had some trees removed and we spent the entire day in the cul-de-sac watching, it is quite the site.

I think we had a total of 9 trees removed, we did end up with a lot of firewood for next winter and a ton of wood chips.
