The trees are down in the backyard

[nomad100]

in our backyard and holy cow, what a difference it makes.

And yup, both had carpenter ant in the middle. So I am glad we took them down.  The one also had water in the center of it so there was a crack somewhere up in the upper part of the tree.  Not good. 




Of course now we need to get someone in to help get the yard back into shape.  It is a mess from the trucks and the falling wood.  It didn't look great before and now it looks like crap. 

On the plus side, we have lots of wood chips to spread this weekend.
