The Tree Time

 The Halloween tree is gone., As I watched them take it down I counted at least three dead parts in it. I use to be able to cut t house down myself but the tree now is too big for me to handle it. 

 

This is the "after" shot of the area. Maybe I can get some grass growing back there now. It shaded out the whole area and now I can appreciate the corner of the yard. 

 

I watched from a window as the crew demolished it all. They were hard working guys . They tried to cut the parts into large peices so it would cut down on the number of trips they would have to make to get to the frontyard street. It was a soft wood so the chopper cut it all up very quickly. 

 I didn't see how the machine was used but I am thinking it was used to cut the final cut on the base of the tree. Notice the guy in the tree. We also can now see the luxury pool in the niehbore yard if we are in the bedroom window. We never see the area otherwise as the blue spruce blocks the view of their entire backyard. 

 the ad for the company shows that they have men who climb up into the big taller trees to take them down. I saw at one time that he had to cut a branch that extended into the neighbors to the south and he had to catch the end of it and the guy on the ground grabbed parts of it and rolled it back over the fence into my yard. 

 My continuing saga of the water disaster has me taking everything out of the closet to see that more water damage exist. Things on the shelves were not bothered but water from the base of the floor did crawl up the wall making it bad the entire length of the bottom feet of the closet. I will be cutting that drywall out and replacing it. The woodwork is still ok but the drywall is stained and will have to go. I will be running the fan inside that closet for days to get things dry. I had a chest of draws that sits inside the close full of quilts and nothing was hurt inside the draws. The bottom feet of the dresser will need some attention.

 A scene from Silver Bay is going to need some restoration. I don't know what caused the black spots but I will try to remove them. The bay there is sometimes open for the people to be in but in most times the gates are locked. The bay is covered with small pellets of iron ore that must have been spilled in the area over the years while in operation. It is like walking on pellets instead of sand.

It has been a busy day and we did finish off with a nice day with some sunshine.

Thanks for stopping by today.
