Cleaning up the homestead after the winter of 2015

Before we can sell the house, there is a whole lot to be done first!  Today's project was to cut down some trees next to our pool that have been dieing for quite awhile and the heavy snowfall this winter started their downward trajectory.

We bought a used Craftsman chainsaw for $50 from a guy who fixes chainsaws and today was its inauguration!  For anyone who lives in CT, you will understand that this whole project involved pilling down lots of bittersweet vines but that was a whole lot easier to do before their sap started running.

The whole thing was a success..no injuries, no broken saw, no broken neighbor's fence...maybe more tomorrow afternoon once the rain stops.
