Progress

Three cheers for Daniel and his two chainsaws!!

Kevin and Daniel made short work of cutting up the tree. Daniel sawed and Kevin moved the cuttings out of the way. They finished cutting the tree into pieces in a little over an hour. Now Kevin just has to haul it all to the curb.

You can see past our patio now!!

And you can see the first floor!

We loaded some branch parts into the back of the Escape (which I thoroughly tarped to protect from pine sap) to take to our neighborhood assigned mulch day tomorrow.

And for the record, Kevin says that the tree was 22 years old. He saved a slice to make a clock (that he thankfully is planning on hanging in the garage).
