well,.... we have been delayed putting up the Trusses due to lack of help. These are pretty large and from what I hear, hard to handle. With us doing this project ourself, we need to wait until we can get the right people to help direct us. Hopefully next weekend they will go up.
So... since we had some time on our hands... we trimmed up some of the tress that we left standing, we raised the ceiling of of the back yard to about 20ft or so.
Then had to haul away a few more trailer fulls of brush...
Dad decided use the old International to push the trailer to the brush dump
And... here was a costly mistake...
we took down all those trees a few months ago, but we left one 80ft Red Oak that sat on the property line... who knows why... I think we were just too tired and convinced ourselves it was ok where it was.
Well... after further inspection and seeing how TALL my place is actually going to be, we decided that this tree neeeeeds to come down. WELL... now my building is 8ft from it and already 12ft in the air. So it was a project that we could no longer handle. We had a local guy come out and bid to take it down. It was definitely sticker shock when I heard the number... but I think it was a fair price and had to be done.
