Cutting Down Trees & making room for the Cabin

Saturday was a productive day.  New friends Tim and Dave brought there boys down to Copalis Beach and cut down 7 Alders.  Very hard work, and I am most thankful for their time and effort on  my project.  I had no idea how much work it takes to remove a tree.  the wind was blowing hard, and one of the trees got stuck in another tree, and failed to fall.  Just stood there….waying in the wind.  The men made several cuts into the tree, allowed the wind blow, and then tied a long rope to the lower section and tugged.  Just this motion got the snag off the stump and it fell.
