With A Little Help



Gilberto hauled and stacked logs for
two days

 


Antonio worked as steady as the
chain saw that he operated all day
for two days

  


A big job getting those giant stumps out to the truck
but Ron made it look easy

 


Poncho thought this was fun, not work!

 

Jill came up for three days and enjoyed
working with her Dad

   

We had to keep an eye on Miguel as
he wanted to help so badly that we
had to remind him that he is here for
vacation.




Phil removed most of the slash



Ron Mullinex, the hardest working man around, made some time
in his heavy work schedule and hauled away truck loads of slash
and those giant stumps



Gary will work for food, he brings
the wine.

 

Hurray,  Job completed.  We are all tired 
and have sore muscles

    Removing 20 large trees from the property seemed to be an impossible job in the beginning and we could not find workers.  Fortunately, we had some help from friends and family.  Ralph, Susan and Tori were in the mountains for the weekend and gave Phil some help on Sunday morning before going back to Windsor.  As always Gary Gardner gave Phil a hand with the fence (which he helped build) and chain saw problems. Gary is always on call and is a great neighbor. He is one among other wonderful neighbors.  We had the good luck for two workers to call us and made it possible to finished the job off fast.  Antonio and Gilberto were terrific workers and three weeks to the day of the storm, we finished and had the fence back up.
