Chainsaw symphony
After Monday's snow dropped one of our maples on Route 366, the Varna Volunteer Fire Company quickly cut away the pieces blocking the road. That left me, though, with a big chunk of maple on a steep hill that was still obscuring my ability to see when turning out of my driveway.
Maple tree down.
Fortunately, S & S Tree Service, of Etna, came by Monday to take a look and yesterday to do the cutting.
Cutting the tree into smaller logs.
Four guys with chainsaws and a huge shredder made short work of the maple, and then reduced the strain on a large but slightly sick butternut tree.
Up in the butternut tree to remove a few limbs.
They even cleared away a brush pile next to the driveway and the road that I'd been moving slowly uphill, removing a badly-placed eyesore quickly. Now I just need to plant that freshly-cleared area and move these logs to dry. Once the logs are moved, I need to call Whitmore about fixing the fence.
I've posted a gallery of photos of the work, if you're curious and want to see more.
