Here is a pic I took over the weekend. Jamie is in competition with the eucalyptus trees. He is trying to keep them trimmed back (unfortunately he can only get about 20 feet high with all his different contraptions) and keep the leaves off the ground. I think the tree is winning. No, correct that, I know the trees are winning. That's the biggest problem, there are 4 of them and they are about 3 times taller than they should be. We checked into cutting them down to size (they could eb dangerous to our roof come some strong winds) but the bid was $3500, needless to say we didn't jump on getting that done. Instead Jamie bought a bow saw for his birthday and keeps hacking away one big branch at a time. A good thing will be all the great smelling eucalyptus wood in the pot belly stove this winter! On Saturday he had cut down a big branch and wanted to climb on the roof to get some that were hanging over our bedroom. That was fine but the real pain was going to be cutting the branches up for the bins so we went out and bought him a chainsaw. Don't worry I made him promise to NEVER use it while on a ladder! I know he wants to start climbing the trees and cutting away!
