Cutting down!

Gabby came over to help Gavin start the tree removal process. They had to first cut all the braches off with a hatchet and hand saw!

Then our wonderful neighbor Mahfuz came over to volunteer his chainsaw and services in cutting down the remaining portion of the tree. He also brought a friend with him to help. It took Gavin and the two of them several hours to cut the tree into pieces. The stump however, remains in place until we can rent a stump grinder.
