More Tree Branches

Friday night, we were riding along Interstate 75 and noticed that grandfather oaks, pines, and all kinds of trees along the sides of the road were being cut down and put into a giant mulcher. There were mountains of mulch and pile after pile of trees for miles. We just couldn't bear to see all those tree branches that were perfect for our treehouse being mulched up. So Saturday afternoon we came back with truck and chain saw in hand to salvage a few branches.

I climbed up on the tree pile and cut the choice branches loose from the tangled ones letting them fall to the ground. Then Royce would cut them to a size so we could handle and load them into the truck. We need to replace a few of the branches on the treehouse railing that are not too sturdy and these branches are perfect for the task.

We found a lot of larger branches to use for the posts to support the treehouse roof so we cut them and hauled them back to the treehouse also.

We got quite a haul and the job wore us out. We will sleep good tonight!
