I have a small electric chain saw but it was only good for the bigger branches, there were a lot of small branches growing in between the electrical lines and they had to come out before the main branches. Theres a hydro pole with a tree wrapped around it that will need to be tied back before I start trimming it up but its not on the city order so it can wait til Saturday.

Auction was lame but I got 2 pieces, 1 is going to be my new sofa table and its unstained so I don't need to strip my other one and can put it back in the office. Spent a whole $30. as I went home early due to a sore back and shoulder.

Sometimes it`s a toss up between the snips and the chainsaw, a lot is determined by my mood at the time.

Some gas and a match would have been a lot easier but not everyone has my sense of efficiency. Lol

Good morning men.

About 12 sticks of dynamite will take care of the branches

A dead auction is good and bad, no one to bid against you but not much to bid on.
Happy Humping day back at you Ian, enjoy the sunshine in BC.

I am enjoying it.
So far we have had good weather and today is sunny and 10 C already at only 8am.

Good morning folks

When I look out the front window I see rain and a grey sky, when I look out the back door I see sunshine coming.

We peaked out at 14 today and had a light rain shower for 10 minutes.
I got the lawn mowed at least.
