This last 30 days has been a real pain starting with the first wind storm the end of November.
To top that off we were without power for 4 days from the storm that did most of this:

So far I have picked up and burned 36 truckloads of debris from our park.
You can barely see my truck behind this pile of debris in the street in the bottom photo.

Sorry to see the dmg to the bldg. I cannot get over how green it is.

W/S are good, they thin out the trees and fell the diseased ones.

A Nature Preserve runs across my fenced back yard and there is a large pile of trees that fell from the Hurricanes, some I think they pushed off my lot.

I would like to cut it up or some have said toburn it. Several of the trees are almost too big for my chain saw. It is about 100' past my house and 10' lower. Any suggestions?

Had to relace 1/2 of the shingles on the roof. HO Ins covered that, Both cars have scratches from flying Shingles, plus mine took a hit from a limb. Ins says 2k in damage. Thanks for the offer.

OK, I'll guess I'll stop complaining about the 30+ inches of snow I just shoveled off my driveway.

Good luck with the clean up.
Sounds like it's under control.

One thing you wouldn't think of is the overpowering smell of fresh pine......After Hurricane Hugo it was amazing how fresh the Charleston area smelled and what a DISSASTER AREA it really was!!:eek: :shake: Some of my friends didn't have running water or power for over a MONTH!!:shake:

Sorry for your problems but just be thankful you don't get Hurricanes out yonder!!:bows:

Good Luck & Happy New Year!!:beer:

Well I can always use comments from the peanut gallery. Makes the time go quicker and the burden lighter. :)

Cut up for firewood and burn the brush.
