We have quite a big project going on right now. Actually, several projects. There was a grove of hemlock trees behind our house that we have cut down. There were several things that prompted this. The hemlock grove was between the house and the barns. During the winter, the grove of trees kept things so shaded that ice and snow never seemed to melt. This made it nearly impossible to get my horse trailer in and out during the winter. So, with the trees gone, I will have a lot more rooms to park the trailer and should be able go get in and out through the winter.
The back yard before cutting the trees. (2004)
The back yard after the trees were cut. Geesh, I'll need to plants some shrubs by the house now, it looks so naked with the trees gone!
We had someone come in with a portable saw mill as we are also going to be building a barn and we needed the lumber for that.
