Downed trees

Yesterday and today were dedicated to the removal of a pernicious weed. Some people call them Elm trees, but in reality they are simply a very tall version of a truly annoying weed. This particular weed was 50 feet tall, and is now in small pieces and several large piles of brush drying a bit so that it can be shredded into landscaping material.

In truth the tree was weak and rotting and needed to be removed before it fell and damaged things. I would much rather be doing nothing other than working on the inside but it's so much easier to remove a tree while the leaves are not yet leafed out.

It's interesting, it is an odd day at the site when someone doesn't stop by and express their pleasure at us having bought the place. It would seem that the previous tennents had less than desireable habits. Like shooting into the business next door. :)

Ah small towns.
