Trees. They take up a lot of space.

We had 4 trees in front of our house, right on the boundary line, and two of them were close to a drain, and you know the horror stories about roots and drains and repairs.

So MrsPdubyah said they had to go. So they did.

 

Naturally you want to explore your options before taking on a project, and it came down to two Options:

Option (1)

1. I hire a chain saw


2. I cut the branches off


3. Cut the trunk


4. Cut myself


5. Pile up the cuttings


6. Cram cuttings into car


7. Have tantrum


8. Drive to tip


9. Pay some more money


10. Cut myself some more


11. Damage Car


12. Shrug shoulders and wonder how that happened


13. Wash Car


14. Take chainsaw back

Option (2)

1. Ring a man


2. Hire the man


3. Watch man work


4. Listen to Music


5. Pay man


6. Job done.

The stump remover\grinder chap will be here monday to take out the very bottom part of the trees, and a couple bags of soil and some new grass, and then I have enough for a cricket pitch. Just in time for summer. Or a water slide.

The saddest part is how little bulk there is in a tree.
