Timber some trees start to come down

We have two trees on the front of our lot one is completely dead the other is half dead. Both of these trees need to come down before construction starts so today we started the project. Actually my husband started it while I supervised as the chainsaw stuff is all him. I was basically there to call 911 if something went wrong. Never use a chainsaw along if something happens, that person may need to call 911 for you. Always be safe when using chainsaws or any heavy equipment.

So my husband @tecnoblast went to work with the machete cutting back the weeds.

Then he got the chainsaw out and got to work cutting down some of the limbs so hopefully he gets the trees to fall any direction except south.

Shortly after making work of the first part of the dead tree the chainsaw started cutting dull, so we stopped to go get a new chain, sadly they are sold out it will be a day or two before they are in, but they do have a sharping service so for $4 we were able to get the blade sharpened when we got back to the site we realized we need thicker diameter rope to help guide the tree in the right direction. There is a State Road sign in front of those trees but also if those trees fall in the road we are not sure we wouldn't get fined and if it hit a car, that wouldn't be good. So we decided to stop working on that and my husband tackled the Japanese Honeysuckle around this bush.

At this point I started chatting on Steemit.chat through my phone and didn't capture any more photos of the work being done. Sadly the trees are not completely down yet, only 1/2 of one is down. But at least it is a start. Monday we plan to get up early to get over there to finish it up. Today we didn't get over there till around 3 because of our schedule.

My husband goes back to work tomorrow at his day job, so that work is halted till Monday, but tomorrow I have 3 plumbers scheduled to get us an estimate on what it will cost to run the pipes from the house to the water tap. The Water Tap and Tile is going to cost $820 plus the permit cost and they couldn't tell me what they would be.

I need to next get estimates from electricians to install the meter box to the house and run the line to the hook-up, I know the meter box will cost around $500 I had one installed on a house I bought a few years ago, increased the price on that part by $100 and hoping the 25 ft or so the line will have to be ran from won't be too bad. So it won't be much more than $500. We will see and I am hoping my one cousin will do it for the cost of the part and $20-$30to help his cousin out. I am waiting to hear back from him. I reached out, want an estimate from him and hoping it is obviously a family discount but I am gonna be smart and get outside prices too.

Well till next time my steemian friends.
