So much work done yesterday! All of the pine trees are down. My hubby worked his butt off yesterday and a big thanks to our friends who came out to do this big job. I was a little nervous about the wood chipper. The kids helped out by picking up smaller branches and every time they got close to the chipper it made my heart skip a beat! But the job is done and no fingers, toes or other limbs lost.


The neighbour across the street (the white house you see in background) started yelling at the guys while they were working. My hubby finally went over to see what she wanted. Keep in mind, most of the guys helping work with my hubby and they were all wearing their orange sweaters. The woman asked him if they were cutting all of the trees down, she said "I know you're just the contractors but have you been told to cut ALL of the trees down?" My hubby played along at first and said No we aren't cutting them all down. She proceeded to say "I hope not, that would just be ridiculous!". That is when he told her "well, not all of the trees are coming down, just the ones that are a nuisance, and by the way I am the homeowner". LOL, I wish I could have seen her face. She said they loved the Silver Maples at the end of the lot, which are the ones that we are keeping, I love those trees too. He told her they were not going to be coming down. Then I guess she tried to make small talk about some of the neighbours. I hope we don't end up with too many meddling neighbours.

Well tomorrow is the Council meeting and we find out if we get the ok to demolish and start construction! We are going to attend, and keep our fingers crossed.
