Wood Cutting at the Woods’

Today we went to help Walt and Dena cut up and move out the last of the big trees that fell on their property. It was a pretty big bugger and it took a whole lotta chainsawin’, maul swinging, lifting and rollin’… But we finally did it!!!

We all worked real hard but I have to say that I am fairly certain that Will has never worked so hard in all his life and he has the blisters and sore arms to prove it!!! Chris and I were so proud we took everyone out to ice cream to celebrate!

Even Maximus did a good job… (he didn’t actually do any work but he was a very well behaved lumber jack puppy)
