Well, the tree is still in the backyard. A bunch of it went to the dump (little twigs & leaves) and some of it is cut and stacked along the back fenceline, but some big parts are still scattered about.
Saturday turned out really nice. Frank loaded up his dad's truck 3 times and we took the brush to the dump. Only 15 dollars to get rid of it all. One guy wanted $600 to take down the tree and dispose of the brush and small branches. The person we went with only wanted $280 to take the tree down but didn't do any disposal. We got rid of the same stuff for only $15. The big parts would have been left behind by both guys.
Sunday Frank went mountain biking with the neighbor across the street and then Jay came over with his chainsaw. Unfortunately both Frank's and Jay's chains were dull. They got through the small stuff, but couldn't get through it all. The local hardware stores had a replacement for Frank, but not for Jay. So, Jay was done for the day, but it was very cool of him to come by. Frank worked on some more tree and stacked what was cut. Frank's folks came over for a short visit, and I did house chores too.
I'm glad you guys had fun at the Pub Run. What happened at Rachael's? I broke down and logged back into Facebook. She mentioned stitches....
No way! I will have to check out facebook. That all happened after I left. I knew Rachael was pretty hammered and she kept holding Logan and waving him around in the air. I thought I would die. So Shawn and I left and went home. I was too tired to stay, though, anyways.
ReplyDeleteYES! She fell and got a cut right along her eyebrow, right above it. No stitches tho, but they glued it. The drama is a bit much these days...
ReplyDeleteShe's starting therapy, so she said, in a couple weeks. Thank goodness. she's hit bottom, pretty much, i think...
Holy Crap! I think I'd be very nervous with her holding my kid too - after hearing about Mary's girl and now Logan being waved around... I so hope the therapy she's chosen will be a good fit for her.
