By late September, the project needed a boost. So my husband and son came out to help and to cut down the dead trees at the entrance and one that was planted too close to the house. That one rattled the roof in the wind, and the roots threatened the front foundation. It had to go.
My son also hauled all the studs out to the garage and then took out all the nails! That was a long boring job. He got a little help but did it mostly himself. So nice to get the help!
Dead tree removal
Dragging branches to pile
Tree too close to house
Firewood for the future
Extra time left to remove lights
It was just a few days of help but it made a huge difference.
