That tree trunk could be levelled and left there as a table perhaps.

When your tree guys return they can easily even it up.<br />I love the way you recycle and reuse stuff. The bridge probably looks very pretty with its new rail.<br />We are still removing dead trees. It's a long process as there are so many of them.<br />Toes crossed that 2022 is going well.<br />smartcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430370214403895826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-18363376198507756822022-01-09T09:01:53.768-05:002022-01-09T09:01:53.768-05:00Dearest Jim,

They will eventually rot. <br />Guess the light will do good, also for the planter boxes that we have along the bay window and veranda wall. Plants died due to lack of light in previous years...<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-16659037906182069382022-01-09T08:42:17.319-05:002022-01-09T08:42:17.319-05:00Hello Mariette, That sounds like a hefty fee for ...Hello Mariette, That sounds like a hefty fee for one section of fence. I had some building materials delivered to my apartment last year, and the fee was only US $3. That trunk seems enormous--are you going to have the stump pulled or ground or otherwise processed? That also sounds like a big mess for your yard. You and Pieter are amazing to take on these big projects, but it will be worth it when that part of your garden regains its usual manicured look.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-81238104548202048842022-01-09T08:37:12.769-05:002022-01-09T08:37:12.769-05:00Dearest Anne,

I always check delivery rates too, because we live out of town a little, and while some deliver free, others charge a lot!
