Paul Bunyan


"This tree doesn't have a chance, I can have this down in 15 minutes."


" This is going well, I could do this for a living."


"I really thought this would only take 15 minutes."


"I DID IT!!! Fabulous!!"

November 17, 2007 We have two ficus trees that died after the hard frosts we had last winter. Roy decided today was the day to chop the one in the front yard down. He was going to cut it REALLY low so there wouldn't be a stump. Well, he made good progress and then got stuck for a while. He had an ax, a crowbar, two hammers, a wedge, and the chain saw. The wedge got stuck low in the tree stump and will remain there for eternity=) He didn't get it quite as low as he wanted to but the stump is below the ground and you can't tell where the tree was. Who knows when the one in the back will be felled=)
