If a tree falls and the video camera is off, does it still make a noise?

We needed to take a tree down. The tree itself was in rough shape.
It has two tops and some dead spots.
It also happens to be where we want to put a pool.


Beau went out to help Daddy.

Mmmm… maybe not.

Daddy got on his hard hat. Isn’t it cool? Not too Bob-the-Builder-y.

More like Garth Brooks with power tools.

After sitting poised for almost an hour with a dying video camera battery and the camera, the tree came down whist I was unprepared. Seriously. One minute prior, JB was hanging onto a branch, swinging, trying to see if it would give. Then he shrugged. Made a simple cut and down it came.

“Now look at the mess I made,” said JB.
