Backyard Makeover Episode 2: Toppling Trees and Burning Brush

Alright, so glad you all joined me for Episode 2 of Backyard Makeover. Our next object after we had dug the holes and cemented the poles, was to cut down the remaining dead, or deadish trees in a faster, safer and more efficient manner than the way that you saw in the "Backyard Makeover Update"

So our good friend Mr. Reiche came over with his handy saw and spent most of the day out back sawing away at the trees.


"Timber"!! This is the leaning tree of Sauve.

While Mr. Rieche worked on the trees, Josiah took our faithful Lawn Mower and went back and forth, back and forth along the path, sometimes chopping sometimes just flattening the grass.


Havin' lots of fun!!


After dispatching the trees, Mr. Reiche proceeded to clear the brush and branches away.


The beautiful horizon, free of dead trees.


Here I am sitting on the remains of our largest tree.


At the end of the day we had a nice pile of fire wood for our camp fire...


...plus lots of brush and grass that we burned right away.
We are very thankful to God for keeping us safe so far and blessing our efforts as we fix up our back acre.
Now don't hold your breath for the following post, because the next project will be digging the pond and I have a feeling that its going to take a while to get to that point.

~until then this is Chs signing off from the Backyard Makeover.
