Here are the original pictures from when we purchased the lot
Last fall we didn't quite get all of the box elder trees cut down before the snow fell. Now with most of the snow melting we were excited to get back up there and get the rest of the trees cut down. Kerry was so wonderful and came to help.
Liam was a mess and didn't want to cooperate in the least. He hated how loud the chainsaw was and just wanted to be held. Gracie and Em pretended to help but Im not really sure how much they actually did. Hallie however was a great help.
I was grateful when Liam's nap time came and I took him and the 2 middle girls home while Matt, Kerry, and Hallie finished up.
Matt and I left the lot that day frustrated more than anything. As we had finished up the box elder trees we got into the hawthorns and we knew pretty quickly that it was more than what we were capable of doing. The trees are more like bushes and are very difficult to separate unless you cut the whole bush at once. Then on top of that the branches are covered in thorns...that poke thru your gloves. So we are back to the drawing board on how we can get the tree out of there without it costing a fortune. I do think we should be proud of the trees we have cut down and it has given us something to do. Now to rent a chipper.
