We spent our first day of 2010 doing a service project for Brooke's mom.
This tree's roots were penetrating the foundation of her house, and sadly, had to go. Brooke and his brothers spent several hours sawing down the tree limb by limb. The first picture is our before picture.
Brooke ready for the days challenge.
We actually have some video footage of this branch coming down. I'll try to post it.
Making some good progress.
Nearly finished.
The guys figuring out there next move.
Matt taking a hack at it.
The guys looking on from below. Ange was so cute watching his dad and Uncles.
The tree was sad that his life was at it's end.
The finale. Great job guys! Now we have to clear this stuff. We spent several more hours sawing, and clipping logs and branches. Then we moved 3-4 truck loads full to the backyard. Whew! All in two days work!
After.
