Trees Trimmed...40º

The day warmed up, no rain fell and the wind stayed away...Now our trees look naked going into winter...9am the big truck and 5 guys arrived...Eric refreshed his memory as to exactly what trees we wanted trimmed and they went to work...Off and on all day we saw 2 guys geared up, safety harness and rigging on, climbing the trees to hand trim, after 1 guy in the "bucket" had all the big limbs sectioned and on the ground...The other worker was on the ground cleaning and stacking limbs to go into the chipper...Eric was on the ground, up a tree, on the cell phone, then he left for a couple of hours, returned to check on his crew, before accepting our check in payment...2 workers and the big truck were left behind to finish the last tree...Finally shortly after 4pm, after every limb and twig was cleaned up, they climbed into the big truck and called it a day...Only for brief times during the day had they been idle, lunch break was 1/2 hour...It is not cheap to have your trees trimmed but we feel that it was money well spent and they returned our thanks with, "Thank you for the work."  They will be back in January/February to "groom" our fruit trees and we highly recommend "Sinclair Brothers" for your tree trimming services.

Herb and I kept busy in the house, managed to stay near a window so we could watch all the action while still cleaning...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
