Trees: Before and After

When we bought the house we anticipated we would be removing a couple of trees (crab apple and spruce), but we had no idea that we would decide to also remove a very large pine tree next to the driveway.  Turns out the pine tree was significantly damaged in the ice storm 2008 and now saps all over the driveway preventing anyone from parking there. It's pretty sad when you buy a house with a lovely large driveway and your guests have to park in the street. And then there are those guests who parked there for 5 minutes and 6 months later are still trying to remove the sap from their cars.  Ugh! 
Well, no more!  On, 12/15/2009, we forked over the dough & remedied this situation.  I finally took pictures of the "after" on 2/15/2010.

check out the album....P.S. I am still getting used to using a Blog and didn't realize that the captions I typed for the photos do not get posted on the Blog, so because I'm lazy and didn't feel like uploading all the photos and retyping their captions, I'm directing you to view the album!  (I have high expectations of technology that sometimes are superior to it's capabilities!)

Regardless, the album takes you thru the before and after of our property with the removal of 3 trees.
