Woke up and there was a tree service truck out front with a bunch of branches down.
Unlike the last guys, who were clearing out for a new pole very nimbly with good communication, this was a hispanophone crew doing line clearance by butchery. Two branches I wish they’d just cut back to the trunk instead of leaving stubs I’ll have to hire a crew (around wires) to clean up before they waterspout up. It is clear the last crew understood how trees grow and this one did not.
That said I did manage to claim the wood for Strawberry Ridge.
