Heavy duty gardening tending

Helping out my father in law doing some gardening tending. We needed to cut down the old birch shown in the picture below since it was dead and could fall down anytime.

My oldest son watching it safely from a distance, sitting inside the New Holland.

First needed to cut down a small birch.

Then the large one. Had the wire rope attached high up in the tree, so when I had prepared the undercut my father in law just tightened the rope a bit, and the tree fell down. Notice that quite a lot of the branches just snapped of when the tree hit the ground, proving that the whole tree was pretty dead.

Cutting another tree to pieces, got both chainsaws stuck (fu#¤!!)

But, no problemo, having the right equipment nearby…

Discussing stairs

Discussing stairs at work, Youtube to the rescue when I tried to describe unnecessary use of stairs, no better example than Fawlty Towers , the extra stairs on first floor.

Basil and Manuel at their best…

Snow slede mishap

Wanted to show off for my oldest son, so I started on the top – about 10 meters straight down, then turning slightly to the right. Did not happen, to fast and I dived head first into the snow. But at least I got to impress my son.

Took the picture just after spending about a minute to get rid of all the snow in my face and down in my neck.
