The repairs...

I took these pictures a week or so ago , just to show you all what the "repairs" look like in my yard. I HATE how my yard looks without that big old maple tree and I am beyond frustrated with all the pieces of tree strewn about. My hubby quickly goes blind to anything of this nature though and he could care less about it. ... sigh
Here is the remnants of the tree:


Side view of the garage....and where they left most of the branch that fell down. You also can see the mound of dirt from the trench that was dug to the garage from our house for the electricity.



And last, but not least...the new roof! I don't have any complaints about this, that's for sure. LOL It matches the house roof exactly. They put the light off to the side instead of in the middle so that it will light up our back door and steps. It does a mighty fine job of lighting our back yard too. It's so bright that I had to go buy room darkening curtains for Caleb's room. That new light is practically even with his window.

The garage looks very nice! I bet Jake loves climbing all over those tree parts, getting his daily dose of splinters. I would also be annoyed with all the tree litter.

I remember after we cut down our big tree we turned it into balance beams, tables, chairs, plates, walls, cars, sled hills, houses. We used the crap outta those tree parts! They also made great firewood :) That yard was so huge you didn't even notice them though.
