So far only some ferns have been removed by lucky Craigslist readers, so we have a little more to get out of the way!

Pat, our master tree faller, starts to work on that double tree you can see in the middle of the photo above...
Pat has the first half of the double tree down and Steve has started on the old stumps in the middle
A cable tensioned by the bulldozer helps put the trees EXACTLY where he wants them to fall
Look at that! Yes, he expected it to fall that close to the dozer, which he was sitting in (pulling) when the tree came down. It scared us, watching from above
Five trees missing from the area now (the stump of the double tree visible through the cab of the excavator), and Steve has been busy with the mini excavator looking for the existing sewer lines and septic tank
The big ones of this stand would be too close to the new addition
View from the East Northeast on day one of clearing
Found the septic tank, line fromt he house and the crazy 90 degree turns where they plumbed in the current house to the old system. gotta get rid of those!
