timber!!!!

Spread the love.

After the storms we have had lately in MN Jamie decided he needed to get some old, dead trees down in his yard.  He took two down in the backyard and one down in the front yard, all in which in one bad storm could come right down onto the house.Tree removal costs vary depending on where you live, how close the tree is to the house, and how easily accessible it is to get to the tree to take down but is easily thousands of dollars. So Jamie and his dad took on the task themselves. The first picture below is the tree that came down in the front yard.

Cleaning up the tree in the backyard.

I guess we will just need to plant more. Jamie has a few more to take down but is going to wait on those for another day as they aren’t in danger of falling onto the house.
