Mad about dropping trees

Drew’s friend, Chris, took down 18 lodgepole pines from the backyard, and it was cool to watch and hear them crash to the ground. Chris is an artist with a chainsaw and he made short work of all the trees, including a very large, dead tree right next to the porch. Only one tree hit the fence, breaking one of the slats. In the backyard are stacks of wood and lots of slash. The view has improved and it’s safe and better mitigated. Chris also plugged in a 220-volt outlet for the dryer, but there’s no vent, so a little contraption catches the lint but makes the place smell like burnt linen. Trees and electricity: $250.
