Tree Felling

It's always disappointing to take trees down but sometimes it has got to be done. This weekend was a weekend of trying to get a grip on the over-growing back garden at Carnhill. The 40' tall Silver Birch was sited right at the corner of the new extension so it had to come down. About a third of the garden was hidden from view behind trees and shrubs which had to come down. And the hideous monstrosity that was the hydrangea was removed much to my delight - I hate those things!

The garden now seems really quite large now that there has been a bit of a clearance but it also highlighted that there is at least another week's work in the clearance process! Trees may have been felled, but they haven't been removed. I need a skip to arrive on Monday to help with that process.

Also, there are old wooden sheds that are falling to pieces which need demolished and taken away.

Thankfully, my brother has stepped into the breach to help with the clearance process. This will speed up progress dramatically.

This Week
This week will be a relatively busy week:

• Garden clearance continues
• Garage contents to be sold
• Meetings with solicitor & architect (hopefully)

I'm away in Donegal next weekend - fishing! Bad timing I'm afraid as it seems there is still a lot to be done.
