Some more tidbits from my end: Super sawsall (thanks Dad) and chipper shredder (thanks Mom) easily allowed for us to take out Hideous tree #1.

Chipper shredder had been sitting idle for a couple of years and had a cracked fuel line that I quickly noticed when I put gas in it. Luckily I was able to live up to my blog name and cut the line below the crack and re-attach it.

Big thanks to Matt's mom for taking a truckload of "treasures". You guys are welcome back whenever.
