So the recent storms motivated me to get to work on clearing out the cluster of tree in the back yard that would plow through our living room if they were to fall. A very tricky chainsaw cut for sure, one mis-cut or improper angle and the trees would go right through the living room. All done with a beefcake electric chainsaw I ordered last year.

Storm shelter dig is also coming along, though slowly, having to bust through sandstone for every single inch. Pick axe for ten mins, shovel for five, repeat for 3 hours, an inch gained!
