Moderate Living

I highlighted, 2 posts ago, about how I needed to cut a slew of overhanging branches in my backyard. I was finally able to get to it on Wednesday. I was debating whether or not to use a ladder with the mini arbor saw but out of sheer desire not to lug a ladder, I decided I would just use an extension pole saw.

As with all landscaping and pruning, one almost always underestimates the amount of leaves and grass and branches that actually have to be cut. The end result is that there’s always a big messy pile of stuff that warrants yet another day of cleaning and disposal. But I’d say that’s actually the hard work. The easy work was really cutting the branches off.

For this part of the overall job, I will more than likely hire help. But in the meantime, I know now that I can situate lanterns or maybe even hang string lights for when summer arrives and there’s less winds.
