Chain Saw Massacre

 The title of this post surely got your attention, didn't it?  It was a chain saw massacre, a massacre of trees and large limbs that is.  Ben bought a chain saw to help with the major clean up we had to do in our yard after the snow storm of the century, although I've been hearing that it was actually called "Alfred".  Huh, well, maybe now we'll just refer to it as Snow Storm Alfred.  Anyway, there was a lot to do, and so I caught a few shots of Ben hard at work clearing up the mess.  The picture above, he isn't hard at work, I just made him pose like that for the picture.
 Here he is getting ready to attack the branches along the side of our driveway.  It makes a really loud noise, I did a little video, which I might post at the end of this, just in case you've never heard a chain saw before.  Haha.
 He's hard at work...and right now as I type this he is out there working some more.  Since it is Veteran's Day, he doesn't have to be at work, and can actually get some clean up done while the sun is shining-since it isn't shining by the time he gets home from work.
Hopefully all the clean up will be finished today, and the chain saw can take a break for a long time, hopefully!

  1. I think that picture of Ben is going to give me nightmares. Every time I come back to see if you posted anything new, he is still there as the Chain Saw Massacre guy. It's starting to freak me out! Ha ha ha.

    Anyway, I still can't believe all the trees and branches that came down. We have quite a few big branches dangling high in the trees.
