The trees are gone...

The trees are gone...  The big trees planted right next to the house, that is.  Debbie and I took the last one – the biggest – down yesterday afternoon.  Its trunk was roughly oval at the bottom, 14" by 11", so there was quite a bit of wood in it.  I sure was glad to have a chainsaw for that one :)  After we cut it all up and loaded it onto my pickup, we had a pile of debris occupying roughly 3 cubic yards, quite compressed – more than the other two trees combined...

This changed the appearance of the front of the house considerably.  It also opened up several south-facing windows, so the house should be considerably brighter now on a fine day...
