We have been waiting for weeks and weeks to have stumps, old fence posts, and a dead tree to be removed from our yard. Well Nobody has ever come so last week Mike decided to take care of a few things himself. While I was at church, Bo and Mike pulled the fence posts out and a bush coming up from a root, put all of the stuff on Mike's dads 4-wheeler trailer.
Before we gave the trailer back we wanted to cut the tree down. So last Thursday that's what we did. Here are a few pics on Mike trimming. I had to pull on a rope attached to part of the tree because it was leaning towards the house, and we definitely didn't want it landing on/in the house.
It was one tough tree for being dead. The stump did not want to be cut out, Mike couldn't get low enough and that thing is so solid!!! So we had this stump that will stick up taller than the grass will.... Friday we had an idea that maybe starting it on fire, it would burn down at least a little bit. Well we tried and it took a lot of extra wood to help keep it lit (even using gas), it only burned parts on the outside edges (so much for a good idea right). So these are the pictures of our little fire that night when Mike kept it going so Brooke could roast marshmallows. We only had little ones, those are definately not quite as fun or tasty. But Brooke loved it.
This is of us (or them) roasting mini marshmallows and the fire of the stump (or rather the extra wood trying to keep the stump on fire)
I cannot seem to remember the other camera card with the tree pics so.....
