| I received a call from a friend wanting to know if I had any Boy Scouts needing to earn summer camp money. Always! He needed a large tree cut down and hauled away because it developed a large crack and was in danger of falling. So I rounded up a few boys last Saturday morning, including K7 and K8. |
 |
| I took pictures and did the heavy work. |
 |
| Filled the back of this one-ton truck with the cut-up tree trunk. |
 |
| You can see by the large round stump that it was a big tree, but the boys used teamwork and brains to conquer the job. |
 |
| Got all the trunk and branches into two trucks and headed for the city dump. |
 |
| Two boys unloaded my truck while... |
 |
| ...K7 and a few others unloaded the bigger truck. A lot easier coming out than going in. |
 |
| Raked up the little stuff, and... |
 |
| ...it looked pretty good when we were finished after 2 1/2 hours. The boys each earned a good chunk of money toward next year's camp. |
 |
| Last stop was to our burn pile to shovel out the sawdust and little bits. |
Looks like a lot of hard work! Did they need the tree gone? Or did they just want it gone? That is A LOT of wood!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Good job! That's a lot of work for a long period of time . . . But I bet it felt great to hold money in your hands afterwards . . . lol
