Have your parents, your sister or your friends on standby with a warm shower or a cozy bed.
They used a cherry picker to remove all the smaller branches from up top.. Then they had this super tall boom truck crane thing to hold on to the larger pieces as they removed them so they could be set down in a controlled way.It really was super impressive!
I don’t know if you can tell from this picture but that was a huuuge branch!.It really only took them about 2 hours to completely remove that tree, wood and all, from our property..When all that was left was a stump, we had another guy come in with a stump grinder and grind it all down to a pile of wood chips..
I actually kinda liked the giant stump there, but Chris was worried about it being too hard to cut around when he’s mowing the lawn..So that was our tree cutting adventure!
It cost us about $1600 to have it removed completely so it definitely wasn’t cheap, and it wasn’t the funnest $1600 to spend on our house, but I definitely appreciate not having to feel so terrified of it falling on my bedroom every time there’s a wind storm!We’re pretty big on traditions in our little family, especially during this time of year.
We have some traditions that go back ten years to when Kennedy was just a little baby and we lived in a tiny one-bedroom apartment, and then lots of others that we’ve picked up along the way.Why not just give them a quick swipe with the vacuum and rest assured that they can still go awhile longer without needing to go through the whole washing and ironing routine?.
I know I said that these ideas would be “besides the obvious” and using a vacuum on your floors definitely counts as obvious, but I really do have to tell you how much cleaner my floors are now.I vacuum all the time!
I vacuum on a whim!I vacuum just cause it’s there!
