Busy Weekend

We had all kinds of people over yesterday (Sunday) to take down a huge dead oak tree in the back yard. After a long day of cutting, stacking, hauling, etc, and 10 people fed a steak dinner, we're on our way to having a fair amount of wood for winter. Thanks to Jim, Penny, Steven, Pam, Russ, Mary, Darrel, Scott and Chase for all the help!

Here's some of the video from the actual cutting down of the tree - that part only took 5 minutes from when Rod's step-dad Jim began cutting the notches out to when it fell. The next few hours were spent cutting and splitting. The base of the trunk was 4 Feet across - a huge tree!

Victoria had fun playing with cousins Faith and Chloe, too - they were all exhausted by the day's end. Looking at the pictures, you'd NEVER guess they're related!
